OpenTech Systems, Inc., a leading provider of secure and compliant solutions for data disaster recovery in IBM z/OS centric data centers, today unveiled its consolidation and renaming of the DR/Identify and DR/Backup products as part of a new product release. The DR/Identify and DR/Backup products, which provide automated identification, backup, and recovery of critical application environments, as well as encryption, auditing, and tracking information to satisfy compliance requirements, will now be presented together as DR/Xpert in the latest release, 2.1.1.

DR/Xpert release 2.1.1 features superior process automation that is unique to the industry and provides an end-to-end solution for critical application data recovery, encompassing critical tape and DASD, as well as unsurpassed support for DB2 data. DR/Xpert's integrated JCL scanning and comprehensive reporting capability eliminates the requirement for third-party products to provide these functions, which means less software to buy and maintain.

"We have had the largest development staff in the industry working on this type of product set and as we completed major enhancements it became clear that the automation, auditing, and tracking provided with these business functions represented expert capabilities unique to our solution. As a result, DR/Xpert is a single solution that covers all of the organization's needs, including encryption, auditing, and proof of compliance," says Steve Sydow, CEO of OpenTech Systems. "We wanted to choose a name that reflects an expertly designed and functional solution that encompasses and automates the entire process. We feel that the new name, DR/Xpert, illustrates the product's capabilities for critical application disaster recovery and compliance. OpenTech Systems remains committed to providing premium storage and business continuity solutions with exceptional return-on-investment for our customers."
