From Mainframe Storage Nightmares to Success Stories

  • The Challenge

    Drowning in Tape Storage Costs

    "We're maintaining rooms full of tape drives for data we rarely access, but regulations require us to keep it for 7-10+ years. The hardware and tape recycling maintenance is killing our budget, not to mention the floor space we're wasting."

    The Solution

    Cloud Storage at a Fraction of the Cost

    STRATUSn moves your archived data to cloud object storage at just pennies per gigabyte, providing organizations with substantial storage costs savings. Reduced tape hardware maintenance means regaining valuable floor space. Your data remains fully accessible and compliant, with the mainframe maintaining complete control over retrieval when you need it.

  • The Challenge

    The Solution

    TRANSVERSEn supports disk migration by using existing TCP/IP network connections, and its point-in-time capabilities enable the migration of disk volumes from a source device on a local z/OS system to a new device located on a remote z/OS system.
