Webinar: In-memory optimization stories for your Tailored Fit Pricing journey by Planet Mainframe

WEBINAR ENDED

About This Webinar

The traditional Monthly License Charge (MLC) model, aka the 'Rolling 4 Hour Average' (R4HA), focused on optimization just the peak 4 hours of the month. However, with newer pricing models like Tailored Fit Pricing (TFP) there are more opportunities to optimize your applications and continue lowering your costs.

One of the best solutions for controlling MSU consumption is high-performance in-memory processing. Clients have traditionally used this to maximize their Z investments and drive capacity for new workloads in both batch and online scenarios. To learn more about this technology and how it can drastically improve the performance of vital mainframe applications we will be interviewing one of the industry's leading experts on the subject.
