PDM|zOG is a solution which combines Alebra's PDM with a FICON-Fibre Channel gateway (zOpenGate - patent pending) to achieve unprecedented processor efficiency and data transfer speed. PDM helps you manage your data sharing requirements in multi-vendor enterprise IT environments composed of z/OS and UNIX/Windows/Linux servers. z/OpenGate™ is the physical transport for data sharing between mainframe and open systems environments.
Benefits include:
- Reduced server CPU cycles for data movement -- no TCP/IP stack required
- Blazing file movement speed
- High Security due to Channel-based infrastructure
- High bandwidth
With PDM running on a z/OS node and on a UNIX/Windows/Linux node, PDM/zOG integrates z/OpenGate in such a way that:
- Configuration is simple
- Major operating systems are supported
- FICON/Fibre Channel Directors/Switches/HBA's are supported
- High availability
