Gadi, In South Africa we have installed Luminex VTL / Data Domain solutions for mainframe customers and it works very well. The Data Domain is not mandatory and could be replaced with less expensive disk as Luminex now has replication and compression capabilities, this would make it a cheaper solution.

Sent: Sunday, June 09, 2013 9:28 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Choosing a tape library Hi, I was asked to help choose a tape library for our system. We currently have 4 3590’s connected to an 3590-a60 using ESCON. We have a z114-I04 running z/OS 1.13. We use tapes for backing up full volumes disks using DFSMSdss, and for ADABAS backups. These tapes are shipped to the DR site. Tapes are managed using CA-1.
