Improve your ability to manage your IBM® z/OS® storage environment with BMC AMI Storage solutions. This set of solutions help you simplify your mainframe storage subsystems; improve the performance of your virtual storage access method (VSAM) applications; and can even help you migrate from one storage subsystem to another from the same or a different vendor.

High-performance storage management tools

  • Automation: Resolve storage issues before they can cause problems with integrated event management features.
  • Allocation: Ensure that jobs complete successfully the first time they are run and reduce the storage needed for data allocations.
  • Reporting: Monitor and analyze storage statistics to optimize your infrastructure, avoid purchasing additional resources, safeguard subsystem health, and ensure critical applications complete successfully.
  • Performance: Maximize capacity, reduce VSAM run time, improve IBM® CICS® and batch performance, and reduce overall CPU consumption.
  • Storage Management: Get high performance z/OS direct-access storage device (DASD) management, backup, recovery, and archiving.
  • Migration: Maximize performance and resource utilization while minimizing administrative effort and data disruptions with non-disruptive disk and tape migrations.

Find and fix problems with a single view and take control of your mainframe storage environment.

Mainframe professional

See and control your mainframe storage environments with BMC AMI Storage, which gives you a single point of control to simplify complex storage subsystems and ensure application availability.

  • Improved performance and availability through intelligent automation and remediation driven by artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML)-powered analytics for faster problem resolution
  • Early problem identification using analytics to predict and respond to problems before they negatively affect service
  • Actionable insight into your data and systems, including intelligent automation and remediation capabilities

Configure and manage all BMC AMI Storage products centrally

Young Mainframe Professional

BMC AMI Storage is intuitive to use, configure, and manage. A modular structure built on a centralized architecture allows you to easily snap in components and increase the solution’s benefits. Manage your mainframe ecosystem holistically to ensure the highest possible availability and performance.

  • Simplified systems management: Leverage a solution that’s easy to implement and maintain with an intuitive user experience and embedded expertise—no specialist required
  • Single view and control: Collect current and historical data from multiple sources into a single view to control all resources and metrics, identify the root cause of issues, and speed problem resolution
  • Consistent backup and recovery: Get reliable backups and recoveries—the foundations of data availability
  • Operational collaboration: Access robust and flexible reporting of critical operations
  • Dynamic reorganization: Optimize storage environment performance with intelligent mainframe storage reorganization and compression
Within z/OS environments, mainframe storage subsystems are highly fluid and critical to operations. BMC AMI Storage provides visibility into capacity, utilization, and performance to ensure high availability for production systems.
