Discover zPulse
Thirty seconds, sound on: what zPulse does with your RMF, CMF and DCOLLECT reports. Disk, tape, CPU and space in one app, on your own premises.
Expertise + software
Most tools stop at the chart. We have analysed z/OS storage for thirty years, and zPulse is what we built to do it. You get both: the software that runs every night, and an expert who tells you what the curves mean.
Two modes. One app.
zPulse works in two ways. Pick the one that fits your role, or use both.
Mode 1 · For storage engineers
Choose a scope, start from the overview, drill down to the volume.
Manual · 1
Pick the reports, the LPARs and the period: one day, several days added up, or two periods compared.
Manual · 2
One screen for disk, CPU and tape: what was busy, what was slow, and where to look first.
Manual · 3
From the overview to any of the 40 dashboards, then to the volume, the LCU and the quarter of an hour.
Mode 2 · For storage managers
Let the files pile up night after night. Every morning, one mail tells you what happened yesterday.
Automatic · 1
Every night your reports land in a folder. zPulse picks them up at the time you choose and adds them to a 60-day history.
Automatic · 2
Before the morning meeting: yesterday at a glance, against the last 60 days, for disk, CPU, tape and space.
Automatic · 3
zPulse compares yesterday with its own 28-day baseline and flags what drifted. A local AI says why, in plain words, without leaving your site.
How we work together
No slide deck, no generic benchmark: the first thing we show you is your own system.
01Start here
Send us your RMF or CMF reports, or a DCOLLECT extract. An expert runs it through zPulse and walks you through the findings.
02One-off
A focused engagement on the question you need answered, with a written report.
03Ongoing
zPulse runs your studies every night; a Technical Storage expert reviews them with you on a regular basis.
Four modules
The analyses of EADM, EATM and EAMC, now in one place, on a single data model, with history and scheduling.
Response time by component, hot volumes, cache, FICON channels, I/O topology.
Tape catalogue capacity, virtual tape mounts and response time, TS7700 VEHSTATS statistics.
MSU used, R4HA, LPAR activity, WLM workloads and service classes.
Allocated and free space, fragmentation and defrag score by LPAR, storage group and volume.
In their words
“The morning mail is the first thing we read. When something drifts, we see it before the users do.”
“Their expert found the IOSQ problem in our own data in the first call. That is what convinced us, not the slides.”
“We ran the old tool and zPulse side by side for a month before switching. The history is now in one place.”
Trust… but verify.
Send us an extract, we run it through zPulse, and an expert presents the results to your team. Free, and without commitment.
