Benefit |
| Storage-vendor independence |
Host-based software migrates data across leading storage environments |
Supports flexibility in conducting a technology refresh with TDMF z/OS and provides negotiating power |
| Flexible migration options |
Provides control over input/output (I/O) rate an centrol processing unit (CPU) overhead for read/write, pacing/throttling, tunable copy and replication rate, and adjustable block size of each read/write |
Enables online migration activity while maintaining optimal application performance and service levels. With TDMF UNIX, this is accomplished via adjustable copy concurrency for speed. |
| Resilient architecture |
Current state of migration is maintained, regardless of graceful or nongraceful shutdown, to help ensure continued, recoverable migrations |
Migration process can continue in the event of server shutdown and restart | |
