This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on March 4, 2008 at 4:07 pm
Dynamic
Solutions International (DSI), a provider of data
storage solutions and comprehensive professional services for
businesses and enterprises, announced an OEM agreement with
Formula Consultants Inc. (FCI), developer of proven media
management solutions for the Unisys OS2200 operating system. The
partnership will allow DSI to package its virtual tape libraries (VTL)
with FCI’s STAR media and library management software for mainframe
tape applications, including data backup and recovery in the Unisys
OS2200 operating system market.
DSI’s
VTL solution ensures error-free backups and allows users to
conveniently deploy backup acceleration and data encryption services in
the backup environment without changing the configuration of their
physical tape library. For Unisys OS2200 systems the VTL is controlled
by FCI’s STAR-1100 and new STAR LibraryManager software. DSI’s VTL
utilizes disk to enhance backup performance and reliability, encrypt
the physical tape cartridge in the background without impacting backup
speed, and provision additional virtual tape drives to the backup
system to accommodate additional or concurrent backup/restore sessions.
The
DSI VTL provides off-host encryption and replication, which enables
users to easily tighten security and comply with government
regulations. It includes flexible host connectivity, and with FCI, it
now provides seamless integration with existing backup processes in the
Unisys OS2200 operating environment. With FCI’s media and library
management software, the DSI VTL significantly reduces administrative
time and costs by running multiple concurrent backup jobs to deliver
dramatically faster backups and centralizing management of backup
resources at an easy-to-use operator interface.
