PM iSeries concepts

Learn about the functions and benefits PM iSeries™ can provide and about important implementation considerations.

PM iSeries uses Collection Services to gather the nonproprietary performance and capacity data from your server and then sends the data to IBM®. This information can include CPU utilization and disk capacity, response time, throughput, application and user usage. When you send your data to IBM, you eliminate the need to store all the trending data yourself. IBM stores the data for you and provides you with a series of reports and graphs that show your server's growth and performance. You can access your reports electronically using a traditional browser.
