Providing Solutions That Fit Your z/OS Performance and Capacity Needs!
 |
Peter Enrico, z/OS Performance Analyst, Seminar Instructor & and Pivotor® creator. |
The capabilities of EPS Inc. staff extend beyond the system programmer skill set, and include performance (measurement, tuning, and analysis) for systems and applications, systems maintenance, operations, and project management. Peter Enrico and his team have strong and diverse experience with the IBM zArchitecture platform, and solid backgrounds in performance measurement, analysis, and capacity planning of z/OS, Workload Manager, Parallel Sysplex, UNIX System Services, J2EE Application Architecture, WAS, WMQ, CICS, DB2, and much more.
SMF 113 Analysis Offering
Currently Peter Enrico is offering a free and personalized SMF 113 (Processor Cache Counters) analysis and education session. If you send Peter your SMF 113 records, he will arrange a WebEx session with you and your team to
explain your SMF 113 measurements. Over 40 separate installations have taken Peter up on this offer. If you are interested, please send Peter an email at Peter.Enrico@EPStrategies.com.
Pivotor® Reporting for z/OS Health Check®
Pivotor® is a state of the art web (and cloud) based data reporting and data mining solution that allows users to concentrate on benefiting and learning from the data while spending less time working to code SQL, maintaining or coding SAS, data summarization, or the actual reporting of the data.
Pivotor® reports can be used for both ad-hoc reporting, and batch generated static reporting for daily report sharing.
(Pivotor Glossy)
Pivotor® is offered on either a service subscription basis (where we do all the reporting for you), or on a licensing basis.
Pivotor® is great for daily, weekly, monthly reporting, and our Rich View feature allows you to actually data mine static reports.
For our z/OS customers, Pivotor® includes a very comprehensive set of pre-canned reports for processor, storage, I/O, Sysplex, WLM, Batch, DB2, WAS, WMQ, SMF 113, and much more. Adding your own reports is simple and easy.
The abilities of Pivotor® extend well beyond the reporting of standard z/OS SMF data. Pivotor® can be used for data mining and reporting of
nearly any data stored in Oracle, DB2, MySQL, or SAS databases. This also makes Pivotor® a great front end to data mine your already existing performance or customer databases.
Pivotor® does not require SAS and Pivotor® runs on Linux, UNIX, z/OS, and Windows.
Because Pivotor® is a cloud solution, the data need not be on the same system as the reporter. In fact, Pivotor® is ready made for the z196 Blade Server environment.
For more information about Pivotor® and how to bring your reporting system into the year 2011,
please visit www.pivotor.com or contact sales@EPStrategies.com.
