Migrating data can have potentially disastrous effects, including downtime, loss of revenue and unavailability of crucial applications. Data migration requires careful planning with a migration solution that is less complex, yet compatible with multivendor storage environments. And the need for manual intervention in most data migrations can affect the performance and availability of storage subsystems.

IBM® Transparent Data Migration Facility (TDMF®) z/OS® provides end-to-end, non-disruptive data mobility to help you avoid data loss. It ensures high data integrity and application availability during the migration. TDMF can work in multivendor storage environments and support virtually any mainframe. Throughout the automated migration process, TDMF tracks and validates the data transfer to ensure the integrity and availability of your critical business applications. If issues are discovered with the new storage,  the switchback capability enables fallback to the original source configuration. Reduce the complexities associated with migration of large quantities of data with TDMF.
