Rocket Performance Essential

Rocket Performance Essential cuts batch processing times and resource consumption without manual performance tuning to help the user's mainframe environment operate more efficiently, with batch I/O that is optimized automatically. Performance Essential helps lower a mainframe system's overhead without modifying applications and improve data center and end-user productivity and frees mainframe performance team to focus on other tasks and extend the life of critical applications.

Batch windows are in the critical path of business continuity, digital transformation, application modernization, and other strategic initiatives. Mainframe batch windows are under pressure from growing data volume, while processing time is constrained by SLAs or by sub-capacity license agreements.

Performance Essential optimizes batch jobs for both VSAM and non-VSAM data sets, to drive resource and time savings. It optimizes buffer allocations automatically and dynamically, enabling users to reduce EXCP counts without the need to analyze data access definitions and application usage patterns manually. This helps reduce processing time without putting additional burden on the mainframe performance team.
