Next-generation data protection
EMC® Data Domain® deduplication storage systems have revolutionized disk backup and
remote office data protection with high-speed, inline deduplication. Backup data can be
reduced in size by an average of 10-30x, so disk backup storage is now cost-effective for
onsite retention and highly efficient for network-based replication to disaster recovery sites.
The EMC Bus-Tech® and EMC Data Domain mainframe backup solution brings the operational
and cost benefits associated with Data Domain systems into IBM mainframe environments.
MAINFRAME READY
The Bus-Tech and Data Domain mainframe backup solution provides connectivity between a
Data Domain system and an IBM mainframe over IBM FICON or ESCON channels. With native
IBM 3480, 3490, and 3590 tape drive emulation, you can leverage a Data Domain system in
z/OS, z/VM or z/VSE environments.

solution overview
The Bus-Tech and Data Domain mainframe backup solution works with the leading mainframe backup products including IBM DSS and Innovation Data Processing FDR and all leading Tape Management Systems including IBM RMM, CA-1, TLMS, BMC CONTROL-T, ASG ZARA, VM/Tape and BIM-EPIC.
Scalable Deduplication Storage
All Data Domain systems derive their performance advantages from the EMC Data Domain
Stream-Informed Segment Layout (SISLTM) scaling architecture. This CPU-centric approach
minimizes the number of disk spindles required to achieve the throughput performance
needed for critical single-stream operations. Data Domain systems save significant physical
storage capacity by substituting small references for each identical redundant sequence,
enabling cost-efficient retention on disk for fast, reliable recoveries. In addition, the Mainframe Data Library’s data stream recognition feature optimizes deduplication effectiveness. This solution combines Data Domain and Bus-Tech technology to provide fast
and efficient mainframe backup.
Data Domain systems integrate easily with existing infrastructures and can be used seamlessly with a variety of data movers and application workloads. By consolidating to a
common disk-based target for open systems and mainframe environments, you can avoid
creating disparate islands of data and storage. A single Data Domain system can be used for backup and recovery, protection of enterprise applications, archiving and online reference storage.
MULTI-SITE DISASTER RECOVERY
EMC Data Domain Replicator software enables network-efficient and encrypted replication to
one or more disaster recovery sites. Datasets are effectively shrunk by up to 99 percent, to a
size where network-based replication is fast and reliable. If confidentiality is required data
can be encrypted in-flight when being replicated between Data Domain systems.
Leveraging snapshot technology found in Data Domain systems, you can perform complete
end-to-end DR testing with read/write capabilities on all tape data at the target site. This
enables you to have 100 percent confidence in your DR readiness. In addition, replication
continues uninterrupted during DR testing. When testing is complete, the snapshot is simply
deleted without affecting the existing backup tape volumes.
Ultra-safe storage for reliable recovery
Tape files are protected using the EMC Data Domain Data Invulnerability Architecture which
provides continuous recovery verification and continuously detects and protects against data
integrity issues during the initial backup and throughout the data lifecycle. In addition, dual
Mainframe Data Libraries can be configured to provide redundant mainframe connectivity. In
the unlikely event of a Mainframe Data Library failure, the surviving Mainframe Data Library
remains operational allowing the mainframe to access all of the tape libraries.
