IBM i (AS/400) Observability
IBM i systems are renowned for their exceptional performance and stability. However, this can lead to complacency. In a rapidly changing business and technological environment, we may overlook emerging issues. This problem is further exacerbated by the noticeable shrinking of the talent pool with the necessary skills to manage this unique platform. This is where i-Rays comes in. Monitoring system parameters within safe thresholds, detecting anomalies, reducing false alarms, and generating ready-to-use configuration recommendations will help you sleep soundly.

Key benefits
Proactive prevention of problems that may occur in the system (resource saturation, performance degradation).
Increased system efficiency and cost reduction.
The cure for IBM i human resource shortage.
Main use cases
Oversized IBM i hardware backing up suboptimal configuration
The hardware's full potential is not being used, leading to wasted capacity. Higher costs for maintaining and operating more powerful hardware without corresponding benefits.
The company Observability Team has no visibility over your IBM i
The IBM i system is invisible from the perspective of company APM and Observability systems. i-Rays allows for the completion of this picture by adding a key IBM i infrastructure element for Observability Teams.
Increased operational risk due to IBM i staff shortage
Administrators are often burdened with the task of analysing system parameters, which limits their ability to focus on other important tasks. This reliance on experienced personnel can also pose a challenge when there is a shortage of skilled staff. i-Rays addresses this issue by automating the analysis and tuning.
