That's not my understanding. To my knowledge all of the products I listed 
are physical tape "agnostic." You can have physical tape drives/cartridges 
on premises or not, per whatever requirements you have.

As for "enabling direct access to mainframe data from cloud applications," 
I don't think you're providing "direct" access to mainframe data. You're 
actually facilitating access to time lagged mainframe data (i.e. a 
replicated copy), with lots of considerations to take into account of 
course, including security considerations. "Cloud data replication" (and 
synchronization) is a competitive market segment and definitely not a new 
one. There are various fundamental, growing concerns and challenges with 
additional data copies.

To get direct access to *live* mainframe data from cloud applications 
(which could be running on IBM Z machines too of course) the typical 
solution pattern involves data virtualization, and that's a competitive 
market segment, too. IBM Data Virtualization Manager for z/OS is an 
example of a product squarely in that category.

Data virtualization and data replication are not mutually exclusive.

By the way, I should have included z/VSE's VTAPE in my previous list of 
examples. IBM introduced VTAPE in VSE/ESA 2.6 (generally available on 
December 14, 2001) and has considerably enhanced it subsequently. It might 
have even been backported to earlier VSE/ESA releases. VTAPE is available 
at no additional charge to VSE/ESA and z/VSE licensees. See the relevant 
links on this page for details:

https://www.ibm.com/it-infrastructure/z/zvse-downloads

There are some z/VSE VTAPE compatible utilities available for z/OS here:

http://www.cbttape.org/awstape.htm

z/VSE VTAPE is interoperable with Encryption Facility for z/VSE and with 
IBM Spectrum Protect (and its predecessor Tivoli Storage Manager).

Hi Timothy,
Thanks for the list. In my understanding all the products and offerings you
listed consider cloud storage as an additional tier on top of tape, while
Model9 is in a different segment of the storage market where cloud storage
is considered an alternative to tape and as a mean for enabling direct
access to mainframe data from cloud applications (and all cloud providers
support storing the data on tape when appropriate).

For the record, this segment of the storage market is quite competitive. 
Examples of other products and offerings include:

IBM Cloud Tape Connector for z/OS
IBM DS8880/DS8900 and z/OS DFSMShsm Transparent Cloud Tiering
RecoveryPoint z/Archive (which uses the previous one)
Luminex CloudTAPE
Compuware (Innovation Data Processing) CloudVTB
Dell EMC DLm

...and that's very likely not a complete list.
