Analytics platforms
An analytics platform is a software program, or group of dedicated systems and software, that is configured to receive, store, and analyze large volumes of operational data.
The following analytics platforms are examples:
- IBM® Db2® Analytics Accelerator for z/OS®, a database application that provides query-based reporting
- IBM Z Operations Analytics, an on-premises product that can receive large volumes of operational data for analysis and can provide insights and recommended actions to the system owners, which are based on expert knowledge about z Systems® and applications
- Platforms such as Elasticsearch, Splunk, and Apache Kafka that can receive and store operational data for analysis. These platforms do not include expert knowledge about z Systems and applications, but users can create or import their own analytics to run against the data.
