With the manufacturer's announcements of the Services Withdrawal (End of Support) and Marketing Withdrawals (End of Sales Life) for physical tape drive products, we'd like to highlight our success with transitioning many mainframe data centers to virtual tape.
Services Withdrawal (EOS)
Marketing Withdrawals (EOSL)
Luminex's Mainframe Virtual Tape is application transparent, so no changes are required in tape applications for batch processing, HSM, archiving, backup or recovery. Also, the transition from physical to virtual tape is easily facilitated by Luminex's proven tape migration tools and services, so that the original tape VOLSER numbers and historical information are preserved in the new virtual tape environment.
Luminex is offering a Trade-Up program that includes a competively priced complete solution (see sidebar for details).
