Geisinger Health Systems upgraded its IT environment with a Sun StorageTek tape solution that strengthened the organization's regulatory compliance while improving performance and data integrity at its primary and remote datacenter sites. The new back up and recovery solution stores and encrypts healthcare records from its mainframe system for more than two million patients.
IDC Worldwide Tape QView Q2 CY09 reports Sun earned the most for tape storage automation revenue during the first half of calendar year 2009. Sun saw growth within its installed base as well as with new customers. "Sun StorageTek does not make autoloaders or entry automation and has the number one market position on the basis of the strength of its SL500, SL3000, and SL8500 midrange and enterprise automation," the IDC report states.
Sun StorageTek tape libraries received the top Quality Award in both the midrange and enterprise categories from Storage Magazine. This is the third time Sun finished first in the enterprise grouping of the service and reliability survey, and the second win in the midrange competition. The Storage Magazine Quality Awards are designed to identify and recognize products that have proven their quality and reliability in actual use. Results are derived from a survey of its qualified readers.
Sun QFS and Sun Storage Archive Manager (SAM) 5.0 software is now available. The SAM-QFS environment includes a storage and archive manager along with Sun QFS file system software, which is a high-performance file system, ensuring that data is available at device-rated speeds when requested by one or more users. This latest release offers easier administration features along with more management tools, Solaris feature integration, performance features, scalability features, and more supported storage.
The Sun StorageTek SL3000 Tape Library now offers the Access Expansion Module (AEM) as an option for customers needing higher availability and scalability. The AEM provides users with the ability to non-disruptively service a downed robot in the SL3000 library for increased availability of the library - especially important for customers requiring no downtime in their operations. This new option also has 234 CAP slots for bulk load and unload of media.
