Services >> Performance Health Check The main objective of this service is to verify the presence of resource critical situations, mission critical application performance problems, incorrect system parameters and abnormal workloads behaviours, identifying possible corrections. Mainframe environments only >> Capacity Planning The Capacity Planning service is focused to identify the needed amount of CPU power to host the projected workloads; following the balanced systems methodology and evaluating the historical evolution of some “inter resource” indexes. Indications on the needs of the other fundamental system resources (memory, I/O, etc.) are also provided. All environments >> Server Consolidation The aim of this service is to evaluate the opportunity to reduce the total number of Servers to manage. The activity requires medium, long term data toanalyze, in order to calculate also seasonal peaks. Unix, Linux and Windows environments. >> Resource Accounting The aim of this service is to realize a brand new Resource Accounting application or to adequate the existing applications to the technological evolution. All environments >> Service Level Reporting The aim of this service is to realize a brand new Service Level Reporting application or to adequate the existing applications to the technological evolutions. All environments >> Downsizing of SMF There’re many companies worldwide using the SAS language on PC, or a distributed platform, to load and analyse statistical data coming from mainframe systems; you can find many examples simply subscribing to the MXG mailing list. This kind of application is a great candidate to downsizing; there’re many advantages, and amongst them a great reduction in direct and indirect costs. Mainframe environments only >> MICS to MXG Conversion Worldwide there’re many companies that converted their CA-MICS applications to MXG The major advantages are: • Reduction of licence costs (MXG is much cheaper and its cost is independent by the used or installed MSUs); • MXG is faster in reacting to system and subsystems changes. Mainframe environments only >> ITRM to MXG Conversion Worldwide there’re many companies that converted their ITRM applications to MXG The major advantages are: • Reduction of licence costs (MXG is much cheaper and its cost is independent by the used or installed MSUs); • MXG is faster in reacting to system and subsystems changes. Mainframe environments only >> Ad-hoc Performance Studies The aim of this service is to analyse and clearly define the reasons for a specific critical situation, usage of resources or performance of mission critical applications, workload behaviours and system parameter definitions, identifying possible solutions and corrective actions. All environments
