When a mission-critical system slows down or, worse, goes offline, the pressure is on. IT teams scramble, business operations stall, and the ripple effects can be costly. But what if you didn’t have to worry about that? By planning for unexpected outages and ensuring fast recovery and restart options, you can keep your business running smoothly no matter what happens.
Z Mainframe Availability and Resiliency Service (ZMARS), Triton Consulting’s newly launched service, ensures your Db2 for z/OS environment stays resilient, recovers fast, and performs at its best. It begins with a thorough, customer-specific technical examination to uncover potential vulnerabilities in your Db2 for z/OS environment. By focusing on your unique infrastructure and requirements, we ensure your systems are optimised for resilience and availability.
“This service has been several years in the planning, in market research and in development. I’m therefore delighted to announce its launch, appropriately at a time when DORA is coming into force to tighten up the resilience requirements for financial institutions. Our goal is to provide customised solutions that improve system performance, speed up recovery times, and make your system more robust. Ultimately, we want to ensure your Db2 for z/OS system functions as effectively and reliably as possible for your business.” Gareth Copplestone-Jones, Head of Infrastructure Services, Triton Consulting.
The ZMARS service consists of multiple modules, giving you the flexibility to choose which ones to include or prioritise based on your specific needs. It is up to you to decide whether you want to focus on system recovery, performance enhancements, software maintenance or another area, or decide to choose a full study with all the modules.
John Campbell, retired IBM Distinguished Engineer and former leader of the IBM Db2 for z/OS SWAT team will lead the Triton ZMARS studies. John has worked with Db2 for z/OS for over 40 years and has extensive experience in systems, databases, and application design. Each ZMARS study will be customised for you, based on the modules you select.
“I am delighted that we have developed this much needed service and now making it available to our clients. The main objective is to help our clients run their Db2 for z/OS system more safely. The study team will take a 360-degree view looking for opportunities for improvement in terms of the continuous service availability position and system performance. We will look to make defensive recommendations to improve the continuous availability position, deliver robust system performance improvements, and make it easier to manage and control the system”, John Campbell, Senior Consultant, Triton Consulting.
