Digital DLT Tape Subsystem Family
to be Supported by IBM ADSTAR Distributed Storage Manager
Increased Flexibility and Reliability for Desktop and Workstation
Users in Networked Environments
MAYNARD, Mass., March 20, 1996 -- Digital Equipment Corporation
today announced that its DLT tape subsystems family will be
supported by ADSTAR Distributed Storage Manager (ADSM) for AIX,
Version 2.1. IBM's ADSM software provides automated distributed
storage management, including back-up and recovery, archiving, and
hierarchical storage management (HSM) in heterogeneous computing
environments with desktop to data center scalability.
"By providing support for StorageWorks we are visibly
broadening the choice of storage subsystems for our ADSM customers"
said Nora Denzel, director of storage software products, IBM Storage
Systems Division.
ADSM software support will be available in the second quarter
of 1996 by PTF update for Digital's TZ87, TZ87N, TZ875, TZ877,
TZ877N, SXTL-Bn, TZ88, TZ885, TZ887 and SWXTL-Cn Tape Drive Families
on the AIX platform. IBM plans also to extend this support of
Digital's DLT loaders on additional ADSM servers including OS/2 and
SUN.
Digital's DLT loaders offer unattended backup with industry-
leading capacities (20GB or 40GB per cartridge with compression) and
high performance (up to 7GB/hour) with up to 2.5 MB/s sustained data
transfer rate. Package options include the tabletop and
StorageWorks building block drives, 5 and 7 cartridge loaders for
Digital systems and other leading system manufacturers.
"IBM's support of StorageWorks will enable AIX users to take
full advantage of the modular, scalable design of the StorageWorks
product line when using ADSM storage management software," said
Robert Rennick, vice president and general manager, Storage Business
Unit, Digital Equipment Corporation.
StorageWorks products are available on multiple operating
systems and hardware platforms, including Digital, Hewlett-Packard,
IBM and Sun servers and workstations, and Novell and Windows NT
environments. Products are available through DECdirect, Digital's
