The Innovation Access Method (IAM) is a transparent alternative to
VSAM KSDS, ESDS and (as a cost option) AIX and RRDS files. The savings
achieved over VSAM can vary, but IAM typically uses 40-80% less I/Os,
20-70% less CPU and 30-70% less DASD. Savings in batch elapsed times and
online response times can range from 20-80%. |

How IAM Significantly Reduces VSAM Processing Time. |

The FDRABR Volume and Incremental Backup system offers high-performance, managed backups
of your z/OS DASD volumes, together with optimized processes for dataset and volume restore.
For disaster recovery situations, where multiple volumes need to restored as quickly as
possible, the optional FDRDRP extension can reduce volume recovery times by up to 80%. |
|
FDRINSTANT enables FDRABR to take near 24x7 backups of duplicated offline
volumes, created by DASD Subsystem features such as StorageTek SnapShot Copy,
EMC TimeFinder (Mirror, Clone and Snap), HDS ShadowImage and IBM FlashCopy. On
systems where the appropriate support is provided, FDRINSTANT can also take a
“consistent backup” against a group of duplicated offline volumes
that have been created at the same, consistent point-in-time. |
|
FDRAPPL can be used to create a managed backup of all the data sets belonging
to an application, from whichever disk volumes they reside. An automated control
file mechanism ensures that restores of either individual datasets, or the entire
application, can be done quickly and easily. |
|
FDRCRYPT provides encryption services for all FDR and ABR backups,
and can also be used to encrypt the sequential output datasets created by
an IDCAMS REPRO. A choice of encryption algorithms is available to allow a balance
to be struck between the strength of the encryption and the additional resources
required to encrypt (and decrypt) the data. |

FDRViEWS...Turning Raw Data into Smart Business Decisions. FDRViEWS
provides a simplified user interface to query and analyse your z/OS data storage.
With FDRViEWS, you can take scheduled and/or ad hoc “collections”
of the status of your z/OS storage at both the volume and data set level.
FDRViEWS can collect information from thousands of volumes in just a few minutes. |
|
FDRPAS allows for the non-disruptive movement of z/OS disk volumes from one
disk device to another. It can move/migrate 100’s of volumes in a day. On average,
it can move a 3390-3 in 3 to 5 minutes.
FDRERASE V5.4 L50 is an EAL2+ certified product that can quickly erase
many disk volumes in parallel allowing you to erase all the residual
data from a disk after Disaster Recovery testing, before it is removed
from a data centre or re-assigned for internal use. With FDRERASE
1,000 volumes (3TB) can be erased in less than 2 hours. |
|
FDREPORT is an extremely powerful and flexible DASD Management report
generator, which can draw information from a variety of sources, including
VTOCs, Catalogs, FDRABR control files, and DFHSM’s MCDS and BCDS control
datasets. FDREPORT also includes a set of pre-defined “Health Check” reports. |
|
FDRERASE/OPEN is an EAL2+ certified product that can quickly and easily erase any
disk attached to an Intel (x86) or compatible system, attached via a SCSI, SATA, SAS,
FIBRE, or an IDE, ATA or USB connection. The data on these disks may have been
created by any one of a range of operating systems, including Windows, UNIX, Linux,
Solaris and NetWare. Multiple levels of erasure are available, as well as PRINT and
VERIFY options to check that the data has been successfully erased.

FATS/FATAR is a suite of utilities for z/OS tape, including secure
data erasure, certification, verification and labeling. FATSCOPY adds
additional functionality to the suite, including tape media conversions
and tape stacking. |
|
|
|
FDR/UPSTREAM builds on the strengths of the FDR DASD Management Family and provides a
fast, safe and reliable solution to backup Open Systems data to disk or tape under
a z/OS host.
A wide range of clients is supported, including Windows, UNIX, Linux, NetWare and VMware.
Special agents are also included for the most popular database and messaging systems, including
Oracle, IBM DB2 UDB, Lotus Notes Domino, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL Server, SAP and
Novell GroupWise. |
|
If the open systems data to be backed up is resident on an EMC Symmetrix/DMX with
Enterprise Storage Platform (ESP), FDRSOS and FDR/UPSTREAM/SOS can utilize
high-speed
mainframe channels to offer an exceptional performance backup and restore of
that data. |
|
UPSTREAM Reservoir is designed for sites that prefer to host UPSTREAM on an open
systems server (e.g. Windows, UNIX or Linux), either as an alternative to, or as well
as FDR/UPSTREAM under z/OS.
UPSTREAM Reservoir shares the same basic functionality as FDR/UPSTREAM, but
also includes additional features, such as “SAN Express”, which offers a high-speed,
“LAN-Free” backup. |
