Tape Consolidation in the Enterprise

Overview The proliferation of data and the inefficacy of distributed and disjointed storage management resources - including tape backup capabilities - are contributing to a high total cost of ownership for storage in most organizations. Strategies for consolidation and resource sharing are being implemented to achieve greater cost/efficiencies in data management and to reduce the risk of data loss and multiple backup applications is a driver not only of increased storage management costs, but also increased risk to data. This whitepaper discusses the StorageTek SN6000 with Virtual Transport Management, a network-based, tape virtualization and sharing solution in the market. SN6000 promises to become a foundation for organizations seeking a more manageable storage infrastructure.
