Backup Optimization - Mainframe z/OS

 GFS/Stack - Automatic Multi-File

It is the only real-time stacking product available in the market, implementing multi-file / multi-volume tape sets during file allocation time. It does not require any JCL changes and the data is recorded in non-proprietary Standard Label Format. It solves the problems caused by magnetic tape storage capacity underuse, completely eliminating resource waste at the tape library.  

GFS/SOM - Storage Optimization Manager

It allows writing to disk the files that would originally have been written to magnetic tapes. This mechanism is totally transparent to production and releases processing capacity and time to execute critical tasks. Later, when it is more convenient for production, the files are then released or moved to tapes in an optimized manner, taking full advantage of their storage capacity.
