S4i DASD-Plus
DASD-Plus outperforms IBM utilities and all other
third party disk management solutions with more than 25 different
disk maintenance routines, from clearing history logs, to re-sizing
libraries, job queues and objects on the fly. It analyzes disk
usage by library, file, user, group, total disk, or user-defined
criteria. If desired, these routines can be performed automatically
at scheduled intervals to ensure that the system is always
optimized.
All routines are parameter-driven with time constraints so the
amount of
computer time that is spent on housekeeping is contained.
