zManager: Platform Performance Management

One of the strengths of the System z platform and the z/OS operating system is the ability to run multiple workloads at the same time within one z/OS image or across multiple images, and to manage those workloads according to performance goals that you set. The Platform Performance Management component of IBM zEnterprise Unified Resource Manager extends this goal oriented performance management capability to both traditional System z and BladeCenter hardware environments. This extended capability provides monitoring of System z and BladeCenter hardware resources in context of performance policy and enables dynamic adjustments to CPU resources to ensure that multi-tier applications that span System z and IBM blade resources are provided with sufficient CPU resources.
