BridgeHead Software, developer of the HyperTape enterprise storage management platform, and StorageTek, the leading provider of enterprise information lifecycle management, announced the certification1 of HyperTape on the new StreamLine SL8500 modular library system.
BridgeHead and StorageTek tested the integration driven by ACSLS Manager V7.1 software at the StorageTek Europe test laboratory in Toulouse, France, after their mutual customer GISA, of Halle (Saxony-Anhalt), Germany, announced plans to purchase the SL8500 for its facility. GISA has been a HyperTape/StorageTek customer for many years, and the integration was a critical factor in the decision to upgrade to the new SL8500.
We did our research before we initially purchased the BridgeHead/StorageTek storage solution, and it is crucial that both companies continue to provide an integrated solution, said Jens Gillmeister, system manager for backup and recovery at GISA GmbH. We are pleased that BridgeHeads talented development team continues to provide us with the most robust features and performance advantages coupled with the leading edge StorageTek solutions, continued Gillmeister. GISA plans to install the new SL8500 fully integrated with HyperTape.
We are very pleased that BridgeHead developed an interface to our newest library system, the SL8500, said Cameron van Orman, StorageTek director of Corporate Alliances. We are highly impressed with their technology and we look forward to continuing to work with BridgeHead on other storage solutions.
GISA asked us to provide the interface when they purchased an SL8500 from StorageTek, said Tony Cotterill, CEO at BridgeHead Software. BridgeHeads development team is dedicated to providing software solutions geared to our customers needs, and the HyperTape/StorageTek integration is a key combination, continued Cotterill.
