Ironstream™ software
Integrate IBM Z® mainframe and IBM i® systems into IT security, analytics, and services management platforms – giving you enterprise-wide observability for faster resolutions and proactive operations management.
Don’t let IBM i or IBM Z be your operations blind spot
In the case of operations management, analytics, or security event management – ignorance is not bliss, especially when it comes to IBM i or IBM Z systems.
The trouble is monitoring these systems for critical alerts is manual or only done AFTER something has happened. The result? Longer time to remediate issues that impact your bottom line, serviceability and credibility.
Precisely’s Ironstream™ software makes it easy and cost-effective to integrate machine data from traditional IBM systems into today’s IT operations analytics, monitoring, and security event platforms. Ironstream™ software gives you:
- More complete visibility into enterprise-wide security alerts and risks for all systems.
- Comprehensive observability for IBM i and IBM Z that enables improved IT service delivery and application performance.
- Helps teams connect IBM i or IBM Z mainframe to platforms with no expertise required.
- Flexibility to move targets, Ironstream™ software’s unified integration layer allows you to easily add targets or migrate tools as operational needs change.

“For large IBM Z sites there is an increasing importance on having global observability of our processors. Precisely’s Ironstream is a key conduit to allow system data and/or logs to be passed from various IBM Z processors and integrated together to have a ‘one pane’ visual of our global estate. This helps us optimize our current investments while fully harnessing the capabilities of the IBM Z platform, delivering enhanced agility and performance.”

Get the right data, at the right time, in the tools you use everyday
You live in a multi-platform world – one for operations, another for management, and don’t forget your security platform. While all these platforms serve different purposes for your organization, they all rely on the same data. Developing and maintaining your own tools and APIs to access, transform, and ingest IBM machine data into your ever-growing and evolving set of IT operations platforms is rarely a viable or sustainable strategy.
Ironstream™ software goes where you need it. If you move from one IT security, operations analytics or event management platform to another – not a problem – take all your IBM i or IBM Z mainframe data with you. The software captures, transforms and delivers the full range of IBM log data, system event, and security information into all the leading security, analytics and operations management platforms.
Ironstream for ServiceNow®
You rely upon ServiceNow for powerful and inclusive services and operations management. Its unified platform replaces disconnected tools and empowers your IT teams to work smarter and more effectively to keep your business running.
Ironstream™ software fully integrates IBM Z mainframe and IBM i systems into ServiceNow so you can realize the full potential of the platform.
The software supports IT Operations Management visibility to auto-populate an accurate and service-aware CMDB, providing a single source of truth. Ironstream™ software also integrates with ServiceNow Event Management so you can reduce event noise and resolve service issues fast.
Ironstream for Splunk®
Splunk’s powerful analytics and dashboards enable your business to manage IT operations, security, regulatory compliance, and more. However, Splunk does not natively support mainframe and IBM i systems, resulting in an unacceptable level of security and operational exposure.
Ironstream™ software’s tight, out-of-the-box integration means seamless and secure delivery of event and security log data from these traditional IBM systems to Splunk in real time. Merge this information with machine data from across your infrastructure for unprecedented insights. No IBM Z mainframe or IBM i systems or coding expertise is required, making implementation fast and worry-free.
Ironstream™ software brings the full range of critical mainframe and IBM i machine data sources into Splunk to support your strategic enterprise-wide initiatives.
Comprehensive system support
