Executive
Summary
The
SecureAgent® Secure
Data Solution®
(SDS) is a patented and patent-pending high performance
virtual tape and disaster recovery system that allows an
organization to efficiently store and retrieve compressed
and encrypted virtual tape images (VTIs). The SDS appears
as tape units to attached computer systems; however in
actuality, the virtual
tape images are compressed and encrypted files that
permanently reside on the Secure Data Solution’s
disk arrays.
They can also be transmitted to any other remote Secure
Data Solutions site for disaster recovery purposes, or
can be shared by applications that can process these VTIs
residing on computers systems that are connected to the
SDS at these remote sites. The Secure Data Solution
emulates commonly installed tape drive. It can be
connected to large-scale IBM® mainframes that utilize the MVS
or VSE operating systems, IBM AS/400s, and Open Systems
such as Solaris, Linux and UNIX platforms and supports
TSM. A single Secure Data Solution can store tape images
that have been created by any combination of these
supported systems and drives. This gives any organization
the best available security tailored to its needs.
Alternatively, SDS Data Mover will transmit the encrypted
data via IP-based network to DASD arrays at remote sites.
At these remote sites, the virtual tapes can be converted
and written to real tapes. SDS normally resides in a
standard communication rack and requires very few
resources. Remote SDS can be installed anywhere according
to customer's needs.
A single operator can manage the entire system. SDS grows
with the organizations needs and always protects prior
investments. Just add the necessary storage or the
necessary SDS Client Interfaces to support additional
sites, different systems and storage. The whole solution
is easily field upgradable with no planned
obsolescence.
The Secure Data Solution is not only very cost effective
and extremely scalable it also fits to any need and
size.
By eliminating manual handling and transportation of
tapes staff can be saved.
It also avoids the risk of theft and loss of data and
guarantees reliable and rapid access to data. Data will
always be stored or transmitted only in encrypted form.
All this together with foolproof mounting and handling of
tapes makes SDS to an unmatched solution for secure
storing, recovering and archiving enterprise
data.
