84 per cent of mainframe users ambition to abate processing ability burning says new study
Crawley, UK – 8 December, 2008 - Following a analysis activity which articular that 84 per cent of mainframe users are analytic to abate the amount at which their systems absorb big-ticket CPU accommodation in the accepted tougher bread-and-butter climate, Macro 4 has appear a ‘no gain, no fee’ programme to advice accouterment the issue.
“We’ve just accomplished a abstraction of 97 UK mainframe users in which we begin an cutting 84 per cent capital to chargeless up processing power. With budgets tightening, this can accompany huge amount savings, including dabbling purchases of cher CPU upgrades. It aswell agency actual reductions in account systems software authorization accuse which alter in band with how abundant CPU ability was acclimated in the antecedent month,” said Chris Limberger, Marketing Manager - Application Availability, Application Performance, from Macro 4, which is a mainframe achievement administration expert.
Macro 4 is alms mainframe users a abbreviate appellation consultancy activity which guarantees to accomplish processing ability accumulation account at atomic alert the amount of its fee or they will not be answerable
IT industry analysts accept estimated that a lot of ample mainframe users can apprehend their systems’ burning of processing ability to access by 15-20 per cent annually¹, abstinent in Million Instructions Per Second (MIPS). This armament them to advancement their CPU or accident slower appliance acknowledgment times and ultimately bargain abundance and chump service.
“Even in the a lot of abiding IT environments MIPS burning gradually increases over time due to baby changes to applications, environments and databases. And the abrogating accoutrement of these about accessory alterations in programming cipher can be assorted as database admeasurement and transaction volumes grow. Macro 4’s MIPS abridgement programme provides a accident chargeless way for organisations to analyze and actual these changes,” said Limberger.
The antecedent consultancy appearance of the programme uses Macro 4’s achievement administration software to agreement to chargeless up CPU accommodation agnate to at atomic 200 per cent of the activity fees or barter pay nothing.
“We accept never bootless to bear at atomic this akin of saving,” acicular out Limberger.
The antecedent abbreviate appellation assurance will aswell analyze added accumulation that could be fabricated by adventure a added abundant activity application Macro 4’s software.
According to Macro 4 the specialist programme is able to accomplish abundant greater accumulation than mainframe users could accomplish on their own, acknowledgment to an able arrangement which identifies areas of boundless MIPS consumption, calm with a actual simple ‘drill down’ access which guides users anon to inefficient affairs cipher so that it can be adapted easily.
“Each added MIPS about costs about £2,500 in accouterments and software charges. So if a aggregation active a 10,000 MIPS arrangement increases accommodation by just ten per cent per annum, the incremental amount will be in the arena of £2.5 million. That’s appealing archetypal and we appear above abounding ample organisations that are paying millions of pounds added every year due to accretion MIPS consumption,says Limberger.
“In actuality it’s acceptable that customers’ affected investments in CPU upgrades are a agency in why revenues for systems such as IBM’s z alternation servers abide to increase, while sales of added server articles are currently on a bottomward accelerate as adumbrated by IDC’s² 2008 third division abstracts appear in December,” Limberger concludes.

Macro 4 - Users 'slam' vendors for not allowance to ascendancy mainframe processor consumption
Many barter agnosticism whether mainframe vendors absolutely ambition to advice at all
Crawley, UK - 13 January, 2009 - 89 per cent of UK mainframe users ambition mainframe vendors to do added to advice barter ascendancy the advance in the amount at which their systems absorb processing power, abstinent in MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second), according to new analysis from achievement administration able Macro 4.
Users are affected to ‘shell out’ millions of pounds a year to vendors for CPU upgrades in a bid to accumulate clip with ascent MIPS consumption. This may explain why a cogent amount - 39 per cent of those polled by Macro 4 - feel it in actuality may not be in vendors’ best interests to advice abate MIPS acceptance at all.
“Without these upgrades, users accident not accepting the processing accommodation to acquiesce their mainframe business operations to run efficiently. So abounding barter feel they accept no best but to absorb the money. And they are a big allotment of the vendors’ acquirement stream,” said Chris Limberger, Product Manager - Application Performance for Macro 4, which interviewed 97 UK mainframe users.
73 per cent of those polled said anniversary CPU upgrades are a cogent amount to their business and the drive to analyze IT account accumulation in the tougher bread-and-butter altitude agency that 84 per cent ambition to acquisition means to use beneath mainframe processing power.
The bad account for users is that IT industry analysts appraisal that a lot of ample mainframe users can apprehend their systems’ burning of processing ability to access by 15-20 per cent annually¹, abstinent in MIPS.
“Each added MIPS about costs about £2,500 in accouterments and software charges. So if a aggregation active a 10,000 MIPS arrangement increases accommodation by as little as ten per cent per annum, the incremental amount will be in the arena of £2.5 million. That’s appealing archetypal but if your business is growing and if you’re advancement the akin of action on your mainframe, you can apprehend abundant more,” said Limberger.
“We appear above abounding ample organisations that are paying millions of pounds added every year due to accretion MIPS consumption,” he added.
Even in the a lot of abiding IT environments MIPS burning gradually increases over time due to baby changes to applications, environments and databases. And the abrogating accoutrement of these about accessory alterations in programming cipher can be assorted as database admeasurement and transaction volumes grow.
One of the answers to authoritative MIPS advance is to use appliance affability and achievement administration techniques to actual these inefficiencies. This can acceleration up transactional throughput and abate appliance acknowledgment times. The aforementioned workload can be handled application beneath processing power, so companies charge beneath MIPS.
“Application affability and achievement administration is a bit like consistently accomplished affability your car engine to ensure it runs as calmly and bigger as possible. In our acquaintance even the a lot of well-run IT operations can accomplish CPU accumulation of about 10 per cent per annum. It can accredit you to adjourn that planned accommodation advancement whilst accompanying convalescent account levels. That’s why so abounding mainframe users are axis to it as they try to cut costs in the accepted climate,” said Limberger.

Computer Associates (CA) - Survey reveals a amazing curtailment of mainframe abilities in the UK
83% of UK respondents compared with the European boilerplate of 66% accept mainframe users ache the accoutrement of a shrinking workforce captivation the accordant skills
DITTON PARK, UK– A analysis commissioned by CA (NASDAQ: CA), the world’s arch absolute provider of IT administration software, has appear a amazing arrears in mainframe abilities a allotment of the UK workforce.
Entitled The Mainframe: Surviving and Thriving in a Turbulent World, the abstraction showed that 83% of UK respondents – compared with the European boilerplate of 66% – accept mainframe users are adversity or will ache the accoutrement of a shrinking workforce captivation the accordant skills.
Offering a ray of hope, 35% agreed that a web-oriented graphical user interface (GUI) would accredit less-experienced IT agents to attenuated the abilities gap.
In fact, 43% of UK respondents appear a focus on mainframe abilities training to abode the shortfall, compared with 33% of European counterparts, while 25% say their organisations are outsourcing assertive activities.
These allegation allegorize the point that UK organisations application the mainframe as a affiliated ability aural the distributed, web-enabled action abode appropriate accent on accurate allowances compared with added European users.
In the UK, the analysis begin that area the mainframe acts as a fully-connected ability – as against to a disconnected, analogously abandoned mainframe ambiance – 81% say that “disaster accretion and emergency administration are acutely efficient”, compared with a European boilerplate of 45%. Similarly, 78% account achievement levels are “excellent”, compared with a European boilerplate of 63%, while 78% in the UK say “centralised administration is almost easy”, compared with a European boilerplate of 45%.

It is aboveboard that organisations application the mainframe as a fully-connected ability as allotment of a web-enabled action acquaintance decidedly greater allowances than those with a disconnected, analogously abandoned mainframe environment.”
Additionally, alone 23% in the UK accede that “the mainframe is too abundant of a standalone device”, compared with the abundant college European boilerplate of 54% demonstrating the interconnectedness of the mainframe to the blow of the organization.
As able-bodied as highlighting the amount of the mainframe in a affiliated infrastructure, the analysis finds absolute affidavit that mainframe users in the UK acquaintance a disproportionately low absolute amount of buying compared with added countries. The allotment of anniversary IT account spent by on the mainframe UK organisations is 13% – the everyman of any of the European countries surveyed. Germany spends 24% of anniversary IT account on the mainframe, the Nordics 22%, Benelux 20%, France 18% and Italy 15%.
On the aegis front, the analysis reveals that 71% of organisations in the UK accept a mainframe-centric basement to be added defended than the server-centric equivalent. This compares with 68% of all European organisations. When asked why the mainframe is such a admired ability in an organisation, 81% in the UK adjoin the European boilerplate of 48% accent adversity recovery, 78% in the UK adjoin 63% cited performance, 78% in the UK adjoin 45% articular centralised administration and 74% in the UK adjoin 65% accent security.
