<div><p>As your company produces a greater volume of information, and as
|
||
|
|
the value of that information grows, the methods you use to protect and preserve
|
||
|
|
it become vital corporate strategies. Storage has gone from being a feature
|
||
|
|
of a server to being an entity unto itself.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>It performs several valuable functions within your enterprise, including
|
||
|
|
the following:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li> <strong>Availability.</strong> Your storage solution must enable you to access
|
||
|
|
your data when you need it, without exception. In some settings, such as a
|
||
|
|
hospital, access to data can mean the difference between life and death.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li> <strong>Integrity.</strong> Your data must be in exactly the same condition when
|
||
|
|
it returns to you as it was when it was stored. That means it must be safe
|
||
|
|
from corruption, loss, and outside attack.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li> <strong>Recoverability.</strong> Your storage solution should ensure that you can
|
||
|
|
recover your data in the event of a natural disaster, such as a fire, flood,
|
||
|
|
or tornado.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>The purpose of this topic is to step you through the world of iSeries™ storage
|
||
|
|
and help you make choices about which storage technologies are right for your
|
||
|
|
company now, and which may be useful in the future.</p>

This topic describes the advantages and limitations of using tape for storage. It makes some recommendations about when tape is a good choice and when you should consider other media. It also provides planning, setup, management, and troubleshooting information for stand-alone tape devices and tape libraries.</li>

|

|
|
Virtual storage consists of objects that, when used together, imitate
|
||
|
|
tape, CD, DVD, and write-once read-many (WORM) media on your disk units. The
|
||
|
|
imitated media appear to the server to be <em>actual</em> media.</li>
