BMC DATA ACCELERATOR Compression

Accelerate I/O processing- optimize your allocated space

IT problem

In order to maximize existing resources, both in storage and CPU, IT managers are squeezing every last drop from existing resources. Some resources are easy to identify, while others are more subtle in nature, but once identified, they can provide substantial savings.

BMC solution

BMC Data Accelerator Compression reduces I/O and maximizes storage resources by compressing and buffering the data allocation process. Savings are realized with faster run times for batch and other online processes and a reduction of the DASD footprint.

Features and benefits

• Provides compression of data resources
• Buffers data read/write processing
• Reduces the amount of IO required to read/write data
• Provides data integrity and faster application backups
• Reduces the storage requirements for data allocation
• Improves performance by being compatible with all data types and SMS and non-SMS data sets

Key differentiators

• Increases read/write time by buffering IO
• Provides data compression is during allocation processing
• Delivers a trial utility to determine compression characteristics
• Reduces costs as there is no requirement for hardware interfaces
• Enhances IBM hardware compression
• Provides a registration dialog to make changes based on needs
