BMC MAINVIEW SRM Allocation

Business Challenge

As the volume of data within a data center is growing exponentially, managing it and the hardware that stores it without additional headcount can be a challenge. Decreased performance and availability issues result from problems such as failing to adhere to naming standards, assigning incorrect block sizes, and requesting inappropriate amounts of space, or having inadequate space. Furthermore, isolated storage management solutions that manage only pieces of the storage enterprise are inadequate for today’s complex storage environments.

Business Need

    • Simplify complex mainframe storage environments
    • Ensure application availability
    • Ability to manage entire mainframe storage environment from a single point of control

It intercepts abends, allowing jobs to complete successfully the first time. Users benefit from time management savings that may include a reduction of up to 50% for the DFSMS project timetable and up to 60% for coding requirements. There are fewer processes to manage, and junior staff members can manage the storage environment.

Key Features & Benefits

    • Recovers wasted space
    • Reduces schedule interruptions and reruns
    • Ensures job completion during peak periods, such as year-end processing
