The Enterprise Data De-Duplication Company                         1.508.663.1300

How It Works

VTF Mainframe emulates IBM-compatible tape processing for the z/OS environment. Selected tape data sets are maintained transparently as disk data sets.

  • Non-Disruptive Deployment. Operating with standard disk storage subsystem hardware, no application changes or additional operators are required. VTF is completely transparent to the host, applications, tape management systems, and users.
  • Tape As Disk. Users select the tape data to be handled by VTF. When tape I/Os are issued, VTF emulates the entire tape process. While the created tape data sets are stored on disk, the application and the tape management system continue to interact with them as tape data sets.
