INNOVATION Delivers Fastest Solution Ever for IBM z/OS Mainframe Data Protection.LITTLE FALLS Little Falls is the name of some places in the United States of America:
Companies today see continual growth pushing up the time it takes to complete their backups, while a new sense of customer service, legislative oversight and regulatory penalties combine to demand near continual 24 x 7 data availability Refers to the degree to which data can be instantly accessed. The term is mostly associated with service levels that are set up either by the internal IT organization or that may be guaranteed by a third party datacenter or storage provider. . Understanding the squeeze this phenomenon puts on its IBM z/OS mainframe customers INNOVATION is delivering a new release of its FDR Suite that will significantly improve business resiliency with major contributions in the areas of data protection and business continuance, i.e. archive, backup, restore, copy and move. FDR V5.4 Lvl 60 enhancements to complement existing support for the latest generation of high speed tape drives includes improvements in all FDR and FDRABR archive, backup, restore and copy/move operations; with improvement most noticeable in data set FDRCOPY using "INSTANT" replication technology to copy data. An optional feature "INSTANT" technology enables the use of hardware data replication, by FDR V5.4 Lvl 60, allowing FDRInstant and ABRInstant functions to create local replicas in an instant for non-disruptive backup, rapid recovery from disk and significant reductions in data set copy/move time. There are additional enhancements for new high-capacity disk volumes, where a major portion of the total elapsed time e·lapsed time n. The measured duration of an event. Noun 1. elapsed time - the time that elapses while some event is occurring lay in z/OS meta data processing (e.g. allocation, catalog, disk VTOC (Volume Table Of Contents) A list of files on a disk. The VTOC is the mainframe counterpart to the FAT table on a PC. VTOC - Volume Table Of Contents processing). Meehan adding, "this release includes improvements delivering significant benefit including enhancements in the use of consistency, differential, incremental, copy, no-copy and pre-copy replication technology, as well as increasing use of parallel processing to take advantage of advances in z/OS system I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output services." Seamless integration, with EMC TimeFinder, Hitachi ShadowImage, IBM FlashCopy and SUN/StorageTek SnapShot technology allows users to transparently meet evolving business data protection needs and business continuance expectations independent of which storage vendor's hardware they happen to be using. Upon installing FDR V5.4 Lvl 60, customers can expect to see immediate benefit in the form of significant performance improvements with disk to disk (D2D (Disk-to-Disk) Typically refers to backing up data on disks rather than on tape. Disk-to-disk backup systems provide a very fast restore capability compared with tape backup. See D2D2T and virtual tape. ) backup and data set copy/move times cut in half, depending on the version of a storage vendor's data replication technology they employ. In summary: INNOVATION Data Processing, announces FDR V5.4 Lvl 60, the fastest solution available for IBM z/OS mainframe users to meet business data protection, business continuance and business resiliency obligations is available immediately for ordering.
