IBM Omegamon for Storage on z/OS, V5.5.0

With realtime dataset metrics collection and management

IBM OMEGAMON for Storage on z/OS, V5.5.0 helps to improve user experience with Realtime Dataset Metrics Collection and Management options

OMEGAMON for Storage on z/OS is a SRM and monitoring solution for z/OS. With it, storage administrators can prevent storage-related outages and application slowdowns, and help to ensure you are getting the most out of your investment in storage hardware, software, and media. It provides the visibility, control, and automation that storage administrators need to keep their variety of storage hardware and software subsystems healthy and performing in support of critical applications. Intelligent alerts help focus on events and areas that require attention, while overall monitoring and reporting target operational performance, availability, space management, and application storage performance.

Version 5.5.0 of OMEGAMON for Storage on z/OS
brings the following enhancements:

  • Realtime Dataset Metrics collection options provide the storage administrator with the near real-time data needed to manage storage, and while reducing CPU consumption for periodically gathering and reporting on data set and group attributes.
  • Realtime Dataset Management is a security-rich, web-based capability that helps simplify arranging, navigating, filtering, and sorting voluminous data set information to align with the key tasks that are associated with space management. This provides quick, flexible, direct access to detailed metrics that are related to data set usage, size, and performance in their storage environment, when needed rather than through reports that can take time to run. New or experienced z/OS storage administrators can respond in minutes to developing storage space issues, rather than in hours, thereby preventing critical performance issues or even outages. Data set management views can be customized to enable further flexibility in sorting and filtering to help quickly identify issues and solutions.
  • Realtime Dataset Management exploits Zowe technology, which is a new z/OS-based infrastructure that was co-developed by IBM, Rocket Software, Inc. and CA Technologies. Zowe is designed to make developing, delivering, and running mainframe applications as simple, agile, and intuitive as other cloud platforms, enabling web developers to use familiar tools and APIs without requiring deep knowledge of the z/OS operating environment or data constructs.

OMEGAMON for Storage on z/OS, V5.5.0 helps to enable mainframe IT services organizations to become more nimble and responsive to day-to-day and hour-to-hour changes in their foundational infrastructure. Its focus on storage helps prevent problems that can grow quickly and cause outages if not detected and corrected.

OMEGAMON for Storage on z/OS, V5.5.0 is available individually as a stand-alone offering or as a component of the following suites:

  • Advanced Storage Management Suite, V2.2.2
  • OMEGAMON for z/OS Management Suite, V5.5.1
  • OMEGAMON Performance Management Suite for z/OS, V5.5.1
    IBM Service Management Suite for z/OS, V1.5.1
  • Users of the IBM Service Management Suite for z/OS can gain additional storage management capability from new storage-related dashboards for operations analysts in the Service Management Unite component, including storage events in System Health views, a Storage Overview Page, and Storage Subsystem Details.
