Keep your mainframe data safe

Simplify and automate data protection in z/OS environments

Data stored in IBM® zSystems/OS® applications and environments are typically mission-critical, requiring highly reliable protection. Data spans multiple data sets and volumes, and requires multiple media options—all while backup windows are shrinking. Rocket® Mainstar® systems and data management solutions simplify and automate data protection in z/OS environments, meeting business compliance goals.

Optimize mainframe data protection

Rocket Mainstar solutions optimize mainframe data protection, starting with backups. Without backups, data assets can't be recovered. Rocket solutions provide complete automated data asset backup and recovery for zSystems/OS environments. For example, Rocket provides single-click data backup for VSAM applications, in which data can be scattered across many data sets and volumes. You can also implement more granular protection for data that is protected by physical, volume-level local or remote data mirroring technology.

ICF catalogs are key control structures for data in zSystems/OS environments. An unexpected, catastrophic ICF catalog failure in any zSystems/OS environment can lead to hours of downtime. Rocket products assure that the entire ICF catalog environment is backed up including for forward recovery when necessary.

Another solution enables high-speed, accurate, and flexible audits of your IBM zSystems® data—reducing or eliminating single points of failure. Storage administrators can maintain healthy metadata environments and prevent temporary or permanent loss of data access. With fast, accurate metadata audits, your zSystems/OS environment stays trouble-free.
