Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bridging the Gap - How OpenTelemetry Is Transforming Mainframe Observability
Q: Why has mainframe data traditionally been lacked in its own ecosystem?
The mainframe operates with unique databases, languages, and interfaces making its metrics hard to translate into the distributed or cloud world; siloed data leads to friction, waste, and limited collaboration, so an enterprise-wide approach helps unify telemetry and reduce mean times to detect and resolve.
Cut Mainframe Costs Without Cutting Confidence
Q: How can forecasting help with cost and capacity planning?
Forecasting and what-if scenarios let teams anticipate growth, plan for additional capacity, and test the financial impact of changes before implementing them, reducing guesswork and aligning resource decisions with business needs.
Cut Mainframe Costs Without Cutting Confidence
Q: What should Mainframe teams look at when trying to confidently cut costs?
Understand the drivers of costs by analyzing both online and batch workloads, identify the combinations of workloads, examine subsystems, and use historical data to separate one-off spikes from sustained demand before making changes.
Generative AI and the Mainframe Developer Experience
Q: How can generative AI enhance mainframe operations?
It can provide predictive analysis and emulate the expertise of seasoned mainframe operators.
Generative AI and the Mainframe Developer Experience
Q: What are the benefits of generative AI in code review processes?
AI can help automate and filter code reviews, allowing experts to focus on more complex issues.
