More and more, complex datasets need to be moved within shorter timeframes and while maintaining business continuity. That’s why it is important to have an online strategy for moving datasets during any volume moves or consolidations in the mainframe environment.
Now you can take advantage of data mobility solutions from IBM that are easy to use and manage and allow you to migrate datasets across major hardware vendors and between different disk capacities. Plus, you can gain the ability to:
Convert from smaller to larger volumes (MOD3s to MOD9s, or virtually any size) to improve performance
Reclaim unit control blocks (UCBs) to help extend system resources
Group datasets for easier management of large migrations
Improve storage utilization by balancing workloads and implementing tiered storage
Lower your total cost of ownership (TCO)
Operate in virtually any IBM z/OS® environment
Use large-capacity volumes on high-performance storage subsystems.
