Robot Space

Robot Space eliminates disk space problems. Collects usage statistics, predicts future disk consumption and performs more than 20 cleanup tasks to keep space utilization to a minimum.

Spend Less Time and Money on Disk Space:

You’ll spend less time worrying about your disk space when your daily disk space monitoring is completely automated—and you’ll spend less money over the long run by better managing your objects and files, so you don’t purchase unnecessary, expensive extra disk.

Plan for the Future

Understanding current trends within your storage environment gives you greater visibility to predict your organization’s disk space needs and plan for the future accordingly, thanks to the historical metrics visible in your disk space analyzer.

Improve System Performance:

Regular monitoring for everything from active jobs to spooled files using flexible storage thresholds helps you stay on top of disk space at all times, not just when you’re reaching capacity.

I can see the history of my data libraries, how big they are each month, how they change and fluctuate. At any point I can put that information into a nice graph if I want to see the size of library.

Key Disk Space Management Features :

Robot_Space_Funcionalidad1
Be a better steward of your current disk space with active, automated monitoring of your disk usage. Robot Space keeps an eye on your disk storage information, collecting statistics on usage and helping you spot spikes and identify trends across direct access storage devices (DASD), SSD drives, NVMe, and network storage devices like SAN.
Robot_Space_Funcionalidad2
You need up-to-date information on critical, fast-growing objects. Robot Space uses storage collection groups and event thresholds to collect statistics for groups of objects and PowerHA environments running with IASP, which you can graph, save, and print for analysis and future disk space planning. You can also compare library, integrated file system (IFS), and object-level growth from collection period to collection period.
Robot_Space_Funcionalidad3
Drill into disk storage problems to discover what’s eating away at your disk space. See historical disk growth metrics, compare against previous collections, and use cleanup tools for addressing obsolete objects and file reorganization.
Robot_Space_Funcionalidad4
Automated monitoring is hands-off, but rest assured that you’ll be all ready to respond to any issues that need your attention. When a specified disk space threshold is reached, receive a text, email, or SNMP message on your preferred device so you can correct the storage problem.
Robot_Space_Funcionalidad5
A lot of systems and applications feed your IBM i, including other servers, point-of-sale, inventory transactions, and more. As a disk usage analyzer, Robot Space offers pre-defined reports to help you better understand your IBM i disk space usage.

Audit Your IBM i Storage Lately?

Let’s say you want to pass library name, journal name, and/or number of retention days to a program and have the system delete any journal receivers associated with that journal whether they have been saved or not. No problem! Robot Space automates IBM i storage audits like this. It helps you:

  • Clean up journals and journal receivers (JRN)

  • Predict reorganization of physical files (PF) for deleted records

  • Purge old save files (SAVF)

  • Purge old integrated file system (IFS) stream files

  • Identify duplicate library objects

  • Find damaged objects

  • Delete QHST logs

  • Delete old spooled files
