Data Management

Manage your storage utilization efficiently to avoid costly excess

Rocket Mainstar solutions give you the tools to discover where and how many resources may be being wasted, so you can quickly correct such issues.

Optimize your storage resources

Rocket Mainstar products provide effective tools that determine where, how, and how many resources are being wasted, and then lets you know how you can correct these issues. Inefficient storage utilization is costly, but with Mainstar products, you can identify ways to optimize storage resources and save money at the same time.

Constant monitoring

Complex environments such as IBM DFSMShsm require constant monitoring and tuning. Data sets that are constantly being created, migrated, and recalled need to be examined to ensure they are in the correct DFSMS class definitions and that valuable resources are not being wasted. Auditing is the key to identifying areas of waste, and by taking advantage of non-disruptive auditing in Rocket Mainstar products, you can save resources and avoid failures before they happen.

Improve backup and recovery processes

Mainstar products identify data sets that have been backed up multiple times, and then eliminate those redundant backups. This reduces the overall amount of data being backed up, making backups and recoveries more efficient and less costly.

Diagnostic analysis

Uncataloged data sets and orphaned entries in ICF catalogs can waste space and put catalog integrity at risk. Diagnostic analysis features in Mainstar products identify these entries, and create the commands to ensure that they are removed from the environment, and repairing and synchronizing catalog components.
