CA 1 Tape Management vs HGST Flash Software Suite [EOL] comparison

CA 1 Tape Management (CA 1) is designed to simplify and unify the management and protection of z/OS tape data sets and volumes. It automates day-to-day z/OS tape management tasks to save your organization time and money. It enables a higher level of integrity for tape data while providing comprehensive protection against the inadvertent destruction of tape files. CA 1 helps you maintain data integrity, providing tools to continually check your data and prevent overwriting. To give you greater control, a Web-based Graphical Management Interface streams detailed tape volume information and provides a common platform for more efficient management practices.

HGST Flash Software Suite (FSS) is a high performance, low-latency storage platform that maximizes storage performance. FSS utilizes server installed HGST PCIe or SAS Flash devices in a cluster to provide extremely high performance and storage array-like capabilities. FSS improves performance and reduces hardware footprint by moving storage physically and electrically closer to server CPUs.
