Luminex Synchronous Tape Matrix

Luminex Software, Inc. announced the Luminex Synchronous Tape Matrix (STM) feature for its Mainframe Virtual Tape (MVT) and Channel Gateway X (CGX) solutions.

Luminex provides multiple data centers in campus or metro regions support for active-active tape operations, with continuous availability and redundancy.

Designed for the largest and most complex mainframe data centers, Luminex continues in performance, scalability and resiliency with true continuous availability, providing advanced technology for managing mainframe tape operations. In addition to complete data path redundancy between the mainframe and storage, any failures or outages of storage systems, network paths, or any component will automatically recover with no mainframe intervention and assured data integrity. Luminex synchronous storage mirror technology provides the underlying functionality to ensure continued operations for a wide range of infrastructure failure scenarios.

"Luminex has now extended its product leadership with this new Scapability", said Arthur Tolsma, CEO. "As the largest mainframe customers have demanded choice and flexibility without compromise, we continue to listen and have again delivered."

With the release of Luminex STM, there is now an architecturally active-active virtual tape solution for the mainframe community. The solution brings a competitive and cost effective solution to a market that was traditionally bound by proprietary solutions. Luminex Sis designed to integrate with Luminex’s DR and cloud storage solutions.
