Today's information age began with the invention of the telegraph by Samuel Morse in 1837. And just as the familiar dots and dashes have come to symbolize Morse Code, Innovation Data Processing's FDRSOS and FDR/UPSTREAM/SOS symbolize cost-effective, fast, safe and reliable storage management solutions. This white paper discusses how EMC Corporation and the Symmetrix(R) Enterprise Storage Platform (ESP) are joining forces with Innovation to pave the way for a backup/restore solution for open systems storage to S/390 tape or disk directly across high speed mainframe channels without using network communications.
