Mainframe Performance OptimizationMore power from your mainframe, using your current IT assets
THE MAINFRAME
NEW CHALLENGES
• It is the transaction processing workhorse for the world’s biggest banks, insurers and financial services companies.
• It was designed to execute their high-intensity transaction processing workloads very efficiently.
• Other platforms are not optimized for these workloads.
Your mainframe systems are being asked to do more every year:• Increased workloads from year-over-year business growth
• Mobile batch and web transaction loads constantly increasing
• Mergers increasing workloads
• Upgrade required more often
• IT costs increasing

TYPICAL PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT SOLUTIONS
A BETTER SOLUTION
Typical solutions are either expensive, or risky, or both, and often have limited benefits:
You need a solution that focuses on reduction of CPU usage, and improved efficiency:
• Optimize applications using high-performance in-memory technology
That solution is to optimize applications using high-performance in-memory technology
Solution Complexity / Risk Cost / ROI Success Rate
Mainframe Upgrade Medium/Medium High/Low Sometimes
Offload Processing High/High High/Medium Limited
Platform Migration High/High High/LowLimited, sometimes
disastrous
Application Re-architecture, Optimization High/High High/Medium Sometimes

Mainframe Performance Optimization
APPLICATION OPTIMIZATION
HIGH-PERFORMANCE IN-MEMORY TECHNOLOGY
Why high-performance in-memory technology?• Accelerates access to data used most often
• Accelerates application processing
• Improves transaction throughput capacity
• Reduces mainframe resource usage, MSU & CPU
• Allows application performance (throughput rate) to increase dramatically
It reduces the code path for the most often accessed RO data.
How it works:• Copy some RO data into memory
• Access it using an API
• White path: typical buffered DBMS code path (typ. 10,000 to 100,000 machine cycles)
• Green path: high-performance in-memory code path (typ. 400 machine cycles)

Mainframe Performance Optimization
Results: Reduced CPU Usage• Reduced application CPU usage—CPU that can be dedicated to
increased/new workloads
• Improved application performance from 10–50% or more
• Lowered system upgrade frequency

SUMMARY
Organizations deploying this solution typically experience the following benefits:
• Immediate application performance improvement
• Either reduced costs, or freed-up CPU that can be used for increased/new workloads
• A general improvement in system performance and/or database performance.
