The following diagram shows how tape data gets from a z/OS LPAR to Amazon cloud storage. In the diagram, two z/OS LPARS run CA Vtape. CA Vtape uses Virtual Drives to intercept tape mounts. It uses a Channel to Channel (CTC) connection to pass the data to another LPAR that is running Linux on System z. An NFS device is mounted on Linux on System z and an OSA adapter is used to read/write the passed data to the NFS device. The NFS device compresses, deduplicates, and encrypts the data and sends it to cloud storage.
