With Rocket® EVA™, we’re redefining operational diagnostics to enable IT modernization without disruption. Teams no longer must choose between depth, speed, and simplicity—EVA™ delivers all three.

By tracing issues from the first symptom to the exact line of code, EVA™ provides a unified path to insight without the multi-product complexity other vendors require. Its ability to extend diagnostics across platforms and integrate third-party MCP tools reduces the time to resolve issues, setting a new benchmark for how enterprises maintain resilient, high‑performing systems."

Michael Curry President of the Data Modernization Business Unit Rocket Software

When you look at the market as a whole, the announcement reflects a broader move away from "lift and shift" modernization toward a more surgical, intelligence-led approach. We see Rocket EVA as a prime example of this "intelligence-first" strategy.

    HOW IT WORKS

    How does Rocket EVA™ help teams diagnose and resolve issues faster?

    Rocket EVA acts as an always-on systems expert, using AI to translate complex core system data into clear, actionable answers. Built on MCP standards, EVA deeply understands your environment, enabling teams to diagnose issues, explore performance, and receive recommendations in seconds.

    Natural-language interaction

    Ask EVA about your core systems in plain language and get clear, context-rich answers, with no specialized training, commands, or tools required.

     

    Plain-language questions

    Ask about system health, performance, or anomalies, such as a CICS slowdown or a recurring application failure, and get answers in seconds.

    Conversational interface

    Query monitoring tools, analytics platforms, and operational knowledge bases in one conversation instead of navigating multiple tools.

    Guided follow-up

    Ask follow-up questions to dig deeper, from an unresponsive payment system to activity surges and CPU use in affected CICS regions..

    Domain-aware intelligence

    Built-in mainframe expertise lets EVA interpret signals and terminology in context, grounding every answer in Rocket's deep core-systems knowledge.

     

    Trained on mainframe knowledge

    Extensively trained on mainframe-specific knowledge, EVA interprets signals and terminology to accelerate triage and recommend next actions.

    Deep z/OS and CICS coverage

    Accesses core z/OS data such as SMF records, RMF performance data, job output, and message queues, including deep CICS analysis.

    Institutional knowledge, applied

    Connects operational data with historical knowledge and prior resolutions, so teams of every experience level benefit from seasoned expertise.

    Instant insight delivery

    EVA surfaces relevant data and correlations immediately, tracing issues from the first symptom to the responsible code and shortening troubleshooting cycles.

     

    Symptom-to-code tracing

    Trace issues from initial symptoms through system interactions to the responsible code, using the built-in Analyzer and Rocket's data scanners.

    Cross-platform correlation

    Correlates operational data across mainframe, distributed, and hybrid systems to speed root cause analysis across the full transaction path.

    Recommended next steps

    Recommender-driven actions help teams triage quickly, reduce mean time to resolution, and act on cost and performance optimization.

    Human-centric operations

    EVA makes critical systems more approachable for experienced specialists and modern DevOps teams alike, easing learning curves and improving handoffs.

     

    Broader team access

    Operators, administrators, and IT teams gain reliable insight into complex systems, reducing reliance on a small pool of specialists.

    Humans stay in control

    AI-driven actions stay within defined policy boundaries, with activity logged for auditability and human oversight supported where required.

    Start small, scale over time

    A pluggable framework lets teams begin with focused use cases and expand AI-assisted operations at their own pace.
