 A set of highly automated IBM i management and optimization tools can reduce the strain on the IT department, while ensuring timely performance of vital management and optimization tasks. But before you can set out to evaluate the tools available to undertake this automation, you must first have a clear understanding of what needs to be done. This white paper examines some of the areas that you need to address in order to ensure healthy IBM i operations that deliver the highest possible performance.
 IBM i provides a wealth of data to help analyze performance and storage usage. This information can be employed to liberate wasted space and tune the system. The problem is that, using IBM i administration tools alone, much of this information is cumbersome to access and, in many cases, its existence is far from obvious. Thus, putting the information to full advantage requires third-party system management tools. This executive overview explores the requirements for these tools and reviews one of Vision Solutions’ offerings in this area, Vision Director™.
