Mainframe Storage Manager at a insurance company with 1,001-5,000 employees
It's a space recovery product that helps us fix problems before they happen so we work on them after running a job, but I don't want to have to touch a file to make changes or updates.
One of the biggest benefits of CA Allocate is in the cost. We initially went with BMC MainView, which is a great product and a little more user friendly than CA Allocate. But because of our good relationship with CA, we were able to mimic everything we had with BMC. Any issues we had doing that, CA collected them right away to help us. As a space recovery product, CA Allocate helps us fix problems before they happen and then we work on them after we run a job. If somebody does not put the right space parameter, we let the job run and then we fix it after. If somebody does not optimize a data set, we run our reports after talking to these people without ever having an event waste CPU cycles.

Overview

CA Allocate DASD Space and Placement (CA Allocate) enables more efficient use of DASD by enforcing allocation policies and procedures and redirecting inaccurate allocations for proper grouping, optimum space or best-fit usage.
In addition, X-37 resolution can prevent application failures to help save your enterprise time, resources and money. CA Allocate can help your enterprise maximize tape and DASD usage and optimize tape management resources with dynamic storage management for new allocations, and flexible, user-defined rules for allocation management.

Broadcom

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.
