Model 9: The Ultimate Solution for Mainframe Tapeless Backup and Recovery
In today's digital age, data is the lifeblood of any organization. It is essential to have a reliable backup and recovery system in place to ensure that your critical data is safe and secure. However, traditional mainframe backup solutions can be expensive, time-consuming, and complex. That's where Model 9 comes in.
Model 9 is a cutting-edge mainframe tapeless backup and recovery solution that offloads processing to zIIPs while using open storage on-premise or in the cloud. With Model 9, you can cut costs by up to 50% or more while enjoying faster backups and recoveries.
At its core, Model 9 leverages advanced technologies such as zIIP offload processing, open storage interfaces (OSI), virtual tape libraries (VTL), object storage systems (OSS), cloud gateways, deduplication engines, compression algorithms, encryption protocols, and more.
The result? A highly scalable solution that can handle petabytes of data with ease while providing superior performance and reliability compared to traditional tape-based backups.
But what sets Model 9 apart from other mainframe backup solutions? Here are some key features:
1) Tapeless Backup: Say goodbye to cumbersome tapes! With Model 9's disk-based approach, you can enjoy faster backups without worrying about physical media management.
2) Offloaded Processing: By leveraging zIIPs for processing-intensive tasks such as compression/decompression or encryption/decryption operations; you can free up your general-purpose processors (GPPs) for other critical workloads.
3) Open Storage Interfaces: With support for OSI standards such as NFSv4.x or S3-compatible APIs; you can use any vendor-neutral disk array or cloud object store as your primary storage target without being locked into proprietary hardware/software stacks.
4) Cloud Integration: Whether you want to use public clouds like AWS, Azure, or GCP; or private clouds like OpenStack, VMware, or Hyper-V; Model 9 has you covered with its cloud gateways that provide seamless connectivity and data mobility across hybrid environments.
5) Data Reduction: With built-in deduplication and compression engines; Model 9 can significantly reduce your storage footprint and bandwidth requirements while maintaining data integrity and security.
6) Encryption: With support for AES-256 encryption at rest/in transit; Model 9 ensures that your sensitive data is protected from unauthorized access or theft.
7) Reporting/Alerting: With customizable dashboards and real-time alerts; Model 9 provides visibility into your backup/recovery operations so that you can proactively monitor performance, capacity utilization, error rates, etc., and take corrective actions if needed.
In summary, Model 9 is a game-changer in the mainframe backup space. It offers a modern approach to tapeless backup/recovery that leverages the latest technologies while providing cost savings, performance gains, scalability benefits. If you're looking for a reliable solution that can help you meet your business continuity objectives without breaking the bank; look no further than Model 9!
