Follow on Google News | iSam Blue and Tributary Systems Bring Virtual Backup Storage to IBM i UsersiSam Blue, llc and Tributary Systems, Inc. have teamed up to offer Tributary’s Storage Director virtual backup storage solution to IBM i users, announced Robert Seal, iSam Blue CEO, and Ed Ahl, Tributary Director of Business Development.
By: iSam Blue, llc Seal explains why he is adding Tributary’s Storage Director to the iSam Blue portfolio of IBM i data protection products and services: “When I first heard about Storage Director at COMMON Expo, I realized that this is a backup solution that many IBM i users need. This solution is ideal for those with multiple IBM i systems and/or multiple heterogeneous server platforms. Equally, it is for those who want to fully automate their long-term data storage, or implement new backup storage technology across all their platforms simultaneously, and/or provide an inexpensive automated alternative to offsite vaulting storage.” “Today, many IBM i data centers are heterogeneous,” The Storage Director appliance allows the connection of heterogeneous server platforms to a variety of storage technologies. It virtualizes data backup and long-term storage via a rules-based, intuitive interface that’s easy to use. Learning time is reduced thanks to the common interface for all types of storage. Storage Director protects your investment by allowing the use of legacy devices while implementing new storage technologies across all your servers. Data can be stored on Storage Director or on another Storage Director, SAN, NAS, tape and other devices; more are added all the time. Storage Director’s software can be upgraded so you can use new types of media as they become available. You can also retain legacy storage devices to retrieve historical data without having to convert it when you get a new device. Benefits of Storage Director in IBM i Environments • Reduce redundant devices (i.e., consolidate tape devices now directly attached to each server) • Virtualize your long term storage media (i.e., SD virtualizes your tape backups so they can be stored locally or remotely; source and target do not have to know each other) • Centralize and simplify management with easy-to-use interface • Replicate disk-to-disk initially then disk-to-tape • Write in native tape format, even to disk • Reduce hardware expenses • Expand choice of storage devices (i.e., single-tape devices, tape libraries, data deduplication devices, SAN or NAS, optical disk, another server or LPAR, or another Storage Director) • Retain legacy devices and still allow early adoption of new technology (i.e., add newer tape formats and keep old tape drives) About iSam Blue and Tributary Systems iSam Blue, llc http://isamblue.com teams up with world class software and hardware providers to private label and OEM software and hardware focused on one thing: protecting your IBM i and open systems data.
