Velocity Software
Velocity Software was founded in 1988 to create the premier performance products for the z/VM platform. z/VM system performance was Velocity Software's singular commitment for a dozen years. With the introduction of Linux running in a z/VM environment and the proliferation of internet and networking activity, Velocity Software's view of performance measurement and management has expanded to include Linux and the network.
When "private cloud" became a business requirement, Velocity Software created zPRO for full z/VM based private cloud management without using a guest Linux server and SMAPI as other solutions have attempted. Recently, Velocity Software has enhanced its z/VSE monitor and added z/OS data collection to the portfolio, so Velocity Software offers full enterprise performance management without the overhead.

zOSMON
Features of zOSMON include:
- Completely offloads all processing from the expensive z/OS MIPS, leaving a footprint of almost zero resource consumption
- The incremental cost of processing each LPAR is expected to be much less than 1% of a processor
- zVPS is written in low-level languages to run extremely efficiently on the IBM Z platform
- zOSMON is designed to support an unlimited number of LPARs and CECs within one zVPS subsystem
- One enterprise view for operations, capacity planning, performance management and for chargeback
- zOSMON provides real time performance monitoring with a one-minute interval—with negligible performance impact or resource consumption
zPRO
zPRO Focuses focuses on these cornerstones:
- Providing an on-prem cloud on z/VM facility
- Simplifying access and skills requirement for managing z/VM
- Reducing z/VM management tasks by safely empowering end users
- zPRO greatly simplifies the provisioning and management of Linux servers on IBM Z
- Enables installations running the IBM z/VM platform to create their own private Platform as a Service environment
zVPS Velocity Software's Performance Suite
The complete performance package for Linux, TCP/IP, z/VM and z/VSE. zVPS contains the following components: zMON, zWRITE, zMAP, zTCP, zVWS, zVIEW, zALERT and zOPERATOR. Highlights include: capacity planning, operations support, performance analysis and chargeback. zVPS collects and analyzes data from z/VM, your Linux servers, network, z/VSE and z/OS systems in a consistent and integrated format. Data is continually collected, presented in real time, and stored in a single performance database. Automatic analysis triggers alerts when exceptions occur. Reports are generated for long-term trend analysis and capacity planning—and all of this information is accessible via your web browser or a CMS terminal.
