Description

SSC plays a key role in the government’s ability to deliver

digital programs and services that improve the lives of Canadians, their

families and communities.

SSC works in partnership with key public-sector and

private-sector stakeholders to implement enterprise-wide approaches for

managing IT infrastructure services and employ effective and efficient business

management processes. Maintaining strong customer relationships and service

management is essential to the successful delivery of SSC’s mandate.

Shared Services Canada (SSC) has a requirement for Systems

Administrator - Mainframe Storage to work with the Mainframe Data Management,

Integration & Connectivity Services Support group for the Mainframe

Operation Division of Shared Services Canada.

History Of Group

Mainframe Operations Management has a commitment to partners

and clients to meet and maintain day-to-day operations and Service Level

Agreements. There is currently a shortage of in-house resources with the

required skill sets.

The team is responsible for the operation of the IBM

mainframe environment for a variety of partners. This particular team that the

resource works in would be to manage mainframe storage, from the mainframe. The

person would be responsible for carving of the disk, setting HSM classes to

govern migration of datasets within the different tiers of mainframe storage.

They would complete upgrade of software that resides on the mainframe that

control mainframe storage.

The majority of systems hosted on mainframe are considered

critical business applications for the government of Canada. There are systems

that control the borders, air travel or commercial goods that travel in and out

of Canada (CBSA), systems that support defence controls and the movement of

military assets throughout the globe (DND), systems that support processing of

tax returns and anything that has to do with taxation (CRA). This initiative is

also tied to WLM - SSC has multiple closures of data centers on the books and

the resource would also be responsible for supporting those. In addition, a

migration to newly purchased storage product is underway - due to unsupported

hardware and production systems, a cutover is urgently required to ensure

continued vendor support.
