Warsaw/Monaco, 17. October 2025

Carlson Investments SE announces that its portfolio company Z-RAYS has launched a next-generation software platform designed to simplify and modernize mainframe performance monitoring. By consolidating complex data into clear, real-time insights, Z-RAYS enables enterprises to ensure system stability, optimize resources, and improve decision-making.

Mainframes remain the backbone of industries such as finance, insurance, and government, yet monitoring them has often been slow and fragmented. Z-RAYS addresses this challenge by collecting performance data directly from z/OS systems — including SMF, RMF, syslog, and security logs — and streaming it in real time to dashboards and analytics platforms. This provides IT teams with comprehensive visibility across entire environments.

Z-RAYS supports administrators in detecting performance issues across subsystems, isolating root causes, and responding quickly. The platform also offers predictive capabilities, helping organizations plan for resource allocation and long-term system performance. Integration with leading analytics solutions such as Elastic Stack and Dynatrace ensures that data becomes immediately usable for monitoring and reporting.

In partnership with AZ Frame Ltd., a Platinum IBM Partner active in Spain and France, Z-RAYS is expanding its presence across Europe. This collaboration provides enterprises with local expertise, proof-of-concept projects, and licensing support for rapid deployment.

About Z-RAYS
Z-RAYS is a software solution for mainframe monitoring and performance management. The platform transforms raw data into real-time insights, empowering IT operations to maintain availability, improve efficiency, and make data-driven decisions in mission-critical environments.
