What is OPS/MVS Event Management & Automation?

OPS/MVS Event Management & Automation is Broadcom's mainframe automation product, sitting alongside SYSVIEW inside the WatchTower Platform observability line. Where SYSVIEW watches performance, OPS/MVS acts on events: it manages, monitors and automates critical mainframe resources and tasks so routine operational work happens without an operator driving it.

The framing is a shift from reactive to proactive automation management. Practical benefits centre on system availability, cost reduction through automating routine tasks, central management of enterprise system resources, and surfacing data in context to cut mean time to resolution. Alert Central is a more recent addition for consolidating alerts. As with SYSVIEW, buyers should note the heritage: this was CA OPS/MVS before Broadcom acquired CA Technologies, and most training material still carries the CA name. Broadcom does not publish pricing.
