The IT Challenge -
Storage technology used by IBM i server may not have changed much in the last decade but the issues and challenges that IT managers face have significantly changed. Today,
managers are struggling with growing IT and data storage environments as well as the problems associated with completing backups on time, meeting recovery objectives, reducing downtime,
and the increasing costs of maintaining storage systems.

If you work in an IBM i Power Systems (IBM i, AIX) environment, you know that the standard backup methods used with local, attached tape storage can be frustrating at times. Your backup streams may run
slow. You're manually handling tape media more than you feel you should. The tapes must be handled, transported and stored offsite (often a long distance away) for disaster recovery planning. The backbone
of your business - the Power Systems server - shouldn’t be causing you backup headaches due to the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Here’s an opportunity to learn how virtual tape technology can help you be better prepared for a disaster recovery event by seamlessly fitting into your existing IBM i, AIX and Windows server environments.
Presenters:
Tom Huntington, VP of Technical Services, Help/Systems
Glenn Haley, Sr. Product Manager, Crossroads Systems
In this informative 50-minute webinar, youll hear and see how Robot/SAVE automates and tracks your IBM i backups while the SPHiNX for Power Systems provides an affordable disk-based virtual tape solution that optimizes media management, improves recovery time, and increases storage capacity while leveraging your existing investments in disk and tape backup infrastructures.
ReadVerify™ Appliance
The IT Challenge -
In today’s economy, significant data growth, disaster recovery, regulations and compliance all factor into an organizations' need to successfully back up data; therefore, any failure of the data backup process can pose a
significant and expensive problem. While many of the newer technologies can provide faster recovery time and recovery point objectives, tape and accompanying automation systems still provide the lowest cost, most portable
and highly-scalable solution; therefore, they continue to serve as the backbone of logical data protection and long-term archival of information. Though backup is the proven method for providing logical data protection, this
method has a significant failure rate, and media failure is the primary cause.

The ReadVerify Appliance (RVA) is an out of band, tape system environment monitoring appliance. RVA has been specifically designed to provide information on the physical tape environment, allowing the users to minimize backup and recovery failures and to identify points of error when failures do occur. Along with the improved visibility and information available to the user, the five areas of cost savings RVA provides are:
- Reduction of backup failures
- Reduction of recovery errors
- Reduction of media purchases
- Reduction of hardware capital purchases
- Reduction of labor time

To better understand the value of ReadVerify Appliance (RVA) compared to backup reporting applications or point solutions, we must fiirst understand the problems being solved in the customer environment and how each of these solutions strives to address these
problems. The RVA monitoring appliance has been architected to store and report on data collected over the complete tape physical environment and reports events in real-time. As an
appliance, it is focused on the physical systems (tape drives, tape library, tape media) - not on the backup or data storage applications.
