Precisely Ironstream Brings Mainframe Observability to Modern Enterprise IT Services

Why mainframe operations must be integrated with enterprise IT services.

Enterprise IT leaders have a little secret: mainframe systems are not dead! Rather, mainframes are here to stay.

The key challenge then for IT leaders is no longer how to cut mainframe operations, but how to modernize them, even as they optimize their IT estate, processes, staffing, and skillsets for new cloud and hybrid services. With this context, mainframe and hybrid operations must be deeply connected to the broad IT estate with integrated monitoring and end-to-end visibility, to maintain service quality, performance, reliability, security, and capacity for mission-critical services, and thus ensure customer satisfaction and business performance.

Because after decades migrating mainframe workloads onto distributed, commodity, or cloud systems, the ‘low-hanging fruit’ has all been plucked. What remains is complex, platform-specific, mission-critical work that relies on the unparalleled scale, availability, reliability, security, and throughput of IBM® Z® mainframes.
