About BMC AMI Storage Performance
BMC AMI Storage Performance is a suite of tools designed to enhance the efficiency and responsiveness of Virtual Storage Access Method (VSAM) applications on IBM CICS and batch programs. These tools optimize data storage capacity, reduce VSAM run times, and lower CPU consumption, thereby improving overall system performance. Optimizing performance takes ongoing effort to ensure responsive, efficient, and error-free operation. With BMC AMI Storage Performance solutions, your organization can realize maximum performance for your virtual storage access method (VSAM) applications. Optimize the performance, responsiveness, and scalability of existing systems and investments. Deliver dramatic improvement in responsiveness, while reducing I/O, storage, and CPU usage. Provide the intelligence needed to boost the performance and utilization of existing systems and resources, while reducing administrative overhead.

Rocket Data Virtualization
Rocket® Data Virtualization (RDV) provides real‑time, zero‑copy access to mainframe and distributed data through a unified SQL abstraction layer. It lets organizations query and combine heterogeneous sources without data movement or replication, supporting analytics, AI/ML, and cloud‑native workloads while maintaining system‑of‑record governance. RDV connects to Db2, VSAM, IMS, Adabas, Datacom, and relational or cloud stores via JDBC/ODBC. Optimizations such as predicate pushdown, parallel execution, and adaptive caching deliver low‑latency access with minimal production impact. Security includes encryption, row/column‑level controls, data masking, and SAF/RACF integration, with high‑availability options for continuity. By keeping data in place and offloading read‑heavy workloads, RDV reduces mainframe CPU usage and enables governed enterprise data access without ETL or replication.

FlashSoft
FlashSoft® software from SanDisk enables solid-state storage in the server (NVMe, PCIe, SAS or SATA) to enhance storage performance with full compatibility with currently deployed SAN storage systems. The software automatically places applications’ most frequently accessed data on the flash device in the server and keeps the data fully synchronized with the underlying storage. This cost-effective, high-performance flash solution improves application performance, virtualization capability, and storage efficiency without requiring any changes to existing applications or data center processes. Typical 2-4X faster with no changes to existing storage by reducing latency and increasing data delivery bandwidth. With reduced storage latency, virtual host servers can support 2X – 3X the number of virtual servers, at the same performance. Storage savings by serving storage traffic from the server-based cache, FlashSoft relieves overhead from expensive storage infrastructure.
