How much time and effort does your company expend when a new tape technology is introduced? According to a large international bank, it took them one and a half years to accomplish, was a tremendous strain on their staff and the new media alone cost $8 million dollars. Converting to mainframe Virtual Tape Libraries can be the last tape migration you ever have to go through. Tape technology changes every few years to take advantage of increased capacity, higher track count, etc. which require a massive conversion effort. Mainframe Virtual Tape Libraries separate the drive emulation and mainframe connectivity from the disk storage. As the storage gets denser and faster new disk drives can be introduced to the VTL and are automatically discovered and increases your tape storage capacity. Learn how one customer achieved his last tape migration and the savings they are projecting going further.
