Optimize your mainframe cost strategy without compromise

Guarantee quality of service while keeping costs under control

In a mainframe environment, maintaining quality of service can result in having to make financial concessions on MSU cost. Optimizing MSU consumption is a top priority for every Mainframe Manager, as is providing efficient service to drive business agility. Monitoring MSU consumption and controlling MSU allocation is an effective approach to ensure you comply with SLAs and optimize costs.

AutoSoftCapping uses Real Intelligence Technology to allocate the right number of MSU to the right LPAR, at the right moment and at the right cost.
