Mainframe Storage Manager at a insurance company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Allocate is the space recovery process that's almost like automation. It puts "hooks" into a system so when files grow and shrink, and when people are creating their data, CA Allocate intercepts and fixes them in a way that there is no bend even if the user does not put the right space parameters because they don't know the data or the data just grew. It changes those space parameters so that the job doesn't bend. We can run reports after and talk to the people and tell them they can go ahead and fix their job later.
