Overall Satisfaction with IBM System Storage DS8000
IBM System Storage DS8000 is used for both z/OS and z/VM to store all back end data and for all online and mobile servers.
- It's very good at mirroring the data between our 2 sites (Production and DR).
- Its high availability means that we've never had an outage the entire time we've been using it.
- Management is easy through the HMC.
- Since the DS8000 can use SMS to now archive HSM data directly to the TS7700, maybe add an interface to the tape system?
- Our ROI would be that the hardware is very redundant and we rarely ever need to place a service call.
