Most operations require the daily movement of data for server maintenance and load balancing. The challenge is being able to perform those necessary operations with less downtime and while keeping applications available—which is not always an easy task, especially in a complex heterogeneous environment.
By implementing tiered storage or performing routine server maintenance, you can potentially improve your ability to keep your applications running smoothly and efficiently. And with help from data mobility solutions from IBM, you may be able to:
Manage service level agreements (SLAs) more effectively
Balance input/output (I/O) activity with greater ease
Alleviate unit control block (UCB) constraints in IBM z/OS® environments
Reduce complexity and risk by using a simple, unified approach across your enterprise
Move data at both the volume level (all environments) and dataset level (IBM z/OS platform only)
Shift data from low- to high-performing volumes at virtually any time.
