If you have heating or air conditioning in your home, you may be familiar with the “efficiency rating” of the unit. This refers to the percentage of generated energy (heating or cooling) that goes into your home rather than out the window. You pay for 100% of the gas or electricity that runs these units; it would be nice if you received as much as possible of the energy you’re paying for. The mainframe is no different. Here you are charged based on the peak 4HRA for the month. But, like your furnace, the 4HRA is not the total resources that your applications receive; it is the total resources that your machine(s) consume. A typical monthly utility bill might only be $100 or so but mainframe resources that go “out the window” may represent thousands of dollars in MLC charges. Join us in this open session as we discuss utilization, throughput, RNI, and overall efficiency. Stop sending your money out the window.-John Baker-MVS Solutions
