REALTIME DEFRAG
Company:
Dino Software
Today the availability and reliability of your organization's data is critical to its success. But finding the time required to keep your systems operating efficiently often strains a data center's resources and its ability to meet service level agreements. In order to utilize available resources more efficiently, more and more computer centers are optimizing their disk space with RealTime Defrag (RTD). RTD is a unique DASD management tool that allows users to have cost-effective, optimal utilization of disk space around the clock. RTD optimizes disk space permanently and automatically without affecting production and online operations. Users achieve considerable savings in terms of space and shorter access times. Batch windows at night and maintenance windows on weekends are freed of defrag runs that often take hours. RTD optimizes all disks according to user instructions – even those that are continuously accessed. In this way, particularly in cases of 24x7 operations, you achieve optimal management of the entire DASD environment. Production continues without interruptions. RTD handles important DASD management tasks such as defragmentation, unused space release, and file extent reduction in one step. Efficient I/O techniques guarantee optimal performance. Applications that run in parallel are unaffected. With RTD's online reports users can monitor exactly how much space is saved and verify its optimal use. RTD can be also customized to production standards. Whether those criteria are storage groups, volume names or file names, file attributes, or SMS classes, parameters can be customized at any time, and the changes take effect immediately.

SMFUTIL
Company:
Ubiquity
SMFUTIL is an SMF data management system. SMFUTIL operates as a replacement for the IFASMFDP system utility in dumping and clearing the SYS1.MANxx datasets and as a SMF data selection processor to retrieve SMF data from archive files to be used by another SMF data processing program (such as *SAS or *RMF). This data retrieval is based upon user supplied data selection and/or validation criteria. This selection is performed via control keywords that define the data requested and validation functions to be performed. In addition, concatenation of unlike input device types (i.e. disk and tape) is supported. This can greatly reduce the number of steps required to produce "current versus historical" types of reports from SMF data where the current data resides in a disk-based GDG and the historical data is on tape.
