Zetaly Automated Capacity
(Formerly ASC - AutoSoftCapping) - ZAC optimizes the performance of your system while controlling your Workload License Charges. ASC safeguards the right MSUs are in the right place, at the right time and for the right cost. ASC offers savings in license charges and capacity optimization to those
z/OS sites having multiple LPARs on the same CPC, possibly with different peak times, and preferably under a sub-capacity agreement like VWLC or AWLC. Most z/OS customers under sub-capacity agreements use GCL so this means that they suffer group capping issues when a single partition becomes capped, and the effect is that they cannot easily manage who to give the best service to during capping times. It is useful also for those not having a full variable agreement with IBM (and other ISVs offering workload licenses), aiming to reduce production capping times, and to "enlarge"
the capping effect generated by the R4HA mechanism.
