Protecting Mainframe tape data presents some very unique challenges based on the way the Mainframe utilizes tape in its day to day processing and the many different ways tape is used as an output & input device. Mainframe tape data can be very highly interactive and these considerations must be taken into account. The explosion in the amount of data to manage and the need to retain more information for regulatory requirements can make meeting backup service level agreements almost impossible. ‘Tape on Disk’ is a high performing, reliable and cost-effective alternative to Mainframe physical tape or traditional virtual tape libraries. This technical session will highlight a user experience and many measured benefits of implementing a ‘Tape on Disk’ solution and is a ‘must attend’ for anyone who wants to see and hear about real measured cost savings, DR simplification, CPU buy back, shorter batch window, and overall operational improvements.
Attend this session and learn how you can:
- Eliminate traditional tape handling to reduce cost and complexity
- Reduce RTO & RPO on ‘all’ tape data based restores
- Restore in seconds and minutes compared to days and weeks
- Save CPU Cycles & shorten batch windows
- Improve HSM process/overhead and at the same time reduce cost
