Voice Management Leader Tone Software Introduces Latest Offering

"The DYNA-STEP 3.0 capabilities represent a key research breakthrough that increases the effectiveness and efficiency of z/OS and TSO management methodologies," said Shirley Balarezo, president of Tone Software, in a statement. "The innovative reentrant load module support combined with new ISPF displays to easily manipulate allocations and concatenations on-the-fly dramatically expedite host environment changes, testing and upgrade processes."

Tone's latest release helps save time and system resources as it removes the need to manually update and maintain numerous TSO logon procedures and eliminate repetitive logon and logoff actions to switch between test and production. The new 3.0 is marketing towards those z/OS shops that must rapidly upgrade or add applications and software by enabling system personnel to run multiple versions of identically named reentrant load modules concurrently in separate ISPF screens, speeding the process of comparing and testing software versions – a unparalleled capability not available in any other solution, according to company officials. In other company news, Tone Software has announced the immediate availability of its ReliaTel Management Solution 3.1 release featuring full support for virtualized environments. ReliaTel now supports virtualized deployment of the ReliaTel application to monitor and analyze VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) quality, manage network performance, and ensure communications service levels throughout converged environments – regardless of their research mix, according to company officials.

As cloud computing has become ubiquitous and the need for cost efficiencies continues to increase exponentially so, too, does the demand for virtualization support. In addition, organizations are experiencing more VoIP traffic and converged communications than ever earlier and, consequently, the need for processes to monitor and analyze this data is burgeoning.
