Performance

This chapter describes various aspects of CA Vtape which can increase or decrease CPU usage or memory usage.

Because CA Vtape is a software virtual tape solution, every function the product performs requires CPU and memory. If either of these resources becomes constrained, it could elongate mount times, virtual tape processing times, and job run-times.

This section contains the following topics:

Response Time

Exploitation of the zIIP Specialty Processor

CPU Performance Compared to Memory Utilization
