A member of the MMS® product family, MMS/hsm™ helps corporations world-wide maximize the return of their iSeries storage resources by migrating seldom used objects to the most cost-effective media—compressed disk or tape. Archived objects are dynamically retrieved when a user request is issued, enhancing overall administration and operations management.
WITH MMS/HSM, YOU CAN:
- Migrate data between different storage layers
- Minimize overall storage costs by archiving seldom used objects to tape
- Maximize storage resources by removing archived data
- Increase application availability with dynamic retrieval of archived data

MMS/hsm migration support provides an automated method of managing and distributing data between different storage layers to meet user needs for accessing data while minimizing the overall cost. With migration support, libraries and spooled files can be migrated from expensive fast disk to compressed disk and ultimately to tape. Minimizing storage costs while maximizing accessibility, MMS/hsm saves valuable disk space by selecting infrequently used objects, saving them to tape and then deleting them from disk.
