It just makes sense to be utilize a cloud approach for backup and store of our mainframe data. The cost of hardware and maintenance is simply too high to ignore. I am very excited to be working on a project with CA's Vtape VTS Cloud Edition. This industry shaking software solution will be used as a the key mechanism for backing up mainframe storage to the cloud.
Our VTAPE VTS new Linux adapter will allow offloading of most mainframe resources to a Linux on System z® platform. It will also allow mainframe customers to leverage a less expensive hardware or software appliance to access the cloud for data storage and recovery. By leveraging this new innovation, mainframe customers will be able to mount a Network File System (NFS) from Linux to feed and recover data from the cloud.
This is it! We have arrived. We now have access to secure and reliable storage without the fuss of having to worry about a continued growth in hardware in our data centers.
Keep an eye out for more information in the future.
