Velocity Software, Inc. is recognized as a leader in the performance measurement of z/VM and Linux on z. The Velocity Performance Suite consist of a set of tools that enable installations running z/VM to manage Linux and z/VM performance. In addition, many components of server farms can be measured and analyzed. Performance data can be viewed real-time through the use of either 3270 or a browser. The CLOUD Implementation (zPRO) component is designed for full cloud PaaS implementation as well as to extend the capabilities of the z/VM sysprog (system programmer) to the browser world. This feature moves system management to the point-and-click crowd. Archived data and reports can be kept available of long term review and reporting usine zMAP. The zVPS, formally ESALPS, components consist of: zMON (formally ESAMON - real-time display of performance data), zTCP (formally ESATCP - SNMP data collection), zMAP (formally ESAMAP - historical reporting and archiving), zVWS (formally ESAWEB - z/VM based web server), zTUNE (a subscription service), zVIEW (formally SHOWCASE - web based viewing of performance data), zPRO (new to the quality line of Velocity Software Products).

Feature comparison martix including zOPERATOR from Velocity Software

Velocity Software's zOPERATOR is a function that is included with zVPS.

This comparison against Operations Manager from IBM and VM:Operator from Broadcom is intended to help customers understand the differences between the various products.

zOPERATOR provides message management features for z/VM. Console messages can be colored, held, highlighted. Actions can be taken when a certain message text appears on the console.

These functions don't only work on z/VM messages. Any virtual machine that directs its console traffic to OPERATOR will benefit. Including Linux on IBM Z, VSE (either z/VSE or VSEn from 21st Century Software), or z/OS. Messages from other virtual machines don't have to be directed to OPERATOR, any other long running virtual machine can be used as a message consolidator with zOPERATOR running on it.
