| One might
believe that the day of the IBM mainframe has past, but in fact
the demand for access to mainframe data is increasing. Capacity
planners are searching for ways to add DASD and improve the speed
and performance of intensive TCP/IP-based applications while decreasing
the costs for data center operations. With Luminex's IBM mainframe
I/O and control unit emulation you can now take advantage of less
expensive opens systems storage for IBM and plug compatible mainframes.
Mainframe storage used to mean proprietary hardware
at a premium price. Moreover, management had to manage two pools
of storage - mainframe DASD and open systems disk, tape and SANs.
Luminex's Virtual/BLUE products offer to IBM and
plug compatible mainframes the opportunity to overcome the proprietary
limitations and the management gap.
