JP1/PFM can be used to assess whether the system is providing a sound, functional environment for system users and to identify bottleneck locations.
JP1/PFM analyses operating information and calculates when possible resource shortages and threats to performance may occur. Proactive system administration involves identifying these potential performance issues and allocating additional system resources to specific areas as needed.
Prediction of when a critical state will be reached
JP1/PFM uses correlations between performance data and the underlying system configuration, along with other supporting data, to identify areas with a high likelihood of failure. It then provides information designed to help isolate the root of the problem.
Correlation analysis and its results
JP1/PFM generates long-term operational status reports based on monitoring information and analysis results. These reports are used to evaluate operational trends and plan capacity expansion based on real data, rather than intuition.
Daily and monthly reports show current operating status data together with data from previous periods of stable operation. This form of direct data comparison quickly identifies any changes in system status.

Baseline comparison
When the system is running smoothly, the tendency is to assume that system performance monitoring is not really necessary. Failure, however, can occur at any time. If your system is currently problem-free, then this is the ideal time to start using JP1 and prepare for the time when something does go wrong.
