WHY CHOOSE THIS PRODUCT?

• Three technologies in one suite Combines PAV, Hyper PAV and High Performance FICON for a broader mainframe performance architecture.
• Parallel I/O access Compatible PAV lets the mainframe issue multiple I/O requests concurrently to individual logical devices.
• Lower alias overhead Compatible Hyper PAV reduces the number of PAV aliases required while maintaining response-time objectives.
• FICON efficiency High Performance FICON reduces channel overhead through simplified protocol and information-unit processing.
• Used-capacity licensing Aligns license quantity with actual mainframe LDEV capacity used by PAV rather than simply licensing raw hardware capacity.
• 0–100TB procurement tier Provides a defined entry capacity band for smaller XP7 mainframe deployments.
• Performance-focused design Targets mainframe environments where I/O concurrency and FICON efficiency directly affect workload performance.
• Clear upgrade path Higher TK944AC, TK944AD and TK944AE tiers support procurement as the licensed environment grows.
