What is VirtualZ Instant Mainframe Storage?
VirtualZ Instant Mainframe Storage offers everything organizations need to leverage cloud storage as if it were traditional physical mainframe storage.
Our innovative solution eliminates the need for costly physical storage investments, long shipping times, and complicated setup processes.
With Instant Mainframe Storage, businesses can quickly configure cloud storage solutions and have their mainframe storage operational in no time, all at a fraction of the cost.
Key Features
- Secure Storage On Demand: Organizations can connect IBM Z mainframe applications directly to cloud storage, enabling them to provision additional storage rapidly without the need for physical devices or complex configurations.
- Cost-Effective Solution: By utilizing cloud storage as a backend, customers benefit from low-cost pricing models, paying only for the storage they actually use. This approach can lead to significant savings compared to traditional mainframe storage options, which often involve expensive Direct Access Storage Device (DASD) purchases and maintenance.
- No-Code, Out-of-the-Box Integration: Instant Mainframe Storage is a no-code solution that installs and operates seamlessly. There’s no need for custom code or complicated configurations; mainframe applications gain real-time, read-write access to data stored in the cloud.
- Flexible Storage Options: Our solution allows organizations to use cloud-stored data as if it were traditional mainframe DASD, offering both virtual disk and tape options. This flexibility enables organizations to tailor their storage configurations based on specific needs, such as disaster recovery, backups, or high-performance storage.
- Scalable and Resilient Storage: With cloud storage, organizations can enjoy unlimited scalability and high durability for their data. Instant Mainframe Storage ensures that businesses can scale their storage capacity as needed without concerns about data loss or corruption.
- Enhanced Security and Compliance: By leveraging existing mainframe security protocols, Instant Mainframe Storage ensures secure access to cloud-stored data. It supports various security measures, including encryption, authentication, and authorization, maintaining compliance with industry standards.
