solutions update . . .
- a Unisys storage partner
Key issues when considering virtual tape Connectivity – is my platform supported – by whom ? (for Unisys environments, MCP, MCPvm and OS 2200)
Disk based solution – speed up backups Tiered storage migration – COST effective archiving
End-to-end solution – are all components [and support] from one source ? Improve Backup Reliability
- Eliminates system impact from media failures
Ease of implementation – does this solution look like our current operation ?
Cost, cost, cost !

5 key ways to manage costs today . . . DSI VTL
• Policy managed movement
• Storage virtualization
• Thin provisioning
• Compression
DSI VTL’s provide policy managed migration to physical tape
DSI VTL is by nature virtualized storage DSI VTL “Capacity-On-Demand” uses only the amount of storage that has been written
DSI VTL uses compression to improve use of backend storage
• Data de-duplication DSI VTL offers an integrated de-duplication option
