In the IT field, we know as “mainframe” certain types of particularly powerful computers for handling large amounts of data

Mainframe monitoring is therefore in charge of supervising the operation of everything regarding this type of devices, taking into account its particular characteristics.

zSeries mainframe control at your fingertips

It is a specific solution to monitor mainframe zSeries environments and integrate it with the rest of your monitoring. It has a series of default monitors that will save you time and administration work to make a daily checklist of the system.

Avoid surprises with real-time monitoring of the resources consumed by your mainframe, controlling billing parameters and saving costs. In addition, monitoring is performed remotely without the need to install any additional software on your mainframe, extracting data from your Sysplex, LPAR or any other resource.

Advantages of Pandora FMS plugin for z/OS

Reduce your costs by monitoring the resources consumed by the Mainframe in real time. Avoid surprises and save money by controlling the parameters of billing per consumption.

Remote monitoring without installation of additional software on the mainframe. Pandora FMS uses a standard component integrated in most mainframes (RMF Data Portal Monitor) that extracts data from its Sysplex, LPAR or any other resource.

"I have spent a lot of time working with the support and development department analyzing our needs for monitoring, different scripts and custom reports, and they have always been able to develop enhancements to the software to meet our requirements while bringing value to the other customers. They are flexible not only in terms of the software but also in terms of the company's roadmap."

"Pandora FMS scored the best out of the many alternatives we reviewed. It solved a lot of gaps that we didn't know how to address: from extracting inventories in real time or a 10-year history, to the user experience. Of all the monitoring software I think Pandora FMS is the one that encompasses the two main ideas that a system of this type should have: simplicity and efficiency. The work of monitoring the events of a huge network is exhausting, but also essential in the field of technology, and tools like this play a great role."
