Mainframe operations need visibility and control over what’s actually happening in the environment. Zetaly’s observability solution gives IT operations (ITOps) a comprehensive view of the mainframe ecosystem, transparent resource distribution, and outside context to read it against—the result: informed decisions and issues caught before they reach the business.
A clear view of your mainframe environment
Zetaly’s observability solution monitors, analyzes, and visualizes mainframe system behavior and resource usage, giving IT operations a clear understanding of what’s running and how it’s performing. Real-time insight into performance, availability, and health lets teams optimize resource allocation and address issues before they affect the business.
Transparent, efficient resource distribution
Zetaly attributes mainframe consumption, performance, and service levels to the teams and business lines that use them, at whatever granularity you need: business, data center, entity, or individual transaction.
More context from outside the mainframe
Zetaly’s observability solution doesn’t stop at internal mainframe data. It also integrates external sources, such as technical data, stock market information, and news updates, so IT operations can read mainframe performance in the context of what’s happening outside the organization.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is mainframe ITOps?
Mainframe IT operations (ITOps) is the team responsible for running and supporting the services an organization hosts on its IBM mainframe: keeping them available, managing resource use, and resolving issues as they come up. Zetaly gives IT operations a clear view of the mainframe environment, transparent resource distribution, and outside context to work with.
Is mainframe observability the same as ITOps?
No. Mainframe observability is the practice of gathering and analyzing mainframe telemetry to understand its state. ITOps is the broader team and discipline that runs IT services and benefits from observability. Observability is how you see the mainframe; ITOps acts on it.
Do I need a mainframe specialist to read the dashboards?
No. If you have the mainframe expertise and resources in-house, you can build your own dashboards with Zetaly Service Intelligence (ZSI). If you don’t, Zetaly’s services team can help you set them up. Once built, the dashboards are organized by business domain, so IT operations can see what matters to their part of the mainframe environment without needing a specialist to interpret it.
Can Zetaly attribute mainframe resource use to specific business units?
Yes. Zetaly attributes consumption, performance, and service levels to the teams and business lines that use them, at whatever granularity you need, from business or data center down to entity or individual transaction.
Does Zetaly’s ITOps solution include data from outside the mainframe?
Yes. Zetaly integrates external sources, such as technical data, stock market information, and news updates, alongside your mainframe data, so IT operations can read internal performance in the context of what’s happening outside the organization.
