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

Hybrid data stacks create duplication and delay: mainframe records, on prem apps, and cloud platforms often end up with mismatched copies, brittle ETL, and long lead times for “just one more feed.” Moving large datasets for every use case is slow, costly, and expands the security surface. Rocket® Data Virtualization™ is a data virtualization and federated query solution that enables a governed, virtual data model across mainframe, distributed, and cloud sources—so BI tools, analysts, and applications can query sensitive data in place. Key capabilities: • Federated SQL queries/joins across heterogeneous sources with pushdown • Standard connectivity (e.g., JDBC/ODBC/REST) for BI, analytics, and apps • Virtual views/semantic layer to simplify access and reuse logic • Centralized security controls, auditing, and masking (where supported) • Optional caching/materialization to balance performance and freshness Result: faster time to data with less ETL and lower migration risk.
