Looking for interested customers and business partners to participate in IBM SmartCloud Analytics - Log Analysis for z/OS Early Access and Beta Program

In March 2014, IBM launched its new IBM SmartCloud Analytics - Log Analysis z/OS Insight Pack offerings: the first solution in the market to provide log analytics capabilities for z/OS.
 

As we continue to develop this ground-breaking solution, we would like to collaborate with interested customers and business partners in our Early Access and Beta Program. This program originally started in December 2013. It will now be extended to cover new capabilities we plan to deliver in upcoming releases. Design reviews and demos will start in April, and Beta code will be made available soon for download and installation.
 

This program is a great way for participants to assess the value of new product enhancements as they are being developed and tested, and to interact directly with the development team.  As a program participant, you can provide valuable feedback to influence the capability and value of the next release of our log analytics solution for z/OS.  Your participation allows you to help shape the product capabilities as they are being developed to better match your company's needs.  The program is also a great way for you to establish a long-term relationship with the development team.
 

Based on customer requirements and feedback, we will focus the program content for this quarter on:
* CICS domain insights
* Support for WebSphere Application Server for z/OS High-Performance Extensible Logging
* Support for JES3
* Improved configuration capabilities
as well as serviceability enhancements.
 

If you have any questions or are interested in participating in this program, please contact Volkmar Burke Siegemund (vbsiegem@us.ibm.com).
