ABSTRACT
Title:
Advanced Visualisation and Analytics on Mainframe RMF and SMF Data
(Applying Big Data techniques to IT system utilisation data)
Abstract:
Much has been written about applying analytics to Big Data problems and how advanced visualisation techniques allow
businesses to create new value from Big Data. At SAS we are seeing many customer facing organisations make
extensive use of new visualisation techniques to derive significant business value from the mass of data available to
them.
IT also suffers from its own Big Data problem with the 4 Vs (volume, velocity, variety and variability) applying to IT
systems performance and capacity data. We wondered if it would be possible to apply Big Data visualisation and
analytic techniques to mainframe RMF and SMF data. In particular, we wanted to understand if analysis in this way
could deliver value back into IT.
This session will present an overview of the approach we took to analyse and visualise this data, and illustrate some of
the value that could be derived from such analysis. We will also give a live demonstration of our solution.

OBSERVATIONS &
CONCLUSIONS
Loading and Visualisation of the underlying data was the easy bit
Understanding what the data means is critical
Just because you can view things a certain way doesnt mean it makes sense!
Good news here as a capacity planning expert you will still keep your job
Correlation is hard
Drill down from CPU utilisation at point of time to recreate workload/job step view
is difficult
Resolving this needs effort at data preparation / load time
Could drive significant reduction in static report production on mainframe (CPU saving ? )
