EView/390z Discovery for z/OS

IBM Mainframe (z/OS) Discovery Integrated into HP Discovery and Dependency Mapping Software (DDMS) for HP Universal Configuration Management Database (UCMDB)

IBM Mainframe-z/OS environments continue to play a very critical part in today's corporate IT infrastructures, processing some of the most valued and important data. If you want to successfully control your IT infrastructure, manage the configuration item (CI) lifecycle, and improve overall IT processes, you need accurate information about your hardware and software. Achieving an enterprise view of your CIs demands a solution that provides visualization of both distributed and mainframe resources and uses automation to reduce the risk of errors during discovery and UCMDB repository population.

Organizations need to collect mainframe data, identify mainframe configuration items, and know precisely how they are configured. However, the sheer number of interrelated IT components and configurations as well as the constant changes introduced by business and technology needs makes manual tracking difficult, if not impossible. It's both impractical and costly to have to conduct manual audits and maintain IT service relationships and application dependency mapping information.

EView/390z Discovery for z/OS for HP UCMDB helps solves these very complex issues by extending HP DDM Topology Discovery for HP UCMDB to include the mainframe data. EView/390z Discovery works with the HP Mainframe Content Pack to easily build an inventory of critical physical and logical entities along with their interrelationships. This mainframe information is then populated in the HP UCMDB for service modeling and service impact analysis.
