ASG’s Mainframe Automated Application Quality Management Solution combines process automation with in depth-application performance analysis so that customers can proactively optimize performance throughout the application lifecycle. With these offering mainframe companies can decrease their IT operating costs significantly. By using ASG products, enterprises can reduce the amount of time they spend on manual tuning by over 90% and costly hardware and software upgrades can be deferred or avoided.
ASG-TriTune is an advanced and robust application Performance Analysis and Tuning tool designed to identify and address application efficiency – one of the primary issues impacting the performance, cost and complexity of z/OS-based systems. For performance engineers, technical analysts, and applications development teams, ASG-TriTune isolates the sources of excessive processing more quickly and easily than traditional application performance analysis products, improving application response and lowering CPU consumption. TriTune pinpoints application execution delays and presents an in-depth performance profile through an easy-to-use, interactive interface. TriTune is the most advanced solution for eliminating performance inefficiencies that unnecessarily inflate application operational costs.
ASG-APC is the most advanced automation and data mining engine available and serves as the foundation for an enterprise-scale Automated AQM (Application Quality Management) initiative. ASG-APC sits over the entire application environment, learning its behavior by automatically logging related SMF information each time a job step runs. ASG-APC minimizes manual efforts by automating the recognition of runaway jobs, the initiation of measurements, the collection of relevant data, and the analysis of trends. This produces greater resource savings and frees up IT staff for other important tasks.
ASG-APC Performance Desktop provides a unique and comprehensive web-based view of application performance, for the first time bridging the gap between mainframe and web application performance analysis. Traditional performance analysis tools focus on only one application instance or execution at a time, and rarely provide visibility beyond the mainframe. ASG-APC Performance Desktop helps mainframe performance analysts identify overall tuning potential by root-cause analysis of the load on the mainframe and isolation of the responsible caller instances.
ASG-APC BatchMap provides a unique visualization of your daily batch job activities. This Java application enables you to examine batch performance problems in the most targeted way and to analyze and evaluate them on a PC even after they have occurred. ASG-APC BatchMap helps you quickly identify which jobs have caused problems at which point in time and for which reason (CPU consumption / runtime) and if the performance of the jobs has changed. APC BatchMap can only be used together with ASG-APC.
