What’s Your Problem?
The iSeries/System i5 is one of the world’s most reliable and available systems … from a hardware point of view. Bring your day-to-day operational availability into line with this.
Today’s corporate computing environment is more demanding than ever. The need for 24x7x365 access to data and zero tolerance for downtime means that your job can at times seem overwhelming. When your iSeries/System i5 logs thousands of events every day, how can you stay on top of every potential disruption to day-to-day operations?
Manual monitoring can erode your staff time and most installation’s headcounts are already stretched. It can disrupt other projects and cause operational costs to soar. And with the complexity of today’s systems, even the most vigilant operator can’t catch everything. In addition to monitoring, the management of systems can become complex when multiple boxes or partitions come into play. Whether located in the same facility or spread across multiple locations, the number of staff needed to maintain operations can be significant and time consuming.
