EMC Corp. announced Tuesday immediate storage and backup support for customers deploying the new IBM zEnterprise EC12 Mainframe System.
Through this support, EMC is offering EC12 customers with powerful,
trusted and smart storage for mission-critical mainframe environments.
For over 20 years, EMC has addressed the specific performance, availability and backup needs of mission-critical mainframe applications and data. The result is one of the industry's broadest portfolios of mainframe solutions and technologies, including the EMC VMAX line, EMC Connectrix storage connectivity capabilities, fully automated storage tiering (FAST) software and the EMC Disk Library for mainframe.
EMC FAST VP (Fully Automated Storage Tiering for Virtual Pools) automatically optimizes application performance and maximizes the benefits of Flash drives for EC12 mainframe customers. FAST VP for mainframe count-key data (CKD) volumes brings the automation, performance and economies of scale benefits of FAST VP to mainframe-based workloads and applications. The recently announced EMC DLm8000 is a mainframe virtual tape library that ensures consistency between tape data at both production and recovery sites, providing the shortest possible RPO and RTO for critical recovery operations for EC12 environments.
EMC also offers one of the industry's only four-site business resiliency solution using EMC Symmetrix Remote Data Facility (SRDF) and Geographically Dispersed Disaster Restart (GDDR) software. When combined, SRDF and GDDR automation provide near-continuous availability between data centers within a region, as well as continued disaster recovery protection in a second region located an extended geographical distance away. EMC AutoSwap supports the EC12 mainframe platform, providing a continuous availability solution, including support for Linux on System z workloads. It does so by enabling non-disruptive swaps of active z/OS and z/VM workloads to secondary disk storage using EMC SRDF software.
In addition, EMC Global Services helps customers achieve maximum stability, performance and agility from their mainframe architecture. The EMC Backup Infrastructure Assessment service aligns mainframe backup infrastructure, applications, policies and procedures to meet business demands and SLA requirements. The EMC Mainframe Transformation Services enable customers to modernize and accelerate their mainframe applications to seize new business opportunities.
"EMC is thoroughly committed and continues to innovate for mainframe customers,” said Brian Gallagher, Title, Enterprise Storage Division at EMC. “Hybrid cloud and Big Data are forcing organizations to rethink their overall IT infrastructure, including mainframe environments. EMC continues to deliver new innovation for the mainframe community to meet the performance, protection, availability and efficiency requirements demanded by zEnterprise customers—while enabling them to keep up with the mega industry trends of Cloud and Big Data. As the market leader in storage, we're pleased to support the needs of zEnterprise EC12 customers right out of the gate."
