Application Acceleration: Faster Performance for End Users Eric Kavanagh
Hot Technologies with Dr. Robin Bloor, Dez Blanchfield and IDERA
Application performance issues impact end users the hardest, and too often, IT doesn’t know about it until after the fact. With many applications served by a variety of disparate technologies, troubleshooting bottlenecks can be onerous and time consuming, ultimately causing frustration and missed SLAs. How can IT quickly discover what process affected SQL execution time and keep end users focused on the bottom line?
Register for this episode of Hot Technologies to learn from Analyst Dr. Robin Bloor and Data Scientist Dez Blanchfield as they discuss the complexities of the data pipeline. They’ll be briefed by Bill Ellis of IDERA, who will explain the importance of identifying and resolving the root cause of performance problems. He’ll show how IDERA’s Precise Application Performance Platform can isolate transactions and usage patterns, thus giving IT the necessary tools to provide a consistent end user experience.
Revolutionize Your Data with Precisely and Confluent Streaming TechnologiesPrecisely
Core transactional systems like the z/OS Mainframe and IBM i represent the backbone of the global economy. They run the most mission critical business processes today, but organizations do not have an efficient way to integrate their core business data with emerging cloud platforms for real-time analytics and modernization.
Organizations that successfully integrate and operate new cloud-based technologies alongside these core transactional systems deliver a distinct and differentiated experience for their customers. This experience serves as their competitive advantage as business needs and offerings continue to grow.
Join us for this session to learn how Precisely Connect can help use the power of Confluent to unlock IBM data for powering cloud-native, real-time revenue driving applications. Feel confident in your streaming journey, knowing you don’t need to leave essential transaction data behind!
IBM Storage for Financial Services Institutions (1Q 2017)Elan Freedberg
This presentation shows how IBM Storage helps financial services organizations meet the challenges of digital transformation to enhance the customer experience.
Enhance ServiceNow with Automated Discovery for Mainframe and IBM iPrecisely
IT organizations using ServiceNow for their IT Operation Management (ITOM) rely on the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) to manage infrastructure changes and diagnose problems. But, without an automated Discovery process, companies struggle to keep their CMDBs current, and they can lack information necessary to drive IT processes effectively. As a result, IT staff can waste time and energy trying to determine which business services are impacted by changes, failures, or performance issues as they try to determine root causes for business service problems.
ServiceNow® Discovery provides IT with visibility into IT infrastructure and its changes by automatically discovering physical and virtual devices such as laptops, desktops, servers (physical and virtual), switches, routers, storage, and applications, as well as the dependent relationships between them. However, if you are a company that relies on traditional IBM systems like mainframes or Power Systems running IBM i to support your critical applications for your company, ServiceNow Discovery lacks the ability to integrate CI’s from these systems. Ironstream for ServiceNow fills this gap by seamlessly integrating with ServiceNow to include these critical systems in the regular, automated ServiceNow Discovery process.
Watch this on-demand webinar and learn:
• How critical the Discovery process is to build an effective IT Operations strategy
• How critical Ironstream for ServiceNow is for traditional IBM systems like mainframes and IBM i servers
• How customers have realized the benefits of a successful Discovery process for their IT Operations efforts

The good news is that help is on the way. We will show how to size and configure Splunk SmartStore to yield significant cost savings, for both current and future data growth. In addition, learn how to configure the Splunk deployment for optimal search performance.
Originally presented at Splunk .conf19 on October 22, 2019
If you're like most of the world, you're on an aggressive race to implement machine learning applications and on a path to get to deep learning. If you can give better service at a lower cost, you will be the winners in 2030. But infrastructure is a key challenge to getting there. What does the technology infrastructure look like over the next decade as you move from Petabytes to Exabytes? How are you budgeting for more colossal data growth over the next decade? How do your data scientists share data today and will it scale for 5-10 years? Do you have the appropriate security, governance, back-up and archiving processes in place? This session will address these issues and discuss strategies for customers as they ramp up their AI journey with a long term view.

Data Protection Modernization - Restore, Reuse, ReinventPaula Koziol
We all have to backup data – but it’s often expensive and difficult, and the data we protect generally sits there doing absolutely nothing (unless you really need it). As IT environments change IBM believes that there needs to be a way to unlock value from your backup data. VM Admins, developers, application owners would love to be able to easily access their own backup data for a number of re-use purposes such as testing, development, reporting or analytics.
IBM Spectrum Protect Plus can simplify the backup process whilst making data readily available for the people who really need it - addressing traditional backup needs such as compliance alongside modern data re-use and self service capabilities.
The more you use your data, the more valuable it is.

Financial Institutions must now store more data and get more insights more quickly from that data.
However, with data processing capacity radically improved, the bottleneck becomes the ability to
store and retrieve large volumes of data as rapidly as needed.

Why Flash Matters to Financial Services
In the last 10 years:
DRAM Speed 7 to 9x Increase
Network Speed 100x Increase
Bus Speed 20x Increase
Disk Speed ONLY 1.2x Increase
CPU Speed 8 to 10x Increase
Flash has 50x lower latency than
hard disk drives
Without Flash With Flash (better than SSD)

Note: Economics are based upon typical total cost of ownership (TCO) and vary depending
upon the application solution.
Boost performance and get cost takeout (typically 30-40%)
without re-architecting applications - - with IBM FlashSystem
(Flash is better than SSD)
16. IBM Systems
ESG - on Flash Economics
“- - the IBM FlashSystem enterprise storage offering
represents a tipping point for many use cases where
flash not only offers significant performance
improvements, but also significantly drives down the total
cost of ownership for storage based on a smaller, more
cost-efficient footprint.”

23. Getting Started with Fiserv Applications – IBM Storage
• IBM Briefing –
• Review and demo based upon your needs
• Discuss resources and information available
• Contact – your Fiserv Representative and/or Fiserv Software
Development/Test team
• Ask – your Fiserv Team for a joint meeting with IBM Flash & Storage
Technical Guidance – to:
• Determine fit & specific benefits for your institution
• Conduct a FLiP Analysis – Flash performance impact with IBMi
• Leverage the Fiserv sales & fulfillment process (currently using
AVNET in North America)
• Plan for installation
24. Show the estimated performance
gains based on actual data
• No charge to the customer
• Uses performance data that
most customers are already
gathering
• Leverages:

• IBM i Lab Services
• IBM Flash Centers of
Competency
Why request a FLiP analysis?
25. IBM Systems
IBM FlashSystem and IBMi Performance Evaluation
1.Conduct a kick-off planning call to review workload characteristics of current environment and
review performance data collection requirements
2.Conduct an assessment of the IBM i workload to determine if IBM FlashSystem will provide
the expected performance gains
• Client approves Authorization to Provide Services (APS) letter via email to being
assessment
• IBM i Lab Services reviews collection services data with iDoctor and FLiP tools to
determine the following:
• Verify the current I/O response issues are due to storage architecture limitations, and not tuning or
configuration problems
• Verify the read/write I/O rates are best suited for IBM FlashSystem
• Verify business critical jobs are not driving write intensive workloads
• Review the workload to ensure they will scale with a Flash solution
• Conduct memory analysis to determine memory bottlenecks and tuning opportunities
• Project run time changes for business critical jobs
