We are announcing the first release of IBM Z® IntelliMagic Vision for z/OS, a product from IBM’s acquisition of IntelliMagic in February. Founded in 2002, IntelliMagic is a Netherlands-based company specializing in optimizing z/OS system performance using analytics to proactively manage z/OS environments and help mitigate disruptions, reduce costs and support reliability and availability.

“IBM’s acquisition of IntelliMagic marks a transformative leap in enhancing its operations software portfolio, and bringing new benchmark to the realm of IT Operations Analytics for the mainframe,” states Steven Dickens, VP and Practice Leader at Futurum Group. “This strategic move not only underscores IBM’s commitment to leading innovation in mainframe technology but also amplifies its capacity to deliver unparalleled availability intelligence, ensuring peak performance and reliability for some of the world’s most demanding workloads.”

IntelliMagic solutions are designed to help users optimize IBM Z infrastructure with a modern and intuitive experience that is being used by many existing clients.
