Radical optimization with ETERNUS CS8000
⇒  Cost reduction and investment protection
⇒  Ensure the SLAs
In the TSM environment
n  Reduce number of costly tape
drives (= reduce CAPEX)
n  Reduce required costly disk
capacity (= reduce CAPEX)
n  Reduce the management effort
through automation
(= reduce OPEX)
n  All at the same time with
improving and ensuring the
required SLAs
The Unified data protection appliance
n  Consolidation of open systems and mainframe
environments
n  Heterogeneous environments (front-end and backend e.g. backup SW, applications, VM environments,
different tape libraries/technologies)
n  Investment protection even when priorities change
(e.g. less mainframe, more open system) including
future requirements (archiving, secondary-storage)
n  Scale-out with a single system (adjust capacity and
performance according to your business needs)

ETERNUS CS8000 at PFA
Easy Tape migration
Bo Rønne, System Consultant, PFA
“Migration of historical data, from
older data media to new data
media, was done in a elegant and
secure way, do to the intelligent
possibilities in CS8000, this was
done with support from highly
qualified and experienced experts
from Fujitsu”
Søren Thomns, Senior Consultant, Fujitsu
“By PFA we in the fact did a tape change 2 times,
First time it was from Magstar to LTO 2, second time from LTO 2 to LTO 4.
Both times we did use the DUAL SAVE function in the CS8800 system.
We implemented the new tape device in the robotic and created then a new
physically tape pool. There after we assigned the “old” logically tape pool to
the “old” physically and the new physically tape pool.
After this assignment the CS8000 will automatically write the logical volume
on the “old” physically volume AND on the new physically volume.
To speed up the process we started a reorg run on all logical volumes (reorg is
read a physical volume, and writ it on a new), and when CS is writing it detect
that there is a dual save.
All is done in the CS8000, therefor no load on any servers and channels.”
