Dino Explorer Suite

Dino Explorer Suite analyses and support decision making in complex IBM Mainframe environments running the zOS operating system.

The objective of Dino Explorer Suite is to build a complete mainframe SMF log database environment for Governance and Analytics.

The Dino Explorer Suite enables you to collect SMF logs in real-time, in a fully automated, user-friendly, and highly efficient way, thus incurring cost reductions. Fully based on the distributed system platform (could be z/Linux), the solution uses its own extractors and messaging system in a non-intrusive way to collecting and consolidating all necessary mainframe log records.

1. Collect mainframe events in real time
2. Consolidate events into Dino database
3. Correlate any mainframe events in a business oriented view
4. Years of historical data online, available for trend and predictive analysis

Mainframe SMF records are captured in real-time, using no mainframe I/O and minimal CPU time, then transported to a relational database (Microsoft SQL Server) for analysis and historical storage. The data is updated, building a powerful source for strategic information on your z/OS systems.
