By 2025, 35% of data center mainframe storage capacity for backup and archive will be deployed on the cloud to reduce costs and improve agility, which is an increase from less than 5% in 2020. -- Analyst Jeff Vogel, September 2020
Model9 is helping enterprises bridge the gap between mainframe and cloud. Every F500 and Global 2000 enterprise has cloud transformation initiatives while running mainframes as their core business platform. Public cloud providers are anxious for large enterprises to migrate but have no offerings for mainframes.
Model9 Cloud Data Manager for Mainframe helps reduce costs, modernizes mainframes, offers a full data protection solution, enables cloud transformation, improves performance, provides high availability and disaster recovery, and ease of use.
Cloud storage is 3x cheaper than proprietary tape storage. Consolidated software eliminates the need for backup management, tape management, tape security, and reporting software. MSU-based software license charges reduce peak MSU and total monthly MSU consumption by offloading more than 60% of data management processing to zIIPs.
Model9's product vision is centered on offering large enterprises that need to modernize mission-critical mainframe platforms as part of their cloud initiative by offering a seamless software-based solution to discover, mover, transform, and manage data in the private or public cloud.
As an alternative to complex mainframe migration projects, Model9 enables direct access to mainframe data from any cloud without affecting applications and by optimizing resources so tapes and virtual tape libraries are no longer needed.
