System z Software Support

Keep Your OS Supported

If you’re short-staffed for systems programmers, we have built a service specifically intended to help you get your zSeries operating system software up-to-date so that you can continue to receive support from the manufacturer. Certainly, not everyone will want to be truly “current” with their OS and will prefer to be within 6 to twelve months of being current. Nonetheless, we can help you get there so as to stay supported and maximize the efficiency of your OS and what it should be doing for you.

Hardware Performance Analysis

Our hardware performance analysis includes one Health Check completed every six months with a Trends Analysis included after the second or subsequent Health Checks. A Health Check is an analysis of your zSeries processor, memory and disk during peak processing periods. The Health Check includes a computer-generated report along with a detailed review of the data provided by Top Gun Technology.
