ROBAR (BS2000/OSD)
An automated robotic cartridge mounting, retrieval and return system linked to BS2000 hosts
Announced version: V6.5
Current version: V6.0
In data centers with large data volumes there is usually a great number of magnetic media. For large-scale configurations manual methods of tape processing require an inordinate amount of time and effort for the handling and archiving of tapes.
Fujitsu BS2000/OSD ROBAR automates the media management on BS2000 servers in combination with virtual (Fujitsu ETERNUS CS High End) and real (Quantum) archiving systems.
This virtualization and ROBAR-automation provide customers with key economic benefits:
- Reduction of operation-failures via automation.
- Optimum use of tape drives and media.
- Increased performance of MTC processing through parallelization.
- Improved capacity exploitation for high-capacity media.
- Higher availability via failover-configurations and failover-automation.
