Optimizing Mainframes for Digital Business
BMC empowers IT to optimize their mainframes for digital business through innovative solutions designed to manage mainframe data, infrastructure and costs in a fast changing digital enterprise.
Data Infrastructure Cost
Gear up for unstructured data and the extreme data volumes and performance requirements.
Shift to a dynamic infrastructure monitoring and management approach that will automatically adapt to changing patterns and volumes.
Aggressively optimize MLC costs. From cost transparency to dynamic capping and subsystem optimization to reduce subsystem instances that drive license costs.
