Protect More. Store Less® The IBM System Storage® TS7680 ProtecTIER® Deduplication

Gateway for System z® combines a virtual tape library solution,

 with IBM’s unique and patented HyperFactor® deduplication technol-ogy and integrated native replication technology to provide users an

optimal disk-based target for Systems z applications that traditionally 

use tape.

Designed to simplify and improve the performance and reliability of 

tape processing operations while reducing infrastructure costs, the

 TS7680 offers high-performance inline deduplication, highly available

two node clustering and scalability to store up to 25 petabytes (PB) of 

tape data on high-speed disk capacity per system.

 The IBM System Storage TS7680 ProtecTIER Deduplication

Gateway for System z features:

● High performance inline deduplication● Scalability up to 1 PB of useable capacity per system● 256 virtual tape drives per two node cluster● Up to one million logical volumes per system● Native replication of deduplicated data to remote site for enhanced

disaster recovery ●  Multiple disk configuration options● Simplified deployment

 The IBM System Storage TS7680 ProtecTIER DeduplicationGateway for System z is an enterprise-class, data protection platform

designed to quickly and safely protect business information while

reducing the amount of space required for storage.

Deploying the TS7680 solution helps protect data traditionally stored

on tape with high-speed disk and leverages deduplication technology to

help manage the exponential growth of new data through the elimina-

tion of duplicate data. And since virtual tape systems are seen by the

mainframe as a standard tape library, existing processes and proceduresneed not be changed. The combination of virtual tape and deduplica-

tion can help reduce complexity, improve efficiency and reduce the

costs of tape processing operations. For example, a significant advan-

tage of virtual tape is that it eliminates tape mounting time. This

allows your applications that utilize tape to complete much faster,

reducing CPU wait time and freeing up processing power for other

applications.

The power of combining deduplication with

replication

ProtecTIER’s native replication technology enables virtual tape car-tridges to be replicated to a remote location for enhanced disaster

recovery and business continuity. By eliminating the need to physically 

transport tape cartridges, data can be recovered faster and more reli-

ably enabling systems to get back online quicker in the event of a disas-

ter. It also lowers the TCO of backup and recovery by eliminating the

costs associated with moving and storing physical tape.

ProtecTIER Native Replication technology provides:

●  Transmission of only unique deduplicated data to the Disaster

Recovery (DR) site●

 Volumes are visible to both sites at the same time● High-speed replication of virtual tapes from primary to remote site● Enterprise-class data integrity level on both sides● Remote site can become primary site during “disaster”● Cartridges can be cloned to tape at remote site● Replication occurs concurrently with backup and inline deduplication● Easy to use GUI based management and monitoring tools
