PDM | zOpenGate

Manage your data sharing in multiple IT environments.

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
