BMC Mainframe Solutions Optimize the performance, availability and cost of complex z/os environments
If you depend on your mainframe, you can rely on BMC Sof tware. Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow. You can depend on BMC for technologies and services that optimize mainframe availability. Superior database tools, monitoring solutions, automation packages, middleware management, schedulers and capacity planning solutions BMC is focused on your mainframe needs. BMC solves business problems with leading-edge solutions that span every aspect of mainframe environments. BMC solutions intelligently automate mainframe tasks, optimize performance, improve availability, increase productivity, ensure recoverability and integrity, and predict capacity needs. Simplify and automate IT with Business Service Management (BSM) BSM from BMC enables you to automate IT processes, improve decision-making and orchestrate workflow to manage the hybrid data center including cloud, virtual, distributed and mainframe resources. Efficiently manage business services across their lifecycle in these five key areas: Request and support simplify and automate processes for requesting, changing and supporting business services. Provision and configure consistently deploy business services across applications, servers, networks and clients. Monitor and operate proactively identify and resolve IT issues across cloud, virtual, distributed and mainframe environments. Plan and govern manage your IT supply, demand and budget, and ensure compliance with policies and regulations. Integrate and orchestrate discover, model, visualize and assign priority to business services. Combine and orchestrate data and workflow to improve efficiency. BSM from BMC provides a comprehensive and unified methodology that simultaneously reduces IT costs, improves quality of service, manages risk and provides transparency so that IT can operate more efficiently. With BSM, IT organizations have the information they need to make effective decisions, prioritize work based on business-critical services and orchestrate workflow across core IT management functions. 2
Mainframe Cost Optimization In many IT organizations, a large portion of the budget is allocated to the mainframe. Because this large allocation shows up as a single line item rather than spread across multiple systems it is often red flagged as a prime target for cost reduction, even though most critical applications run on mainframe systems. The mainframe cannot remain static. Now part of a hybrid environment and expected to integrate and interoperate with the enterprise as a whole mainframe systems and tools must continue to be improved or modernized to avoid sweeping budget cuts and IT operations groups must find new ways to address changing requirements at a lower cost. BSM for Mainframe Cost Optimization reduces mainframe consumption and increases efficiency through intelligent automation, resource-conserving technologies and the use of low-cost specialty engines. To support a complete hybrid environment, BMC provides mainframe solutions for data management, workload automation, middleware and transaction management, and system performance. With BSM for Mainframe Cost Optimization, you will: Reduce variable workload charges and extend capacity by exploiting specialty processors, such as IBM ziips Gain control over processes and ensure compliance with business requirements and service level commitments Prevent and correct performance problems to minimize the risk of lost business and fines associated with missed targets Optimize resources (hardware, software and staff) and ensure ongoing availability of critical business systems Mitigate the risk of unplanned outages and data integrity exposures 3

BMC Database Management solutions ensure the availability and reliability of the DB2 and IMS databases and applications. Optimize performance. Tune applications and systems to run more quickly and efficiently reducing response times and unnecessary CPU costs. Ensure availability. When databases are well organized, applications get the best possible end-to-end response times. BMC solutions identify which databases need maintenance, and then create and schedule the appropriate maintenance jobs. BMC solutions are ideal for complex environments with thousands of objects and high transaction rates. Simplify administration. BMC solutions simplify day-to-day administrative tasks and significantly reduce the time required to perform changes and migrations, vastly improving DBA productivity. Ensure recoverability. BMC solutions provide safe, customized database backup and recovery for your database, and automate backup and recovery processes with intelligent automation. They offer high-speed apply capabilities, backout capabilities, transactionlevel recovery, disaster recovery, and instant snapshot backup and recovery functionality. 4
Simplify and automate enterprise workloads BMC Control-M provides an enterprise-wide dynamic workload management solution for physical, virtual and cloud environments that integrates and manages critical business processes from a single point of view. Workload automation has evolved from traditional job scheduling based on date/time criteria with static needs to a dynamic model based on fluctuating workloads with changing needs. BMC Control-M coordinates varied workload types with complex dependencies across multiple environments, operating systems, platforms and applications in real time. BMC Control-M for z/os BMC Control-M Tape BMC Control-M Analyzer Dynamic workload management establishes the criteria for enterprise workloads, enabling you to adapt to real-time resource availability Cloud readiness provides the elasticity you need to meet service levels and priorities Workload lifecycle management captures cross-functional documentation associated with change requests, enabling you to meet audit requirements BMC Control-M helps you meet production deadlines, reduce management costs, integrate diverse platforms and applications, plan for future growth and ensure that your IT processes can be audited all while providing a quick time to value. 5
Optimize middleware and transaction management Administration Administration for WebSphere MQ Administration for TIBCO EMS Performance Performance and Availability BMC MainView for WebSphere MQ BMC MainView for WebSphere Application Server BMC Performance Manager for WebSphere Business Integration Transactions Transaction Monitoring Transaction Analytics for WebSphere MQ Because IT organizations are adding Web front-ends to legacy applications, the mainframe is one of many platforms for processing business applications. As applications become more complex, it is difficult to determine what went wrong when something fails. By proactively managing a cross-enterprise view of the middleware environment, you get critical context information, leading to fewer service disruptions and quicker resolutions when problems do occur. BMC Middleware Management solutions provide end-to-end monitoring, management and administration that: Unifies your middleware management across mainframe and distributed systems Ensures reliable alerts, proactive notification and automated resolution of problems Provides secure self-service administration of middleware projects Tracks all changes and creates dynamic, real-time reports and audit trails Monitors and reports on your transactions and application data in real-time BMC MainView Transaction Analyzer correlates the resources used by complex transactions across multiple systems. It uses existing data from other BMC MainView monitoring products to provide a consolidated view of the component activities, giving you a single source of information to analyze a spectrum of problems.
