Ensuring the Mainframe is an Integral Part of Your Enterprise Observability Strategy

Observability is a very hot topic but while there is a large focus on cloud-native, containerized workloads few solutions provide detailed coverage of the mainframe. We will explore what enterprise observability is and why mainframe coverage is critical.

Business success depends on detecting application performance issues in mobile, cloud, or on-prem environments before things turn ugly. Yet most enterprise-wide observability solutions provide little to no visibility into z/OS resources. Even the best operations teams sometimes can’t identify application performance problems until end users are impacted, and reactive root cause analysis delays resolution. In this session we introduce the topic of enterprise observability and show why a complete end-to-end view of hybrid applications, including z/OS, is essential today for everyone in the enterprise from business operations to development to operations.
