IBM Z Anomaly Analytics

Proactively identify operational issues and avoid costly incidents by detecting anomalies in both log and metric data

Proactively identify operational issues in your enterprise environment

IBM Z Anomaly Analytics uses historical IBM Z log and metric data to build a model of normal operational behavior. Real-time data is then scored against the model to detect anomalous behavior. A correlation algorithm then groups and analyzes anomalous events to proactively alert operation teams of emerging problems. 

Your essential services and applications must always be available in today’s digital environment. For enterprises with hybrid applications, including IBM Z, detecting and determining the root cause of hybrid application issues has become more complex with rising costs, skill shortage and changing user patterns.

Features for Z Anomaly Analytics
Proactive incident detection

Enhances operational efficiency by providing real-time notifications of correlated and grouped anomalous behavior, enabling IT teams to respond swiftly and proactively.

Enhanced detection accuracy

Improves detection accuracy by building comprehensive models of regular operations across multiple subsystems, allowing for precise identification of deviations from the norm.

Data-driven decision-making

Empowers data-driven decision-making by providing detailed visualizations of anomalous activity within a topological context, making it easier to interpret complex data and diagnose issues.

Real-time data analysis

The system helps ensure timely, informed decisions based on the most current and actionable insights.
