| The Backup Veteran: Tape Does It Still Have A Place In Your SME’s Long-Term Storage Strategy? by Elizabeth Millard |
Processor Magazine Cover Focus Articles Vol.29 Issue 36 |
7 Sep 2007 |
| “…That’s causing vendors to ponder better ways of integrating tape and other media. Tape isn’t on the way out, many believe; it can be a fundamental way to shuttle data through a backup strategy.

The software lets users predict capacity allocation and uptime, with a stackable node-based architecture that allows several nodes to be virtualized into one virtual tape library image. It also lets users back up data to disk and migrate it to tape ..." | ||

Gresham says it has sold 4,300 licenses of its Gresham Clareti Enterprise DistribuTape (EDT) application, which helps IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) users improve the efficiency, manageability and reliability of their tape storage operations.
