Data Facility Product (DFSMSdfp™) is the heart of the storage management subsystem; it provides the logical and physical input and output for z/OS storage, it keeps track of all data and programs managed within z/OS, and it provides data access both for native z/OS applications and other platforms such as AIX/UNIX, the Windows family, AS/400, or OS/2.

| Data management
DFSMSdfp helps you store and catalog information on DASD, optical, and tape resources so that it can be quickly identified and retrieved from the system. You can use the Catalog Search Interface, now part of DFSMSdfp, to access the catalog.
