IBM Capacity Management Analytics
What it is
IBM Capacity Management Analytics helps IT infrastructure managers and data center executives analyze resource use and plan capacity across IBM z Systems and distributed infrastructures. Its Solutions Kit provides a predefined data model, reports, and predictive and prescriptive models for examining IT resources. The product forecasts future capacity requirements and detects CICS transaction anomalies in real time. Reports support drill-through to related reports and prompts for date range, time range, and aggregation interval. The distributed-platform package includes IBM Cognos Analytics, IBM SPSS Modeler Gold, IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio, the Solutions Kit, and the Solutions Installer. IBM Tivoli Decision Support for z/OS is not included with that package and must be purchased separately; the z/OS edition includes it. Deployment is on-premises, with a long-term planning horizon. Installation can use the Solution Installer or manual component setup. The installer supports Linux on System z or x86-64, but requires English on both the installer operating system and client computers. The product is paid, and no plan price is listed.
