Through the Channel Gateway, open systems Virtual
Tape Library and disk storage products (such
FC, SAN and RAID disk storage products from
EMC, Data Domain, Sun, Hitachi, NCC, Nexan...)
can be channel-attached to the mainframe via
native ESCON and FICON. The Channel Gateway
presents itself to the mainframe as native ESCON
or FICON channel-attached devices (such as 3480,
3490 or 3590 tape drives). Mainframe applications
and tape management software mount, dismount,
read and write “tapes” through the
Channel Gateway without change. ESCON and FICON
traffic is streamed at wire speed to the Virtual
Tape Library device with no added MIPS overhead,
no bottlenecks and no impact to the mainframe.
Through the Channel Gateway, the advanced features and cost effective storage found in modern VTLs are now available to the mainframe user. Features such as data de-duplication, remote site replication, point in time snap shots, … can be immediately deployed for mainframe backup and disaster recovery application
