A good network monitoring Mainframe ideal characteristics

Timely and comprehensive monitoring is crucial in mainframe management. When the mainframe network monitoring takes place in real time, it is easier to keep track of network problems and correct them before they become dropouts.

Splitter For Real-time Monitoring

Network monitor to improve network performance only when it tells of her condition and their activities online in real time, without having to actually have slowed down the network performance. Network monitor should get information often enough immediate alerts and up-to-date reports still run efficiently enough to disturb the proper functioning of the network.

Consumes less CPU resources

The ideal network monitor consumes little CPU capacity. The display, which consumes 1% or less of the CPU capacity is much more useful than one that is 5% of the CPU. Consumes less CPU capacity means faster provides real-time alerts and reports.

Use less CPU resources, mainframe network monitor should follow an effective data collection, such as the MIB information architecture, without the use of SNMP requests to get a stack of traffic without constant tracing of packets etc.

Enables centralized image size on the network

Another really useful is the network control provides a single image for all the network's z/OS hosts, TCP/IP stacks, applications, and connections. This presents a uniform and consistent image of system health and configuration. It provides a graphical summary of the reports that a number of the TCP/IP stacks of health in many z/OS in the system. It also creates an intuitive links to resources, such as TCP/IP Stacks, interfaces, applications, and connections, and z/OS resources, such as enterprise Extender, PART of a Sysplex Distributor, and CSM buffers.

Easy-to-use interface

A good network monitor uses a browser-based user interface simple and intuitive navigation masterfully. It monitors all the layers, interfaces, TCP and SNA applications, routers, and bumpers on one screen and a summary of system health, statistical information and critical notices. But it will also allow users to easily drill down to individual applications, interfaces and stacks and each individual resource, and a network event.

A browser-based tool for system operator commands

Finally, the ideal network monitor provides easy-to-use, browser-based graphics tools, network diagnosis, treatment and repairs. If the TCP/IP-users easily diagnose problems and take immediate corrective action; an intuitive interface to help them. A graphic, on-line IP packets trace facility offers highly effective problem-solving tool. When the display has doubts as to the operator in the event of a security breach command interface is easy to query the intrusion detection systems that z/OS image to one of your browser screen.

Network performance and availability are important to the business. Thus, a good network monitoring is absolutely essential to the mainframe, and slow down the network line without breaks in the performance process.

Since 1982, the software offers a wide range of services for the first high-quality software and technical support for IBM mainframes and VM, VSE and z/OS, mainframe ftp. SDS mainframe software provides security, encryption, and compression to mainframe data; secure file transfer (SFTP); SNA and IP-network management and automation. and performance monitoring applications and networks.
