Subject: Announcing SYSVIEW Performance Intelligence for SYSVIEW and Cross-Enterprise APM Customers

Broadcom is continually working to improve our software and services to best meet the needs of our customers. We are excited to announce the creation of a new value solution, SYSVIEW Performance Intelligence, which affects you as a Broadcom customer.

Enhancing the Value for Your Broadcom Investment

This new offering strategy will provide significantly added capabilities while simplifying the way we present our solutions to you in the Broadcom product catalog. Some of the advantages you will experience:

• Simplified product portfolio
• Streamlined entitlements and licensing while maintaining your ability to decide what to (and what not to) install
• No changes to your support experience
• Capacity analysis reporting via DCI Reporting
• Monitor Db2 subsystems and Db2 in the z/OS environment with SYSVIEW for Db2
• Proactive application performance analysis with Mainframe Application Tuner (MAT)
• Predictive analytics capabilities with Mainframe Operational Intelligence (MOI)
• Cross-platform monitoring capabilities with APM integration

What Will Be Happening?

We will be combining the following solutions into a new unified solution value SKU:

• SYSVIEW Realtime Performance Mgmt
• SYSVIEW Realtime Performance Mgmt Event Capture Option
• SYSVIEW Realtime Performance Mgmt Datacom Option
• SYSVIEW Realtime Performance Mgmt Option for CICS
• SYSVIEW Realtime Performance Mgmt Option for IMS
• SYSVIEW Realtime Performance Mgmt Option for TCPIP
• SYSVIEW Realtime Performance Mgmt Option for WebSphere MQ
• Cross Enterprise Application Management

We also will be adding additional features and capabilities by adding the following products into this new SKU. While these products will continue to be offered as independent SKUs, if you have entitlements for both these SKUs and SYSVIEW, we will remove the individual SKUs (below) from future contracts as your SYSVIEW Performance Intelligence solution will contain the entitlements you will need:

• SYSVIEW Performance Management Option for Db2 for z/OS
• Mainframe Operational Intelligence (MOI)
• Dynamic Capacity Intelligence (DCI) Reporting (NOTE: only reporting capabilities)
• Mainframe Application Tuner (MAT)

NOTE: While you will have entitlements to all of the above, you will have the ability to select which products you would like to install as they will continue to be packaged separately and your ability to open support tickets for the individual offerings will not change.

When Will This Be Happening?

At your next renewal, we will leverage the new SYSVIEW Performance Intelligence solution to replace your current SYSVIEW and\or Cross-Enterprise APM SKU(s).
