Leon 3: Leon Likes Continuous Availability
With the manufacturer's announcement (see below) of the Services Withdrawal (End of Support) for 3590 physical tape drives, we'd like to highlight our success with transitioning many mainframe data centers to 3590 virtual tape. Luminex's 3590 Mainframe Virtual Tape is application transparent, so no changes are required in tape applications for batch processing, HSM, archiving, backup or recovery.
