1. Through the Optimization Module, it is possible to write into disk the files that would originally have been written into magnetic tape. This mechanism is totally transparent to production, releasing processing time and resources to execute critical tasks at the installations. The processes run at high speeds and with more parallelism, eliminating contention problems, resulting from physical unit unavailability. Later, when it is more convenient for production, the files are released or moved into tapes in an optimized manner, taking full advantage of their storage capacity.

2. The Migration Module allows easy and efficient migration of datasets between different tape storage technologies. For example, it can be used to migrate data between low and high-density tapes, maximizing the fulfilling of tapes destination. Another potential use is to load virtualization equipment data (VTS/VTM) from the physical tape collection. 

As an additional benefit, the Migration Module offers optimization resources “post-processing stacking”, allowing files to be grouped in order to optimize volumes use.
