  • Electronic Storage Taps Japanese Reseller to Carry LaserVault UBD

    April 15, 2014 Alex Woodie

    Electronic Storage Corp., the company behind the LaserVault line of backup products, announced that Sanwa Comtec has expanded its product offerings and is now carrying the LaserVault Universal Backup Device (UBD) products in Japan and India.

    El Store and Sanwa Comtec previously had a relationship for LaserVault Backup, the Tulsa, Oklahoma, company’s software-based backup offering. In late March, the pair expanded their relationship when the Tokyo IT services firm announced it would start selling the LaserVault UBD to its clients.

    The UBD appliance was launched in late 2010 to provide IBM i and Linux shops with a low-cost and easy-to-use alternative to a virtual tape library (VTL). The appliance is an X86 server that connects to the IBM i or Linux server via Fibre Channel and provides terabytes of RAID-protected storage.

    “I believe this new product, LaserVault UBD, has great possibilities and we want to extensively develop the market in tandem with LaserVault,” Sanwa Comtec CEO Shinichiro Kakizawa said in a statement. The company’s general manager of solution sales, Satoshi Tojoh, added that with transfer speeds (409 MB/second) exceeding LTO5, the product “responds to the user needs in the era of big data.”

    In addition to the LaserVault UBD appliance and the LaserVault Backup software offering, Electronic Storage Corp. also sells UBD Synch, which is an add-on to the UBD appliance that provides replication of compressed and encrypted backup data from a primary UBD appliance to a secondary UBD appliance, or to a separate NAS file server. The company launched that product in late 2013.

    When it comes to consuming web APIs on your IBM i, your options often boil down to one of two things:

    First, you end up having to rely on a variety of open source and non-RPG solutions. This adds developer complexity, taking away time that could have been better spent invested in other projects. Of course, open source software is free, but generally comes at the cost of no professional support, which adds an element of risk in your production environment. RXS is completely professionally supported, and is complemented by a staff of trained IBM i developers who can address your nuanced development challenges, head on.

    Second, if you choose not to pursue an open-source solution, you’re often left having to shake up your current program architecture with proprietary software, external dependencies, and partial RPG implementations – many of which are sub-par compared to RPG-XML Suite’s wide range of features. RXS aims to simplify the efforts of developers with tools like code generators, useful commands, and subprocedures written in 100% RPG – no Java. Because they are entirely RPG, the RXS subprocedures are easy to add to new or existing ILE programs and architecture, helping to cut your development time. RPG-XML Suite offers powerful capabilities in an accessible, easy-to-implement format.

    With RPG-XML Suite, you can accomplish a variety of complex tasks, such as:

    • Calling REST and SOAP web services from your IBM i
    • Offering APIs from your IBM i
    • Creating JSON & XML
    • Parsing JSON & XML
    • Text manipulation, Base64 encoding/decoding, CCSID handling, hashing and encryption functions, and more.

    To try RXS for yourself, we recommend a free proof of concept, which not only gives you access to all of RPG-XML Suite’s subprocedures and utilities but also includes a tailor-made software demonstration that can be used as a starting point for your future API implementations.

    For a free proof of concept, contact us at sales@krengeltech.com, or visit our website for more information.
