This is a big announcement with a long name to go with it: IBM Integrated Removable Media Manager for the Enterprise on System z V1.1. Call it IRMM for short, and it's yet another expansion of the mainframe software portfolio.
IRMM helps you manage both mainframe and non-mainframe tape media from a single point of control, relying on policies defined in DFSMSrmm. Also includes support for Tivoli Storage Manager servers and storage agents. It's a new product that breaks down the barriers between current "islands" of tape storage, and it should help make compliance with data retention policies much easier and more uniform. Available September 14, 2007.
