IBM® Security zSecure™ Manager for Resource Access Control Facility (RACF®) z/VM® improves administration efficiency and auditing compliance. It automates functions to help you optimize IT resources, mitigate complexity, improve security and quality of service, demonstrates regulatory compliance and reduces errors and costs in virtual machine environments.
