Secure, managed access to IMS data


7.3

File-AID for IMS enables you to:

Business and IT executives demand adherence to service level agreements, expect near-constant application availability, and carefully managed access to their sensitive IMS data—with fewer and less-skilled IMS resources than ever before.  To make matters worse, the volume of data in their IMS databases is growing at historically high rates.  How will the staff deal with these often-competing tasks within the same shrinking window of operations?
