BlueStripe Accelerates Root Cause Problem-Solving with New Transaction Analytics - Yahoo! News:

"BlueStripe Software, a leader in application transaction management solutions, today announced the availability of transaction-specific analytics for problem isolation. BlueStripe’s FactFinder transaction monitoring solution now includes the Correlatron™ analytics engine that accelerates root cause analysis of application and transaction issues by showing users the most likely problem areas when an issue occurs.
Correlatron pares down the millions of metrics in typical application environments to just the thousands that are relevant to an application or transaction path; then analyzes that data to identify a small set of candidat

es most closely related to the problem. By leveraging FactFinder’s comprehensive transaction dependency awareness, Correlatron automates the process of identifying which metrics are likely connected to a specific problem (such as slow Login Response Time)."

Soft4ops - Why uJES ?

Soft4ops - Why uJES ?: "

uJES is a Job Entry Subsystem for Unix, Linux, Windows and Mac/OS Platforms.

uJES provides most of the job management facilities you get from an IBM's Z/OS System running JES2 or JES3.

uJES is intended to be used by people who know the MVS production, whether they are still active in that environment or not. In any case, uJES is targeting two categories of users:

The “forced approach” where MVS users find themselves unwillingly involved with Unix systems. This being the result of a downsizing from MVS or the addition of a Unix production to their MVS environment.
The “deliberate approach” where MVS users really want to take over all or part of the Unix batch production process while retaining their habits and working methods.
Although MVS has been a proven technology for many years while MVS staff also build reliable and highly valuable skills. The Unix operating system was never designed to manage IT batch production."

The End Of ERP | LinkedIn

The End Of ERP | LinkedIn:

That’s right. ERP’s days are numbered. And it is because of a fundamental shift that is taking place regarding how people consume products and services driven by the massive growth of the cloud itself.

I’m referring to the shift we are experiencing away from a 20^th century product-based, “buy once” economy to a 21^st century services-based “Subscription Economy” centred around recurring customer relationships.

APM is hot right now | SYS-CON MEDIA:

"A recent article in NetworkWorld highlighted the surge that is being seen in the Application Performance Monitoring space recently.

The article came about after AppDynamics and BlueStripe released news that their revenues increased 400 and 700 percent, respectively, in 2011. And quoted in the same article was EMA Analyst Julie Craig, author of her own recent Radar Report on APM, who said she doesn’t doubt these vendors’

claims because, “APM is hot right now."

IBM's System z mainframe progresses on its journey toward a hybrid 'system of systems'

IBM's System z mainframe progresses on its journey toward a hybrid 'system of systems':

"At one time, IBM's multiplatform strategy was considered a disadvantage when compared with other systems companies with less 'legacy' baggage. But as HP and Oracle/Sun increasingly lead with the x86 option, Big Blue is looking more differentiated – it can offer 'fit for purpose' systems from x86/distributed through to proprietary Unix, mainframes or integrated systems. Of course, updating the mainframe is more about retaining its current user base then acquiring new customers, but for the first time in many years new mainframe users are emerging. Given the right use cases, mainframes can work out to be cheaper than distributed systems. IBM claims the average cost of a distributed system is 2.2 times greater than System z – mainframe hardware costs are higher, but the software costs (excluding migration) are much lower."

Can anyone catch NetSuite in cloud ERP?

Can anyone catch NetSuite in cloud ERP?:

"As companies like SAP have taken their time introducing fully cloud-enabled platforms to the market, with other SaaS players vying for SMBs, one thing has become clear: In the cloud ERP space, this should be NetSuite's market to lose. While we believe that NetSuite has the most sophisticated cloud ERP solution, its refocused enterprise play means it has to do battle in areas where SaaS and cloud are not the driving forces behind a decision, but NetSuite's more methodical approach to attacking vertical industries could pay off. It has not simply thrown these offerings together; rather, it has spent years developing faster-to-deploy industry packages. Also, in a world that is increasingly comfortable with SaaS and cloud apps, NetSuite's OneWorld offering could be highly attractive to any large company dealing with many global subsidiaries, or companies with many acquired divisions using outdated ERP tools."

MainframeZone.com - IT Management: Business Perspective: How Cross-Platform Workload Automation Can Help Your Business

Soar

"To understand what a cross-platform tool can do for workload scheduling, think in terms of the challenges an air traffic controller faces. Imagine a controller who is trying to direct flights to different terminals but can only see the schedule of one airline and one terminal—Terminal A. So, if conditions change and it’s no longer practical for the controller to direct flights to Terminal A, the logical approach would be to have the planes land at another terminal. But without visibility into the traffic at Terminals B, C, and D, the options are limited. The planes might have to keep flying in circles until it’s safe to land. Planes that need to take off from Terminal A may be delayed on the ground. This lack of visibility impacts the flight schedule, costs, and, perhaps most important, customer satisfaction.

When you apply that same analogy to managing workloads in your business, it’s easy to see why having an enterprisewide view of the different jobs that are scheduled and how they work together is essential for meeting business needs"
