  • System and method for writing data to tape and reading data from tape using a restful interface
    Patent number: 11961541
    Abstract: A system (200) for at least one of writing data to tape media (204) and reading data from the tape media (204) includes a client application (202); and a RESTful interface (212) through which the client application (202) transmits a request to at least one of write data to the tape media (204) and read data from the tape media (204) to a REST daemon (214), the RESTful interface (212) being integrated with a SCSI interface (210). The REST daemon (214) subsequently passes the request on to a data mover (208), which opens a second RESTful interface (220) with the client application (202). The client application (202) then sends the request to the data mover (208) via the second RESTful interface (220). The data mover (208) then performs the request by moving the data between the client application (202) and the tape media (204), with the data never landing on primary storage during such movement.
