As an inherent feature of z/OS, Workload Manager (WLM) offers workload balancing and user-set prioritization, providing more responsive and flexible resource management.
Certified, experienced professionals from Sirius can help simplify the task of system tuning through workload balancing. Sirius offers services to review your existing WLM policy and provide a comprehensive review and analysis of its performance. Our certified consultants will adjust or redefine the WLM policy so that it meets your specific business goals, maximizing your mainframe’s performance. Additionally, you can take this knowledge and teach your staff how to build the policy.
If necessary, we can also ensure that your migration from OS/390 to the latest z/OS release includes implementation of WLM. In z/OS 1.4 or higher, Workload Manager Goal Mode is required, which simplifies system management and reallocates resources in response to demand. Isn’t optimizing your mainframe’s performance worth properly implementing the investment you’ve already made? Sirius will optimize your WLM policy by adjusting it appropriately and by changing from compatibility mode to service definitions in z/OS.
Sirius services for WLM will help you:
- Define performance goals and create prioritization for z/OS
- Create documentation of your WLM policy
- Achieve dynamic workload balancing
- Achieve maximum throughput and the highest availability for your system
- Eliminate unnecessary system management
