Ensuring the Mainframe is an Integral Part of Your Enterprise Observability Strategy

(8A)

Stream: Virtual Room 8
Time: 10:00 - 10:45


Presentation

Business success depends on detecting application performance issues in mobile, cloud, or on-prem environments before things turn ugly. Yet most enterprise-wide observability solutions provide little to no visibility into z/OS resources. Even the best operations teams sometimes cannot identify application performance problems until end users are impacted, and reactive root cause analysis delays resolution. In this session we introduce the topic of enterprise observability, including the concept of OpenTelemetry, and show why a complete end-to-end view of hybrid applications, including z/OS, is essential today for everyone in the enterprise from business operations to development to operations.
