, Mass. -- Presentation to Discuss New Storage Options for Mainframe HSM (1) (Hierarchical Storage Management) The automatic movement of files from hard disk to slower, less-expensive storage media. The typical hierarchy is from magnetic disk to optical disc to tape.  
Bus-Tech(R), Inc., a leading supplier of data center connectivity
products, announced today that Dianne McAdam, senior analyst and
partner of Data Mobility Group, will be a featured speaker at the IBM
Storage and Storage Networking event in Las Vegas from July 26-30.
McAdam's session will highlight the growing importance of Information
Lifecycle Management (ILM) for Mainframe customers. ILM solves key
problems such as ineffective storage utilization, the costs of
managing storage and the ability to manage storage growth surrounding
data replication, disaster recovery/business continuance and backup.

What:      "New Storage Options for Mainframe: HSM moves to the realm
            of ILM" to be presented at IBM Storage and Storage
            Networking event.

Who:       Dianne McAdam, senior analyst and partner of Data
            Mobility Group.

When:      Tuesday July 27, 4:10 PM PDT

Where:     Caesar's Palace, 3570 Las Vegas Blvd. Las Vegas, NV

 has been successfully utilized in mainframe environments for years and is basically an early adoption of the ILM disciplines. The "hierarchy" refers to different classes of storage media, such as disks systems, optical storage and tape, and each type represents a different level of cost and speed of retrieval when access is needed. ILM is an extension of this approach and takes specific note of the importance of determining how data moves through a system and how it is managed from creation to long term storage.

"ILM is the best way to maximize the value of information at the lowest cost and enables mainframe organizations to implement new and improved storage options that will provide significant time and money savings. Mainframe companies have been doing this for years with HSM and are now extending this through ILM. "
