Reduce mainframe operating costs

Keep your IBM zSystems mainframes operating at peak efficiency

Mainframes deliver legendary security and reliability for transaction workloads as well as business-critical applications and data. But ensuring uninterrupted access to mainframes often comes at a price—as CEOs, CFOs and CIOs point out at annual budgeting time. Rocket® Mainstar® solutions can reduce mainframe costs by optimizing your mainframe CPU, I/O, and storage resources.

Maximize Your Mainframe Investment

Operate z/OS, Db2, and IMS systems at peak efficiency

IBM® z Systems® mainframes handle business-critical transactions, applications, and data for companies in virtually every industry. According to IBM, an estimated 80 percent of enterprise data originates on (or is stored in) mainframes. Business demands uninterrupted access to mainframe data and applications, and downtime is unacceptable.

Rocket Mainstar solutions automate mainframe performance optimization, catalog and system management, disaster recovery, storage management, and security. They help you reduce operating costs by optimizing performance and ensuring the most efficient use of resources to get more from your current mainframe investment. We've spent the last 26 years assembling, building, and improving a rich portfolio of products and data management solutions.

Mainstar systems and data management solutions let you operate IBM® z/OS®, Db2®, and IMS™ systems at peak efficiency, so you don't have to move your critical data or applications away from the mainframe because of cost. Instead, you can take full advantage of your mainframe's prodigious power and legendary processing efficiency for new applications, strategic initiatives, and business opportunities.

Reduce IT overhead

Rocket Mainstar solutions reduce mainframe costs by letting IT people do more, faster, and with fewer proprietary skills. For example, you can manage VSAM storage with just two commands, eliminating the need for extensive technical experience. You can find and resolve problems in z/OS systems faster, improve application performance without touching the applications, and cut IT management processes from days to minutes (ask us about Db2 cloning).

Lower resource consumption

Rocket Mainstar solutions also reduce consumption of current resources, avoiding the need for additional investment. For example, you can perform instantaneous data backups and achieve your recovery objectives while using fewer CPU, I/O, and storage resources. You can improve security while reducing help desk costs by eliminating static passwords—and their administrative burden—from your mainframe.

Improve data and server availability

By using LDAP to directly access the enormous amount of mainframe security data stored on multiple directories, you can eliminate a whole host of middleware components and simplify the administration of multiple directories. You can improve data or server availability without adding computing resources.

All of this adds up savings you can bank on, and efficient mainframes that can handle more applications, data, and processes—and more business.
