BMC Software announced the acquisition of I/O Concepts with its industry-leading ioEnterprise line of mainframe console security, automation and consolidation solutions.
The acquisition expands BMC’s MainView monitoring and automation suite and reflects the company’s commitment to best-in-class solutions for managing any IBM System z console environment.
The ioEnterprise solution will be introduced as BMC MainView Console Management for zEnterprise. The solution enables customers to efficiently manage complex and geographically dispersed operations from a consolidated and secured point of control.
BMC MainView Console Management for zEnterprise allows customers to realize a strong return on investment in the form of increased productivity, reduced staffing requirements and enhanced systems availability. Further, customers benefit from remote access and control while retaining full security and audit coverage.
“This strategic investment enhances BMC solutions for datacenter management and automation by adding a best-in-class product that complements and extends our industry-leading monitoring and automation suite,” said Bill Miller, President, Mainframe Service Management, BMC Software.
“The acquisition of I/O Concepts reinforces BMC’s commitment to mainframe cost optimization, reduced risks and improved productivity. It provides customers with the benefits of scaling operations as they continue to modernize and automate their processes to improve business efficiencies.”
