And IMHO, CA Technologies made a mistake when they renamed the product CA-Disk Backup and Recovery. That name places it as a backup and recovery tool, but it is so much more than that. IMO they should have stuck with just CA-Disk. My shop has had the product since about 1987, and we use it for a lot more than backup and recovery.
Just my $.02, okay maybe $.04 ;-) Linda ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ed Gould" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, May 7, 2011 2:32:49 PM Subject: Re: Do we need to implement HSM ________________________________ From: MarjiM <[email protected]> To: Ed Gould <[email protected]> Sent: Fri, May 6, 2011 7:38:18 PM Subject: Re: Do we need to implement HSM Hi - Not sure who your source was but they got it wrong. DMS/OS and all of the name changes under Sterling Software and now CA Technologies is still very much alive. It's now called CA Disk Backup & Recover for MVS. We have two other platforms - Unix and MSP that are less robust but the MVS version is still going strong. -------------SNIP0000000000000 Marjorie: My friend say he was beta testing the PC version when Sterling went away. I think somehow what I wrote was incorrect or was not clear. I did not mean to say DMS was dead . I know it went to CA (along with the developer(s)) . I guess my point is/was that since then DMS has gone through a change and not too many people (that I know of) have the product. Way back when (not sure exactly when) DMS acronym was used for some CICS(???) product a screen drawing product(?) IIRC. I always wondered why they picked that name (shades of USS).
