B&L Associates

Customer Testimonials

"We support a mixed environment of HP UX, Windows NT and Linux servers in our data center. Vertices^® gives us "one-stop shopping" allowing us to manage the media for all of our systems. In addition, B&L helped us convert our mainframe tape information to Vertices. Because of its intuitive design, Vertices' short learning curve is a great advantage for our operators making for a smooth transition to a very flexible and capable new system."

BJ Havlik,
IS Manager, Technical Services, Menasha Corporation

"As we move from our mainframe system to an open systems environment we wanted a media management system that would closely mirror the tape management system that has worked so well for us in the past. With Vertices, we have a very flexible system that allows us to control 4mm and 8mm tapes as well as DLTs and IBM Magstar media. We even manage CD media for desktop image workstations throughout the city. B&L's reputation for media management is well founded."

Bob Ricci,
Operations Analyst, City of Minneapolis

"At Liberty, we had a homegrown media management system that was not Y2K compliant. We turned to Vertices so we could put the Y2K issue behind us. We solved that problem and more. Now we manage thousands of 8mm backup tapes on daily, weekly, monthly and special cycles for 200 machines from a single workstation. Vertices has been fantastic."

Frank Mauro,
Principal Technical Analyst, Liberty Mutual

"We've been using B&L tape management to back up our Unisys mainframe systems for years. Now that we are retiring our mainframe and moving to open systems we wanted to maintain the same level of media security. Our UNIX and Windows NT systems support five hospitals and numerous doctors' offices so media management is critical. The transition has been smooth and the operators really like Vertices' scanner input option and the Windows interface."
