Systar

UKCMG members are invited to join Systar and Enda Quain, IT Manager of Allied Irish Banks Capital Markets, to learn how, thanks to Systar's OmniVision solution, AIB have found a better way to manage their servers and applications, achieving reductions in IT costs and improvements in service quality.

AIB use OmniVision because it automatically delivers "best practice" analyses of activity, capacity and usage across their entire IT assets. In minutes this unique capacity management tool can provide real value for hundreds of systems with very low ownership cost and with no extra effort.

The software also supplies management reports especially conceived for virtual servers, virtual sever hosts and virtualisation projects.

The Breakfast Seminar Agenda features AIB's experience, together with a presentation and demonstration of the innovative OmniVision software.

Take the Enterprise Performance Vision (EPV) Health Report for zOS Challenge

Take the Enterprise Performance Vision (EPV) Health Report for zOS Challenge 

EPV would like to give all UKCMG members an opportunity to have EPV for zOS review their systems performance and configuration. We will be attending the UKCMG; with just a few hours’ worth of your performance data, we will be able to provide you with a detailed view of performance issues that you didn’t know you had or alternatively we can confirm that you run the most efficient shop in the country and you can use the report at your next appraisal.   

This health report which we can provide in a few shakes of the mouse using EPV for zOS would have taken you days to produce yourself (and then only if you had 3 performance experts with 20 years experience standing at your shoulder to advise you (or if you already have 20 years experience then maybe just 2 additional performance experts)).  

We can show you how EPV guides you to any level of granularity of the information, and why you would have reached the same conclusions, just as fast, on your own, using EPV for zOS. 

What’s the worst that could happen?   

Well yes, it may be difficult to explain why the system performance is suddenly 15% better. But we can give you some excellent reasons for that too. 

EPV for zOS will show you things you never knew about your system, help you sort out configuration errors and help remove the peaks in your batch processing. 

If you would like us to prepare a Systems Health Report to show you then contact us at EPV@inspired-solutions.co.uk or ring Jon Olley on +44 (161) 7926540 

If you don’t have zOS then contact us anyway, because we can do it on UNIX and Windows too. For more information go to Enterprise Performance Vision at http://www.epvtech.com .
