Watson AIOps 2.1: Mainframe power-up
According to a recent report by Intellyx, “The mainframe must be central to an AIOps adoption effort not because it is somehow more important than the rest of the stack, but simply because it is an essential element of most business-critical workflows.”
Given the importance of the mainframe, the data it produces is a critical part of the entire picture of the application.
Watson AIOps 2.1 will now have the ability to ingest IBM Z logs and events and add them to the entire set of data sources available in order to understand what the application profile looks like when there’s not an incident. When real-time streaming data hits the AI Model, Watson AIOPs now has a better understanding of what and where the potential issue might be inclusive of Z. Before, Watson AIOps had visibility into the distributed environment and data, but that left a blind spot for those applications that also utilized IBM Z systems. Now, that blind spot is removed.
