From Jun 2019 to Jun 2024
McDATA® Corporation
(Nasdaq:MCDTA)(Nasdaq:MCDT), a leading provider of data access
solutions, today announced FICON read acceleration functionality for the
UltraNet® Edge Storage Router and USD-X
platforms. Coupled with its existing write acceleration capability, this
combined functionality dramatically reduces tape backup and recovery
time, delivering local-like read/write performance for FICON-based tape
storage over a WAN wide area network.
As a pioneer in the industry, in 1989, McDATA first introduced remote
tape backup/vaulting over extended distances as a cost-effective
approach for disaster recovery and archive. Tape vaulting over distance
reduces the possibility of lost, damaged or stolen tapes, and improves
data security and availability because it allows companies to
electronically transfer backup data to disaster recovery facilities
rather than physically transporting tape or relying on a courier
service. The new FICON read acceleration functionality allows customers
to place FICON tape or virtual tape wherever it makes business sense,
regardless of distance from the host, and without compromising recovery
performance. The architecture also helps administrators reduce the
impact that any one data center outage or regional disaster will have on
the entire network by allowing them to spread their corporate storage
infrastructure over multiple power grids and greater distances.
“McDATA has a long history of remote storage
networking innovation,” said Michael Frendo,
Sr Vice President, Engineering, McDATA. “Today
we are the market leader in both mainframe storage networking and long
distance solutions and we are the only storage networking vendor that
supports both read and write acceleration for both mainframe and open
systems tape and virtual tape. With this new read pipelining
functionality, we can give customers a cost-effective alternative to
mainframe disk mirroring for business continuity, disaster recovery and
data mobility.”
