Tributary Systems is demonstrating its Storage Director with Data Deduplication, Data Replication and Data Migration capability in Booth 408 at the SHARE IBM Mainframe User Group’s Technology Exchange Expo in Orlando through August 10.
 
"This brings our patented Infinicache technology, the heart of Storage Director/ViTAL, to yet another IBM system platform. We been supporting  IBM iSeries (AS/400, Power i), IBM AIX, TSM and UNIX/Linux for over two years. Many of our Fortune 20 customers have been running our Storage Director/ViTAL backup virtualization solution in their data centers for over 4 years," said Ed Ahl, Director of Business Development for Tributary Systems, Inc.  
 
"Our Any-to-Any connectivity capability allows zOS customers to share storage resources with all the environments running in their data centers. Plus, with this one solution, they can: support data deduplication and any tape and disk technology; replicate data to disaster recovery locations over WAN and Cloud environments, and migrate their existing legacy data media to newer technology," Ahl said.
 
The benefits of IBM x Servers, IBM disk and tape storage technology, and IBM support have now been added to the Tributary Systems portfolio, which already included virtual storage solutions for IBM iSeries (AS/400, Power i), IBM AIX, HP NonStop (Tandem), HP Open VMS, Linux, UNIX, VMWare and Windows.
 
Policy-based, Storage Director/ViTAL has an architecture that enables fully automated data backup to disk, data deduplication technology, and tape resources. It also supports replication capabilities for off-site data protection, and restore operations from remote, unmanned, lights-out data centers. By separating the backup infrastructure from the backup host, Storage Director/ViTAL allows customers to migrate their legacy environments.
