- Program Directory
- Product overview
  HCL Z Asset Optimizer is built on the concept of remote and central mainframe components which work together to produce reports on z/OS® mainframe products and their usage. This section provides you with a high-level overview of the HCL Z Asset Optimizer core architecture.
- Planning for deployment
  Before you deploy HCL Z Asset Optimizer, consider which deployment option is best suited to your environment.
