"We are excited that customers are utilizing both LDMF and TDMF to ensure their data is mobile throughout corporate enterprise environments and both volume and data set levels," said Amena Ali, senior vice president of worldwide marketing and product strategy, at Softek. "In fact, we are seeing Nonstop Data Mobility being made into an operational practice to gain the benefits of non-disruptive data movement across multiple vendors." Recently, due to the compounded growth in storage, online data movement drivers such as tiering storage for ILM and compliance requirements for data placement and legal/audit requirements have emerged as operational mandates, in addition to traditional drivers such as data migration to implement larger new storage arrays. Data mobility is a key element in each of these areas. Having the flexibility to move critical data online across differing vendor platforms, any distance or any operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. , provides the foundation to instituting simple and unified data mobility as a strategic business practice.
