Is your System i DASD close to capacity? Do you wish you had time to track object growth, unused objects, and otherwise investigate causes of poor disk utilization? Do you lack the time or expertise to devote to this complex endeavor on an on-going basis?

Vision Director is an advanced systems management software solution for the System i. Vision Director helps you manage your DASD and increase data availability by monitoring DASD usage and allowing you to reclaim valuable DASD space.

  • Leverage a comprehensive view of all objects on your system
  • Automatically manage disk utilization
  • Realize significant cost savings from reclaimed DASD

Many System i servers are running with high disk utilization (over 75%) because they are filling up with non-essential data. Examples of non-essential data include temporary test libraries, temporary save files, copies of files, un-cleared logs, records flagged as deleted but not removed and much more. This can lead to premature disk upgrades and in some cases emergency situations where operators urgently hunt and delete objects because disks have exceeded the critical threshold (90%) and threaten a system crash. With storage capacity getting larger and more objects stored it’s becoming more difficult to identify non-essential objects manually.

With Vision Director you stay in control with an automated solution to help you gather extensive information about your i5/OS environment, evaluate recommendations for improvement and take action on your behalf. Vision Director allows you to maximize the ROI of your existing System i.
