Optimize Mainframe Sort Performance and Efficiency

Reduce CPU Costs and Accelerate Batch Processing on IBM Z

Sorting, copying, and merging data are foundational to IBM Z batch operations—but they are also among the most CPU-intensive processes on the mainframe. As data volumes grow and batch windows shrink, inefficient sort operations drive up MSU consumption, delay downstream jobs, and increase operational risk. At the same time, IT teams face mounting pressure to contain costs, meet SLAs, and support modern analytics and digital initiatives—without disrupting proven workflows.

A High-Performance Approach to Mainframe Sort Optimization

Precisely helps organizations modernize and optimize mainframe sort operations with Syncsort™ MFX and Syncsort™ ZPSaver. Purpose-built for IBM Z, these solutions dramatically improve sort, copy, and merge performance while transparently offloading processing to zIIP specialty processors.

Syncsort™ MFX integrates seamlessly with existing JCL and control statements, requiring no workflow changes. By optimizing execution paths and intelligently leveraging zIIP capacity, it reduces CPU time, accelerates batch cycles, and lowers software charges—delivering immediate, measurable value.
