Copy and move mainframe data to private or public cloud storage or on-prem storage appliances.
In today's data-driven landscape, storage volumes are experiencing exponential growth, and data is being retained for longer durations than ever before. Mainframes are estimated to handle a substantial portion, between 70% and 80%, of the world's data. As data continues to expand, it presents several challenges, including:
· Escalating storage costs
· Impacting the overall health of data environments
· Straining the capabilities of legacy storage solutions
· Adding complexity to compliance requirements
To address these challenges, moving non-essential mainframe data to Azure Blob Storage can significantly reduce storage costs. Additionally, utilizing Azure Blob Storage as a secondary storage option allows for seamless data recovery to any disaster recovery site.
Rocket® Cloud Connector, provides modern hybrid cloud storage capabilities for z/OS, enabling the efficient transfer and management of mainframe data to private or public cloud storage, including Azure Blob Storage, as well as on-premises storage appliances. This powerful tool empowers you to enhance the economics of z/OS backup and recovery or archiving processes, while bolstering your overall business resiliency in a data-centric era.
Key Features:
With Rocket Cloud Connector, you can:
Recover data anywhere: Store z/OS data backups in Azure Blob Storage, ensuring the ability to recover data to any disaster recovery site, offering peace of mind in the face of unforeseen events.
Accelerate processing: Optimize processing time by leveraging zEDC and zIIP for specific components, reducing reliance on general-purpose processors and lowering operational costs.
Maintain job continuity: Seamlessly maintain your existing tape jobs by simply redirecting them to Cloud Connector, eliminating the need for extensive job rewriting.
Ensure transparency: Move z/OS datasets and tape volumes while ensuring continuity for existing batch jobs and applications that rely on tape devices, minimizing disruptions.
Maintain data security: Enhance data security by optionally transferring only encrypted data off the platform, providing an additional layer of protection for your sensitive information.
With Rocket Cloud Connector, you can efficiently manage your mainframe data, reduce storage costs, and improve data recovery capabilities, all while maintaining the integrity of your existing operations. Elevate your mainframe data management to the next level and embrace the future of cloud storage with confidence.
