Product Description

BMC Compuware zAdviser is a cloud-based analytics platform designed to help enterprises optimize IBM Z mainframe performance, availability, and cost using data-driven insights. By collecting and analyzing performance data from mainframe environments, zAdviser delivers actionable recommendations that enable organizations to improve efficiency, reduce MIPS consumption, and modernize operations without disrupting mission-critical systems. The platform provides visibility across CPU usage, batch performance, transaction response times, capacity trends, and software cost drivers. With intuitive dashboards, benchmarking, and predictive insights, zAdviser helps teams understand where inefficiencies exist and how to correct them. Enterprises use zAdviser to control mainframe costs, improve service levels, and support modernization initiatives with confidence. With AiDOOS, zAdviser becomes a continuously optimized mainframe intelligence layer. AiDOOS configures data ingestion, custom dashboards, performance benchmarks, and reporting aligned to business KPIs. AiDOOS also integrates zAdviser insights with ITSM, APM, and FinOps workflows, enabling proactive optimization and governance across hybrid IT environments. Together, BMC Compuware zAdviser + AiDOOS empower organizations to run high-performing, cost-efficient mainframe operations with clarity and control.
