Consolidated Software Package
|
|---|
|
Easy to install, configure and use
|
Sun StorageTek ELS consolidates software functions and enhancements into a single, easy-to-install software package that features an intuitive interface. This helps you reduce complexity and save time.
|
|
|
Improved software integration
|
The package comes with a full complement of integrated software components:
- Host Software Component (MSC) provides centralized management of StorageTek libraries in an MVS/VM environment.
- Storage Management Component (SMC) serves as the interface between the mainframe operating system and the libraries.
- Virtual Tape Control System (VTSC) enables centralized management of StorageTek libraries in virtual environments.
- HTTP server middleware allows communication between the SMC software and a remote HSC subsystem.
- Concurrent Disaster Recovery Test (CDRT) provides a utility that enables disaster recovery testing concurrent with production activity.
- Physical tape vaulting streamlines operations through improved integrated with the optional StorageTek Library Content Manager.
- Simpler command interface provides a single intuitive interface for HSC and VTCS, simplifying management.
- Improved volume definition defines volumes once with no overlaps.

Enhanced disaster-recovery capabilities reduce risk of data loss
|
-
Protecting and recovering your data is critical, especially when it involves financial, telecommunications, or government information. StorageTek ELS helps you recover faster and improves day-to-day reliability and availability.
- Electronic import/Export enables an unlimited number of virtual tape volumes to be created in multiple locations.
- Higher-availability clustering solution expands cluster capability to any number of virtual tape storage subsystems.
- SMC simulation allows pre-validation of commands prior to any policy production.
- Improved client/server virtual tape volume mount processing through SMC boosts fault tolerance.
