Channel Gateways: Mainframe Control Units for EMC|Data Domain 11 dedupfoRoadshowPresentationDedup. FO RS 06. ppt
Channel Gateways Are Robust § Mainframe VT Performance/Throughput: • 250 MB/s+ per gateway – (2)FICON channels § Speeds & Feeds: • Supports 4096 virtual tape devices per channel • Supports 8 Gb/s FICON using industry-supported PCIe HBA’s • Modern 1 or 2 -port PCIe ESCON HBA’s based on patent license • No limits on volsers or ranges • Add storage capacity and bandwidth non-disruptively § Channel Gateways Have No Single Point of Failure • Multiple Channel Gateways attach via NFS & Gig. E or 10 Gig. E • Active – Active Configuration • If a gateway is lost, the remaining gateways will access all data 12 Copyright © 2009 Luminex Software, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Here is how the solution works… Mainframe Channel Gateways Luminex Channel Gateways: Mainframe: Application transparent – non-intrusive • • No MIPS required • • z. OS, MVS, VM, VSE and OS 390 supported Datastream Intelligence optimizes deduplication • Active – Active with NSPOF • Emulates 3480, 3490 or 3590 mainframe tape drives • Works well with all major tape mgnt. systems • Dual PS, Fans & Mirrored OS • SMS, MTL or Esoterics can also be used. • No tape data on gateways 13 NFS attached - EMC|Data Domain Storage EMC|Data Domain: • NFS attached (Not FC VTL) • Mainframe Tape Volumes stored as Unix/NFS files (mainframe volser #’s remain unchanged) • Data Deduplication & Replication for backup/DR • RAID 6 & Data Invulnerability Architecture • Works the same as any other Solaris attached DDR Copyright © 2009 Luminex Software, Inc.
