There are many vendors that have cloud-based tape emulation solutions. For IBM, we offer IBM Cloud Tape Connector for tape emulation and DFSMScdm - Cloud Data Manager for leveraging cloud object storage as another tier of storage for z/OS data. If you belong to SHARE, the various vendors regularly present their solutions.
Also, DFSMSdss and DFSMShsm target cloud object storage directly leveraging S3 protocals, so no additional software is needed for backing up and migrating data to cloud.
