1: What is Capacity Management?

An Enterprise needs:

Sales

Marketing

CustomerService

Finance

Operations

Product Development

HumanResources Work on scenarios to

align development resources

IT

Manage rolling expenses

Provide discovery and planning tools to reduce error-prone spreadsheet

work

Effective Operations both for Systems of Records and Systems of Engagement

for IT and Lines Of Businesses

A process that helps to:

� Optimize resource utilization

� Ensure application availability

� Consolidate and reduce costs

� Deliver agreed service level targets

CMA helps you to meet the SLA

CMA = Capacity Management Analytics SLA = Service Level Agreement

What is Capacity Management?

... and with advanced IT Data Analytics, you can better understand and

optimize your workload (chargeback scenarios), what-if scenarios,

problem identification, and much more ...

� Collect & store IT data from various data sources

� Prepare the data for analysis: Extract, Transform & Load (ETL)

� Analyze the past events

� Predict future trends

� Visualize the data

How to do Capacity Management?

Capacity Management Analytics (CMA)

Detect Transaction Anomalies

z Software Middleware Stack

CMA Use Case - DISCOVER: Unified View of the past

• Analyze events across the whole enterprise

CMA Use Case - DISCOVER: Advanced Analysis 1

• Are you getting the most out of your mainframe?

What-if analysis: Relocation to zIIP/zAAP Engines

CMA Use Case - DISCOVER: Advanced Analysis 2

• Monitor how well the specified LPAR Policy is working

CMA Use Case - DISCOVER: Problem Identification 1

• Identify anomalies

CMA Use Case - DISCOVER: Problem Identification 2

• Based on transaction CPU utilization and elapsed time,

find out which CICS transaction is anomalous

• Use the result to tune or fix problem

CMA Use Case - FORECAST: Prediction Story

• Predict trends

CMA Use Case - OPTIMIZE: Application Workload 1

• How much MIPS do your applications consume?

• Which applications are growing? How much should I charge

back?

CMA Use Case - OPTIMIZE: Application Workload 2

• MIPS Used by Applications in an LPAR by day/week/month

• How do they compare from period to period?

CMA Use Case - OPTIMIZE: Software Costs Analysis, Observed

• Track product MSU usage and costs at LPAR and Server level,

identifying peak intervals and tracking 4 hour rolling average

(4HRA)

CMA Use Case - OPTIMIZE: Software Costs Analysis, MSU Forecast

• Predict future MSU and cost usage based on forward utilization

model

CMA Use Case - OPTIMIZE: Software Costs Analysis, $ Forecast

• Suggest alternative LPAR / product configurations to take

advantage of white space and reduce billable MSU where

possible
