ALTANA Pharma is a division of ALTANA AG, an international company with more than 10,000 employees, 30 subsidiaries and operations in Europe, North and South America, South Africa, Asia and Australia. ALTANA Pharma saw an opportunity to secure its VMS/Open environment, and to create the possibility for a single backup solution for the future. Working with Comparex, ALTANA Pharma implemented an IBM eServer pSeries storage server running IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.1, with an IBM TotalStorage UltraScalable Tape Library 3584 (Linear Tape-Open) with five LTO tape drives. This solution provides storage for nine VMS/Open clients, and enables ALTANA Pharma to backup research data more securely than previously. tech news

More and more companies face storage capacity requirements that are increasing at a tremendous pace. For enterprise class storage systems with large capacity, high-end disk drives, such as Fibre Channel (FC) drives, often account for a major portion of the total cost of the system. Consequently, and for specific storage applications, companies are seeking cheaper alternatives to FC disks, but without sacrificing too much in performance, availability, and reliability. This paper gives a brief overview of the Serial ATA technology and discusses when it is appropriate to use Serial ATA in a networked storage environment. It also describes the IBM TotalStorage FAStT EXP100 expansion unit with Serial ATA disks and some solution deployment scenarios. tech news
