Storage Support
Data is a company's most valuable asset, and it is the responsibility of the storage administrator to protect that data from system failures, viruses and disasters. This concept grew significantly in importance after the events of September 11, as scores of companies were forced to rebuild without their precious data. Storage administrators are experts in formulating and implementing a solid disaster recovery plan. This is key to preventing the loss or contamination of data. z/OS Data Facility Storage Management Subsystem (DFSMS), which is characterized by superior, policy-based disk and tape management, provides virtualization over the external storage resource.
