The Future of Mainframe Excellence: BMC AMI October Release Highlights

The mainframe is the unsung hero of innovation. While other technologies may come and go, the mainframe remains a powerhouse, processing millions of transactions in the blink of an eye and keeping the world’s most critical applications running seamlessly. For those in the know, it’s clear: the mainframe isn’t just about critical core applications and systems—it’s about future-proofing your business. In today’s digital landscape, where speed is everything, organizations that harness the full power of their mainframe are the ones that will out-innovate their competitors.?

At BMC, we understand that to stay competitive, you need to not only keep up but stay ahead. That’s why we’re constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with our BMC AMI portfolio. Today, we’re delivering cutting-edge tools to help you innovate faster, automate more, and manage your mainframe with ease.?

Accelerating Innovation on the Mainframe?

One of the biggest highlights? We’ve introduced BMC AMI Assistant—our brand-new, GenAI-based capability. The power of AMI Assistant is transformational. In our roadmap, it will help explain unfamiliar code or the root cause of anomalies, recommend actions and even automate manual tasks using your organization’s critical knowledge. But today, it’s embedded right into BMC AMI DevX Code Insights, helping developers understand code quickly and mitigate risk. This not only speeds up development but ensures everything is running smoothly. Oh, and DevX Code Insights is now available for VS Code! More tools, more power, more speed.?

Optimized Cloud Storage Management?

For those of you managing cloud storage, we’ve got something new for you, too! The latest enhancements to BMC AMI Cloud Data let storage admins automatically expire backups of deleted datasets, reducing overhead and improving efficiency. Plus, the new multi-section delete feature makes batch processing a breeze.?

Better Performance and Security Reporting?

Database admins and system programmers, we haven’t forgotten about you! With our new BMC AMI Data features, IMS? data migrations are now simpler, and resource management across Db2? environments is streamlined with reduced CPU usage and better query performance.?

And when it comes to security, the BMC AMI Command Center for Security has a new feature that automates forensic report generation for specific events—saving you time and boosting your incident response efficiency.?

Innovation and Efficiency, Powered by AI and Cloud?

This October release is just the start of even more exciting innovations to come. From AI-powered features to modernized cloud solutions, we’re committed to helping you not only manage your mainframe but truly innovate with it. We’re your partner in expanding what’s possible.?
