Description

Avoid burdening your Z System with old and unnecessary software by maximizing the return on investment from your Mainframe systems; this can be achieved through fostering ongoing innovation and speed by utilizing the software resources that are most valuable to your organization via a comprehensive IT asset management strategy. Streamline software expenses, ease asset management responsibilities, and effortlessly meet software vendor audit requirements. ZAO generates a precise inventory of software assets across each mainframe system by executing a batch job that identifies loadable programs within zOS® data sets and z/OS UNIX Systems Services file systems. Continuous monitoring and reporting of each asset's usage provide you with a clear perspective on software asset performance. Furthermore, ZAO allows you to input licensing details for your vendor software assets, which are then cross-referenced with the inventory and usage data on your mainframe systems to uncover optimization opportunities and potential audit risks. By implementing such a program, organizations not only enhance efficiency but also ensure compliance and strategic resource allocation.

Description

Achieve complete accuracy in asset visibility, eliminate excess provisioning, and enhance the efficiency of audits. Utilizing wire-free sensors allows for real-time monitoring of both rack-level environments and power conditions. Moreover, adopting wire-free solutions can significantly boost sustainability efforts and energy savings while overseeing environmental factors. As any seasoned IT asset manager understands, data centers operate in a constantly shifting landscape. Critical IT assets are frequently moved around the facility, with new assets arriving at loading docks or being kept in storage, while devices undergo maintenance or are deployed and decommissioned in response to changing service needs. This dynamic nature leads to the unfortunate misplacement of valuable IT assets that contain sensitive information, often due to ineffective physical asset management practices that fail to keep pace with the rapid changes within the facility. Consequently, there is a pressing need for improved strategies that can adapt to this fluctuating environment and maintain accurate tracking of all assets.
