What does GETVIS do?
GETVIS is a tool designed to improve FTP file transfer performance on zVSE/VSEn systems. It works by automatically preloading files into memory before they are transferred via FTP. This preloading process can significantly reduce the time it takes to prepare files for transfer, leading to faster overall transfer speeds.
Is this a system, application, or tool?
GETVIS is best described as a tool that enhances the performance of file transfers. It is not a complete system or application but rather a specialized component that optimizes a specific aspect of file transfer operations. It integrates with existing FTP servers on zVSE/VSEn.
What types of organizations use this?
Organizations that rely on frequent and large FTP file transfers on zVSE/VSEn systems are the most likely to benefit from GETVIS. These organizations often include those in industries such as finance, insurance, and any sector that handles substantial data processing on mainframe environments.
When should we consider GETVIS?
A company should consider using GETVIS when they experience performance bottlenecks in their FTP file transfer processes on zVSE/VSEn. If file preparation times are causing delays or impacting overall system efficiency, GETVIS can provide a solution by preloading files into memory.
What are the alternatives to GETVIS?
Alternatives to GETVIS include other file transfer optimization tools and techniques, such as upgrading network infrastructure, using more efficient compression algorithms, or implementing different FTP server configurations. However, GETVIS offers a specific advantage by focusing on preloading files into memory, which can be particularly effective in zVSE/VSEn environments.
