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.

Your organization’s mainframe storage subsystems house your most critical data and represent a significant strategic investment.

Executive: Reactive isn’t good enough

BMC AMI Storage provides powerful, intelligent automation to proactively find and fix issues before they occur. No need to have your experienced personnel write time-consuming code because BMC AMI Storage automation is rules-based and codeless, making it easier to set up and manage. Do more with less—efficiently and accurately.
