IBM® Tivoli® Automated Tape Allocation Manager for z/OS directly addresses tape device availability issues.

It provides automatic, unattended sharing of tape resources over multiple images so that your tape drives can be used at maximum capacity instead of sitting idle.

• Ensures that existing tape drives are available, on demand, for requests from multiple images instead of dedicating tape devices to a specific image
• Helps reduce tape-related bottlenecks
• Minimizes the backlog of job requests that require tape drives
• Supports global commands, implemented through a TCP/IP-based communication infrastructure
• Runs in parallel with third party products
