whitepaper Mainframe Appliance for Storage (MAS) Eliminates System Unavailability Due to Backups and Significantly Automates Disaster Recovery0000-00-00 Bus-Tech
  Stringent data backup with proven Disaster Recovery (DR) provisioning has to be mandatory insurance for any enterprise that has a firm commitment to its future. The Grange Insurance Group, that has been successfully addressing the insurance needs of the western states since 1894, has never had any doubts about that. Performing nightly mainframe backups to 12 IBM 3490 tape units and having these tapes stored at a local storage facility for DR purposes was proving to be extremely costly and cumbersome. Bus-Tech's "TAPE-ON-DISK" MAS solution, serendipitously discovered by Grange's lead systems programmer has now totally eliminated all of the problems associated with tape backup - with the only modifications required to the mainframe software being minor changes to JCL and the inclusion of definition statements for the MAS.

As a solution Barclays chose SecureWave's Sanctuary Device Control which enabled complete lock down of USB ports and prevented all unauthorised connection of USB devices to the network.

whitepaper Case Study: TRIZ Solves a Hard Drive Reliability Problem0000-00-00 CTQ Media
  TRIZ is the Russian acronym for The Theory of Inventive Problem Solving. TRIZ is a unique knowledge-based technology for accelerated development of design concepts. The drive needs to be protected against stronger external force. This could be achieved by replacing the current latch magnet with a stronger one. But the arm would not be able to overcome the force of any magnet stronger then the current one. Thus an attempt to improve the reliability of the hard drive causes deterioration of its performance. The TRIZ methodology includes algorithms for resolving conflicts between product parameters while minimizing product changes and costs, leading to breakthrough solutions.
