Managing Mainframe Disk and Tape Capacity - using DCOLLECT, HSM and RMM data

Webinar on Demand

A webinar by SMT Data


Efficient management of mainframe disk and tape storage is important for maintaining stable and cost-effective operations. However, transforming the data from tools like DCOLLECT, HSM, and RMM into useful insights can be challenging.

This webinar, based on experiences from large-scale mainframe environments, outlines strategies to improve storage efficiency, lower costs, and align with long-term business objectives. Key methods include optimizing the trade-off between HSM’s storage savings and its CPU usage, tracking aging datasets, and identifying inactive data for reclamation.

The webinar was hosted by Mary Solomon, VP of ITBI Services and moderated by Steven Thomas, Principal ITBI Evangelist at SMT Data.
