Ironstream for Kafka

Completing the Picture for IT Analytics with Ironstream for Kafka

You have carefully selected and implemented leading solutions to support your key IT analytics and security management objectives. And you have no doubt invested a lot of time and effort to integrate and streamline those platforms, because you understand that data and process silos just don’t make sense. But you may be struggling to integrate your IBM i and mainframe systems, due to their unique and complex operating systems and data structures. Extracting IBM system security and operational log data requires specialized knowledge and skills, and delivering that data to your IT analytics and security systems stubbornly defies automation.

You simply cannot leave those systems to be managed as silos. Yet, even the most successful attempts to tie them in using customized manual processes still leaves you with “semi-silos” operating on the periphery of your otherwise integrated operations.
