Vision Director v7 allows you to optimize your System i without introducing additional downtime. A significant factor effecting application performance is the time it takes to read and update data. Files that have been re-organized are faster to read and duplicate indexes (access paths) that have been removed improve data update times. An overall disk utilization of 75% or below provides the best system performance. In short, keeping disk storage organized can significantly improve application performance.
IBM's i5/OS contains a lot of information internally about objects, however, it is not always easy to find. For example, if you wish to view the size of a library you must first display the library to a spool file (report file), look at the last page of the report to see the size in bytes and then convert this to megabytes or gigabytes. Object cross referencing solves these kinds of problems because it gives immediate access to all important object information and allows the System i operator to quickly analyze how disk is being used. Vision Director's advanced cross-referencing builds a compact database of object information over a period of time which aids in analyzing and optimizing your system.
Many housekeeping tasks which would otherwise require users and jobs to be removed from the system can now be performed during the normal business day. Vision Director v7 achieves this by intelligently managing locks and resources is such a way that business users and jobs are not impacted. To many companies this means many hours of extra uptime each week in addition to improved application performance.
With Vision Director you stay in control with an automated solution to help you gather extensive
information about your i5/OS environment, evaluate recommendations for improvement and take
action on your behalf. Vision Director allows you to maximize the ROI of your existing System i.
