Testimonial by Natalia Bedrin of PRODAM

Name: Natalia Bedrin
Business Name: PRODAM
Client Since: 2012
Description of Product or Service Endorsing: The product used was GFS/Stack, which solves problems caused by under-utilization of the storage capacity of magnetic tapes and eliminates resource waste in z/OS tape libraries.

Natalia Bedrin says...

PRODAM is a governmental company tasked with managing information technology and communications in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Specifically, PRODAM maintains all the computer infrastructure and data processing tasks in the entire city, which is also Brazil's largest city and among the ten largest cities in the world - quite a substantial role for one organization.

PRODAM had a rapidly expanding tape library with over 20,000 underutilized singlefile volumes. With the installation of a new Storagetek Tape Library, with the capacity for 6,000 volumes, PRODAM needed to significantly reduce the total number of volumes so the new hardware could accommodate the entire tape library. This needed to be accomplished without any changes to JCLs, the operating environment, or the read/write procedures. As a subsequent requirement, PRODAM needed a systematic method of maintaining efficient usage of the tape library within the new robot that would not incur additional processing overhead.

To achieve its goal, PRODAM sought an easy-to-implement solution to consolidate the tape environment, enable an efficient usage of the new media, and drastically reduce the total amount of cartridges in the tape library.

PRODAM received recommendations to consider GFS/Stack, which specializes in optimizing resource usage in tape libraries.

Immediately upon implementation of GFS/Stack, PRODAM was able to consolidate and reduce the existing tape environment by over 70% and populate the Storagetek Tape Library, providing a means to take full advantage of the newly acquired hardware and provide a quick return on investment on both GFS/Stack and the robot. In addition PRODAM was able to immediately increase their available scratch pool, eliminating the need for additional tape purchases. Conclusively, PRODAM was able to create a large ROI and continues to draw on the benefits of GFS/Stack on a daily basis.
