Oracle StorageTek Virtual Library Extension (VLE) - a storage system of the second level which optimizes operation of tape drives in environments of mainframes. Availability of tape solutions for mainframes of IBM increased five times, having provided customers with reliability of the enterprise level, so necessary for them.
Integrated solution for mainframes based on three-level approach to data storage (the disks FC, disks of SAS and tape drives) which simplifies management and also provides the best performance and the lowest level of costs in comparison with proposals of other suppliers.
The new StorageTek Virtual Library Extension system allows customers with smaller costs and during more long time to store active data on disks before transferring them to a tape for long-term storage. Thanks to integration of the third level of data storage (on tape drives) customers will be able to reduce twice costs in comparison with solutions in which only disk storage modules are used.
The StorageTek Virtual Library Extension system expands the product StorageTek family of Oracle company integrating about the scalablest, power - and cost-efficient solutions for protection, consolidation and archiving of data in heterogeneous environments.
Tape libraries StorageTek support work both with mainframes, and with open systems within one library, providing the integrated data protection using the database machine Oracle Exadata Database Machine, software solutions Oracle 11g Recovery Manager and Oracle Secure Backup working running Oracle Solaris, Oracle Linux and other operating systems and also products for management of open systems of data storage and storage systems for mainframes.
When using the StorageTek Virtual Library Extension system in the environment of Virtual Storage Manager customers receive extra disk space to 3.5 PB that provides smoother scaling for effective management of the growing amount of data and also increases performance at simultaneous cost reduction. Thus the scalability in comparison with other virtual tape solutions doubles that allows to cope with the growing workloads better.
The Virtual Storage Manager/Virtual Library Extension integrated environment is the only virtual tape solution for mainframes with the single interface of management based on the politician allowing to move data between different levels of high-performance disks, disks of high capacity and tape drives.
The StorageTek Virtual Library Extension system provides the maximum protection and data availability due to unique architecture of Virtual Storage Manager providing runtime allocation and data protection at the different levels of storage system and on different carriers without use of resources of the mainframe. In a new system the Oracle Solaris ZFS technology with the Triple-Parity RAID-Z3 function which increases reliability of data in comparison with the systems of IBM using RAID-6 five times is used.
The Oracle Virtual Library Extension/Virtual Storage Manager environment in combination with a portfolio of the leading tape solutions of Oracle allows to double scalability in comparison with virtual tape solutions of IBM for mainframes and more than five times to increase it in comparison with the automated tape solutions of IBM.
