Do you ever feel like you’re stranded on NonStop Island when you’re trying to manage your
systems in the enterprise? Forget talking to “Wilson”; instead consolidate your backup storage
environment across all platforms with:

3. The Storage Director product by Tributary Systems is a policy-based data management solution
that connects “any host to any storage technology” and applies appropriate protective,
management and archival services to data in a unique and business-savvy way.
Tributary Systems is an HP Converged Infrastructure Ready Solutions Partner!
With Tributary Systems' Storage Director, enterprises can apply data policies down to individual
data volumes on host platforms (such as HP NonStop), based on business criteria and
importance to business resiliency and restoration.
In enterprises with multiple host platforms – HP NonStop, HP Open VMS, Windows and
VMware are running HP Data Protector, IBM zOS mainframes, IBM AS/400s (now IBM
PowerSystems), among others – Storage Director enables sharing storage technologies
otherwise dedicated to each host platform.
Such storage technologies can include existing enterprise storage disk, HP StoreOnce, EMC Data
Domain, and Quantum DXI data de-duplication devices, physical tape, or any combination of
storage technologies dictated by individual data management needs.
Storage Director is currently deployed in production environments backing up HP NonStop,
IBM Mainframes, and IBM AS/400 (now IBM PowerSystems) Servers simultaneously.
Such a unified approach improves storage performance, enables consolidation and can lead to
real savings of time, power and most importantly staff.
Storage Director offers numerous compelling features for NonStop customers:
 Virtualizes and consolidates data backup to a single storage target in any heterogeneous
datacenter
 Designed for high availability computing environments and meets or exceeds data
backup requirements for speed, capacity, compatibility and reliability
 Full tape library management capabilities, allowing not only tape drive but also back-
end physical tape library connection
 Tape stacking, caching, data management, replication, monitoring and alerting
capabilities are provided
 Capability to be a pass through device provides seamless integration of disk, tape and
fully supports HP StoreOnce, EMC Data Domain and Quantum DXI de-duplication
technologies
 Utilizes AES 256 bit encryption and supports LZ compression in cache
 Non-disruptive to existing backup environments and NonStop applications
 Fully supports NonStop native tape format
 Supports iSCSI, Fibre Channel and NAS attachment to storage devices
 Supports NonStop host IOAME/VIO/CLIM FC attachment
 Employs a user friendly web-based GUI
Another important capability Storage Director provides is the ability to meet physical tape, de-
duplication and remote site replication. This is a fully tested configuration which allows
NonStop customers to use the replication features inherent in data backup systems.
