(NYSE: QTM) today announced an agreement to offer North American customers a joint solution for large enterprise and mainframe backup and archive storage that encompasses best-in-class disk and tape technologies.

[Suggested tweet: Mainframe #dataprotection gets a makeover http://qntm.co/FujitsuQuantum courtesy of @FujitsuAmerica @QuantumCorp] The Need to Protect Mainframe Applications The combination of Fujitsu ETERNUS CS8000 backup and Quantum Scalar LTO tape archive enables mainframe customers to address storage workflow challenges and better manage their data storage requirements and costs. Together, these technologies use a tiered approach that leverages primary disk, deduplicated disk backup and archive tape to balance access speed with capacity needs and cost requirements. This allows enterprises seeking to consolidate legacy mainframe VTLs to replace old, proprietary tape libraries with more economical deduplication and LTO tape. The Fujitsu ETERNUS CS8000 is a unified data protection appliance that incorporates Quantum's deduplication technology to consolidate backup and archiving infrastructures of open systems and mainframes. Quantum's Scalar tape libraries are the industry's most intelligent automated tape libraries, with built-in proactive diagnostics, intuitive management features to reduce operating expenses, and policy-based data integrity checking to ensure valuable data archived on tape can be recovered.
