Well, one reason that you would do it on EMC is because it also has that
capability and you have the box onsite and capable for the last year!!

Also, my understanding (correct me if I'm wrong), is that HDS has to
write/create a file and then secondarily do a read to create the
Mainframe file.  This seems to be 2phase vs. a single process (reduction
in elapsed time??))
