Compuware Corporation and CPT Global have announced a partnership geared towards helping mainframe users maximize the performance of their systems as they compete in the digital economy. Specifically, CPT Global will use Compuware Strobe within their service offering as their preferred mainframe application performance monitoring and analysis tool. Through a multi-phased approach, CPT Global works with clients to identify and eliminate inefficiencies through system and application performance tuning. CPT Global’s fee structure is based on a small percentage of the savings identified and actually achieved. Compuware’s Strobe is an application performance and analysis solution for z/OS-based applications. With Strobe, users can pinpoint application performance defects that cause excessive CPU consumption, thus reducing hardware and software costs while increasing customer satisfaction. The CPT Global partnership builds on Compuware’s other industry collaborations, including several product integrations with BMC, which enable intelligent, cost-aware workload distribution on the mainframe.
