“Luminex’s Channel Gateway Enables Mainframe Data De-Duplication and Tapeless Backup!”

Learn how mainframe customers utilize Luminex’s Channel Gateway to achieve 20-to-1 or greater compression for efficient backup and cost-effective disaster recovery. Luminex’s Channel Gateway products provide native FICON and ESCON mainframe tape connectivity for the data duplication technologies from the leading vendor Data Domain to provide efficient, reliable tapeless mainframe backup.
