Configurations
High-Volume Application
For environments that generate a large number
of tapes, the Secure Data Solution® can write the
compressed and encrypted data directly to a fibre
channel-attached 3590-model tape drive, without
additional handling by the host.
The resulting tapes can then be transported to an
off-site storage location. This configuration requires
channel-attached devices that handle the compression and
encryption, as well as control the writing of the tape
images to the tape drives.
High-Volume Application
High-Volume, Off-Site
Application
Another possible configuration allows you to transmit the
compressed and encrypted data over
a network to an off-site storage location, where it is
written to tape (or DVDs).
High-Volume Off-Site
Application
Both the cost and time associated with transporting tapes
are avoided completely —backup
data is available almost immediately and at no additional
cost.
