Safeguard your mission critical data by optimizing your storage management procedures

• Monitor, analyze, and automate storage allocation for efficiency and optimization
• Ensure business continuity for production applications and disaster recovery
• Consistently execute volume and data set reorganizations to ensure optimal resource utilization
• Use health checking and customizable reports to regularly analyze storage environments

• Datasheet: BMC AMI Storage Management

BMC AMI Storage FDR

• Full-volume and dataset backups and restores
• Restore datasets in their entirety or selectively by data set name or VSAM cluster
• Print contents of DASD data tracks including physical layout of each track, physical record, and key field
• Create Stand Alone Restore (SAR), an IPL-able program to restore FDR full-volume backups when an operating system is unavailable
• Use the SAR to setup a new data center by restoring backups of volumes prepared at another site

BMC AMI Storage FDRABR

• Automates the execution of FDR full-volume and data set backups and restores
• A powerful suite of flexible and high-performance z/OS DASD backup and recovery tools
• Suite includes capabilities for managing volume and incremental backup, application backup, data archive, migration, and space management
• FDRABR also includes FDREPORT for storage management reporting

BMC AMI Storage FDREPORT

• Draws information from a multitude of sources to produce customized reports on storage-related information
• Contains a set of pre-defined health-check reports that provide a snapshot of critical mainframe storage statistics
• Reports can be tailored to Storage Administrators, Operations Support, Data Analysts, Data Security and Audit Specialists
• Information is viewable in z/OS Batch reports and TSO/ISPF displays

BMC AMI Storage FDRINSTANT

• Creates point-in-time copies of online source volumes and data sets while source volumes are still available for updates
• Rapidly creates data set copies within the same storage subsystem
• Enhances full volume and data set backup, data set copying, and FDRABR incremental backups

BMC AMI Storage COMPAKTOR

Ensures storage volumes are operating at maximum performance and efficiency

• Consolidates free space into one or two contiguous areas to ensure data set allocation is placed on the right disks with correct primary and secondary allocations
• Merges extents from sequential, PDS, PDSE, VSAM, and extended format VSAM data sets and releases all or part of the unused space

BMC AMI Storage FDRREORG

• Fast, flexible, and intelligent VSAM data set reorganization
• Reorganizes VSAM KSDS, alternate index (AIX) files, IAM and IAM AIX files, and PDS files
• Provides data set reorganization for IAM files while data sets are open for updating in CICS regions
• Significantly faster than VSAM IDCAMs reorganization, providing a 20 to 60 percent reduction in wall clock, CPU time, and I/O operations (EXCP) compared to VSAM IDCAMs

BMC AMI Storage Allocation

• Reduces the cost of storage management and improves data availability
• Ensures proper allocation of critical application data sets
• Reports on disk and tape allocation exceptions within the DFSMS infrastructure
• Includes the BMC AMI Storage StopX37/II functionality

BMC AMI Storage StopX37/II

• Operates at the system level to intercept abend conditions and standards violations
• Prevents space abends, NO CATLG2 and JCL errors, and unitialized data set errors
• Reduces primary and secondary space allocations and enhances data set allocation efficiency
• Included with BMC AMI Storage Allocation

BMC AMI Storage Automation

• Diagnoses storage issues and initiates automated recovery procedures
• Maximizes data availability to control costs
• Sends notifications when thresholds and defined storage conditions are reached

BMC AMI Storage Reporting

• Provides views and reports to safeguard the health of storage subsystems
• Uses performance thresholds to trigger automated tasks to optimize the storage environment
• Gathers real-time and historical data on pools, volumes, data sets, and VTOCs for daily storage management tasks
