With Vertices, we leverage our vast tracking tape experience in legacy-class tracking tape to create scalable tracking tape solutions for all your media-tracking needs. Vertices is a media management system (MMS) that stores, moves, tracks, and protects your data center's media. With Vertices, you gain tracking tape control over any media resource, from DLTs to CDs and DATs. Vertices tracking tape 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 tracking tape. Vertices unifies all your tracking tape locations into a centralized tracking tape 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 tracking tape software solution for your media-tracking needs. Our Vertices software handles tracking tape information about all your removable media and mission-critical data, no matter where you generate those data or where you store them. Using the tracking tape information it captures, Vertices then directs the tracking tape 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 tracking tape information. Vertices allows you to track media from primary storage to supplemental storage to offsite facilities and back. It allows you to set tracking tape 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 tracking tape activities, and on every segment of data you store on your media. With Vertices you attain maximum control over your tracking tape while reducing resource costs and enhancing the data center's responses to information requests. From tracking tape tracking mechanisms to automated logging to vault management to variable retentions, Vertices is your solution.
