Critical Path Software, LLC. (CPS) provides cost reduction and optimization services for mainframe environments. CPS utilizes TurboTune® and TurboTune® SQL, proprietary suites of highly-specialized, one -of-a-kind analytics tools to audit mainframe systems. These non-intrusive tools analyze I/O subsystems and databases in the mainframe environment.

CPS provides a series of reports describing, in detail, the data sets that are underperforming and require modification. These reports enable companies to fully optimize their mainframe file systems. After optimization, companies achieve dramatic performance increases and reductions of MIPS/MSUs, software costs, CPU cycles and recovery of DASD. CPS is proven highly effective to optimize and dramatically reduce costs, especially when companies are facing:

• Latency obstacles
• Company mergers or acquisitions
• Hardware upgrades
• Consolidation of data centers
• Performance problems
• Selecting an outsourcing vendor
