Virtual Tape Library for Mainframes
Available now for the first time, the Virtual Tape Library for
VSE, VM/VSE and OS/390 using inexpensive open systems disk can save
you money and time and improve your operational efficiency. This
low cost, high performance system gives you faster backups, faster
restores, savings on tape drive maintenance, reduced operator requirements,
and many other benefits. It can be implemented using direct attached,
SAN-attached, or Network Attached (NAS) storage devices. Implemented
using SAN or NAS storage, the Virtual Tape Library provides cost-effective
capability for data sharing between the mainframe and open systems
servers running Windows and Unix operating systems. Now you can
configure a mainframe virtual tape on disk library using the new
EMC Centera Content Addressable Storage (CAS) system. With this
configuration, mainframe users will have a virtual tape library
with disk-like response time, tape-like pricing, and optical jukebox-like
WORM security of their data.
Mainframe Network Connectivity
The consolidation of large open systems alongside mainframes in the data center has turned client/server networks into data center networks.
The need to share this information in a distributed heterogeneous environment is crucial to the success of the mission critical-business applications. In this environment, the rich data content of the mainframe, which commonly stores 70% of corporate America's data, plays an ever-increasing roll. The protocol of choice to achieve this interoperability is TCP/IP.
Progress Systems offers high-performance products from Bus Tech for connecting networks to mainframe in TCP/IP and Open Systems environments. To connect from the desktop or a browser over a TCP/IP network to the mainframe applications, TN3270 emulation products from Zephyr provide leading edge connectivity solutions. For those companies with remote mainframe peripheral connectivity needs, INRANGE Channel Extension products give you the connectivity you need to support remote mainframe printing and tape drives, and remote data copy using products like EMC's SRDF for data backup and disaster recovery purposes
