Enterprise Level Storage Systems Best Practices
As storage environments continue to grow and become more complex, maintaining stable, high-performing systems is a business imperative, and IntelliMagic's software solutions can help.
The Circle of (Storage) Life
New storage technologies are quickly maturing and replacing legacy platforms. But will they be mature enough to meet your high availability, high performance IT infrastructure needs?
What Good is a zEDC Card?
IntelliMagic Vision for z/OS is a wonderful tool to review zEDC activity and there are likely two reports of great interest, The PCIe Card Utilization, and Compression Ratios.
How’s Your Flash Doing?
Since most storage management algorithms optimize their enterprise storage automatically, you may not have the time or tools to quantify how your Flash is performing.
How Well Does Flash Based Storage Perform In Your High-End Storage Systems?
As the price per gigabyte of flash storage is rapidly decreasing, experts predict that flash will soon be the dominant medium in high-end storage.
Beat the Annual MLC Software Price Increase
MLC costs already consume the largest chunk of many sites mainframe budgets. Here's how you can beat the MLC price increase.
Which Workloads Should I Migrate to the Cloud?
The cloud provides an economic model for computing that may work well for some workloads by reducing costs and having end users pay for what they use.
5 Reasons Why All-Flash Arrays Won’t Magically Solve All Your Problems
It may feel like all-flash systems will solve all your performance issues, but the complexity of the entire infrastructure ensures that there are still plenty of problems to run into.
Mainframe Capacity “Through the Looking Glass”
When processor cache is optimized, mainframe processors remain productive by actively executing instructions rather than unproductively burning cycles.
Achieving Significant Software Cost Reduction on the IBM z13
While most mainframe shops have explored how to reduce mainframe software costs, at IntelliMagic we are finding significant latent savings opportunities still exist at even the best run sites.
How Effective is Your Adaptive Flash Cache?
Adaptive Optimization (AO) provides the user with several performance and capacity related parameters for influencing the behavior of the automatic tiering.
This is alarming
To avoid getting overloaded with meaningless alarms, it is important to implement best practices, the first being a software solution that is intelligent.
