Great roi on CPU, MSU, DASD, SLA and MIP costs.

April 16, 2011 - PRLog -- ConiclT Mainframe software solution proactively keeps service level agreements (SLAs) on target. Using existing Mainframe monitors, ConicIT automates the gathering and monitoring of performance data, constantly analyzing the obtained information using sophisticated Behavioral Analysis Technology to predict and profile mainframe performance in real-time. ConicIT is the only tool that enables IT staff to find and repair mainframe problems the first time they happen, drastically lowering Mean Time to Repair by ensuring the root cause is found and fixed right the first time.

ConicIT is a privately held software vendor specializing in the development of a unique self-learning behavioral analysis technology for optimizing mainframe performance. By employing sophisticated mathematical tools and data from existing monitors, ConicIT predicts performance problems, helps solve them the first time they occur, as well as prevent their reoccurrence.
Our mission is to help IT Technical Support and Service Managers control their z/OS Mainframe environments by enhancing IT productivity and performance, and proactively optimize SLA costs, while reducing monthly license fees and operational costs.
