Native support for LTO Gen 3 WORM Tape

 

Copy services—Provides extensive on-board and out-board disaster recovery data protection features

 

Flexibility—Application program interface (API) client program makes it easy to integrate ISV Content

 

 

 

Management applications

 

 

 

Synchronous Replication—Supports Metro Mirroring allowing two real-time synchronized copies of the data to

 

 

 

be maintained on DR550s in separate locations.

 

 

 

Disaster Recovery support—DR550 protects customer data during disasters. The DR550 solution allows busi-

 

 

 

nesses to use tape libraries with advanced LTO Gen 3 tape drives with WORM capabilities to provide efficient

 

 

 

and cost effective replication of data objects.

 

 

 

Operating in conjunction with an enterprise content-management product like IBM DB2 Content Manager for

 

 

 

Message Monitoring and Retention (CM MMR) helps enable centralized management through a single inter-

 

 

 

face to support storage allocation and address application demands.
