BMC AMI Storage Performance tools maximize data storage capacity, reduce VSAM run time, improve IBM® CICS® and batch performance, and reduce CPU consumption.
- Optimize the performance, responsiveness, and scalability of existing systems and investments
- Deliver dramatic improvement in responsiveness, while reducing I/O, storage, and CPU usage
- Provide the intelligence needed to boost the performance and utilization of existing systems and resources, while reducing administrative overhead
- Deliver the insights and controls needed to minimize errors, disruption, risk, and waste
VSAM Performance Improvement with BMC AMI Storage IAM
- Reliable, high-performance alternative to a VSAM Key-Sequenced Data Set (KSDS), a KSDS with Alternate Indexes, an Entry-Sequenced Data Set (ESDS), and a Relative Record Data Set (RRDS)
- Outperforms VSAM by reducing the number of I/O operations resulting in reduced CPU time, elapsed time, and response time
- Lowers costs by exploiting 64-bit storage for buffering and indexing, resulting in significant CPU time reduction and improved elapsed time
High availability with BMC AMI Storage IAM/PLEX
- Allows IAM data sets to be shared by multiple CICS regions and batch programs across multiple LPARs in a parallel sysplex environment
- Removes the single point of failure in many CICS environments
- Automatically detects unplanned outages and provides automated IAM/PLEX restart and recovery
- Provides a command for planned outages to allow LPARs to be brought down cleanly for maintenance purposes
