RMF Magic
RMF Magic creates profound insight into z/OS storage performance by applying intelligent algorithms to the available RMF or CMF data. It enables better performance on less hardware with less time spent on performance issue resolutions.
Today’s mainframe storage architectures are more capable than ever. At the same time their increased complexity makes it more difficult than ever to manage I/O performance. The main performance bottlenecks have shifted from the host down to the internal components of the disk storage system, and are not visible with the classic I/O performance metrics.
RMF Magic shows you what is happening inside your disk storage systems. This way you can resolve problems before they affect performance. Once the fast access to your mainframe storage data is assured, that is no longer an issue for the performance of your applications.
RMF Magic enables complete, easy, and effective disk system performance management using both graphical views and detailed reports. With RMF Magic you can optimize I/O throughput and solve performance trouble before it affects your end users. This way you spend less time on fire-fighting and can focus on proactive performance management. Existing hardware can be used for a longer period, and you can save on new hardware acquisition by knowing exactly what your workloads need.
