At the end of the day, z/OS performance management is about keeping the
business’ key applications running smoothly and without issues. But tying
specific performance/capacity issues to specific applications has always been a
challenge. In this session, we’ll cover FinOps, a concept that combines
financial operations with cloud computing, and its relevance to mainframe
environments. Key points: 1. What is FinOps: Understanding its origins,
evolution, and importance in IT financial management. 2. Application to
Mainframes: How FinOps principles apply to resource and cost management in
mainframes. 3. History of IT Management: The evolution of IT resource
management, with a focus on mainframes. 4. SMF Data and Business Integration:
The importance of aligning IT metrics with business outcomes. 5. Granular
Workload Insights: Analyzing specific workloads to improve decision-making and
cost management. 6. Practical Advice: Strategies for aligning IT resources with
business goals. You’ll leave with a better understanding of how to apply FinOps
in mainframe environments to enhance alignment between IT and business
objectives.
