Hi Alan,
Given that you already have a staff it seems like you might want to consider
investing in SAS http://www.sas.com
on a PC with MXG http://www.mxg.com and let them produce the charts in house
and give them a powerful toolbox to do analysis of DASD and other
performance metrics in addition to just creating charts.
Best Regards,
Sam Knutson, GEICO

Lance and Sam (for an earlier reply)
For our own purposes we have two people doing Performance Management and
two doing Capacity Planning (they all work closely together and are
overworked). We also happen to be in the midst of a general performance
study being done by a respected consultant. In the analysis the
consultant makes a statement indicating our dasd farm in performing
poorly. We will be getting details later on but this statement made us
wonder if spending some money to get regular and accurate charts might be
helpful.
We may not take this route at all but it doesn't hurt to get some
references early in the process.
Thanks to both of you (and any others that may respond later)
Alan
