With Vertices, you gain off-site tape storage control over any media resource, from DLTs to CDs and DATs. Vertices off-site tape storage identifies what is on those media, when you acquired the data, how long you should keep the data, when you should replace the media - all the information you need to comprehensively manage your media library off-site tape storage. Vertices unifies all your off-site tape storage locations into a centralized off-site tape storage database. It bars unauthorized access to your media records. And Vertices prevents the inadvertent or premature purging of media. Vertices is an integrated, easy-to-use off-site tape storage software solution for your media-tracking needs. Our Vertices software handles off-site tape storage information about all your removable media and mission-critical data, no matter where you generate those data or where you store them. Using the off-site tape storage information it captures, Vertices then directs the off-site tape storage actions you take to handle and control the physical media. Vertices can even be integrated with your open systems backup solution to automatically log your backup media, giving you greater control and assuring the most accurate off-site tape storage information. Vertices allows you to track media from primary storage to supplemental storage to offsite facilities and back. It allows you to set off-site tape storage retention periods by time, by number of copies, by ad-hoc designation, or by a combination of those options. It provides reports on every detail of its off-site tape storage activities, and on every segment of data you store on your media. With Vertices you attain maximum control over your off-site tape storage while reducing resource costs and enhancing the data center's responses to information requests. From off-site tape storage tracking mechanisms to automated logging to vault management to variable retentions, Vertices is your solution.
