| Description |
Companies buy System i because it is easy to manage and use. But it can't read minds. Nor can it optimize itself. Over the years, resource usage patterns change, possibly creating processing bottlenecks and unacceptably slow response times for critical business applications. In addition, storage space is wasted and performance declines further as logically deleted records continue to occupy physical space and obsolete objects remain on disk drives well beyond their usefulness. <p></p> System i provides a wealth of data to help analyze performance and storage usage. This information can be employed to liberate wasted space and tune the system. The problem is that, using System i administration tools alone, much of this information is cumbersome to access and, in many cases, its existence is far from obvious. Thus, putting the information to full advantage requires third-party system management tools. This executive overview explores the requirements for these tools and reviews one of Vision Solutions' offerings in this area, Vision Director™. |
