Atlanta (September 13, 2002) – Since its release less than one year ago, MediaMerge/UNIX has quickly become the product of choice for Unix users looking to restore, convert and duplicate data via a SCSI attached device totally from within the Unix environment.
Designed for seamless data interchange between legacy, incompatible and current SCSI storage technology, MM/UNIX is compatible with most leading SCSI tape drives. It can automatically detect, process and restore hundreds of different tape formats. Data can be Bit converted from ASCII to EBCDIC or visa-versa, and can optionally have Packed Decimal Fields decoded as well as other types of record based data manipulation. Other benefits include: Forensic Tape Logging, tape-to-tape duplication, tape initialization and media testing.
Two recent installs have won eMag accolades from our customers.
CompuCredit
Alan Borchers, the Data Operations Manager writes:
CompuCredit receives a variety of computer media tapes and uses both Microsoft NT and Unix operating systems for processing data received on these tapes. Recently our company purchased a new IBM 3590 tape reader, which was to be connected to a Sun server in the Unix operating system.
While we could read fixed length files using Unix commands from the new tape drive, our largest and most important file, a multi-gigabytes file, was formatted with variable record lengths. As such, the file could not be read into our system!
The solution to our problem came from eMag Solutions and one of their products called, MM/UNIX. eMag allowed CompuCredit to use a trial version of the product and MMUnix worked. eMags technical team was able to answer all our questions on setting up and using the program.
Once connections were established, an operator was able to use the product with very little help. Reading in our large, variable length file was very easy. Without this program, operations would have moved the tape drive to a NT server causing delays in our daily processing.
MMUnix is easy to use and eMag provided timely and effective advice through their technical help personnel.
ACS
Robert Kelly, the Data Control Manager writes:
“I have been using MM/UNIX for the past four months, converting EBCDIC format tapes received from one of our clients, to ASCII format for their application.
Initially we tried loading and converting the data ourselves, but the results were inconsistent. We then searched for, and tested software product’s similar to MM/UNIX. None of the testing was successful.
MM/UNIX loaded easily, and ran as advertised the first time through. The GUI screens are excellent, and the help facility has answered most of my questions. The support staff is top notch, they’ll be there to help their clients through any and all issues, even if it means working through the weekend. Pretty rare these days. I highly recommend this product.”
MM/UNIX: A Dynamic Package
“Simply stated, if you have a tape or a CD and you want to read or write data to or from your Unix system, this is the software you need. Likewise, if you currently do all your tape I/O in a mainframe environment and desire to migrate away from the mainframe environment, again THIS is the software you need,” said Brendan Sullivan, President for eMag Solutions.
