Highlights

• Improves backup and recovery and simplifies DR operations
• Lowers operational costs and energy usage
• Manages more data with less infrastructure.

The IBM System Storage TS7650G ProtecTIER Deduplication Gateway is designed to meet the disk-based data protection needs of the enterprise data centre while enabling significant infrastructure cost reductions. The solution offers industry-leading inline deduplication performance and scalability up to 1 petabyte (PB) of physical storage capacity per system that can provide up to 25 PB or more backup storage capacity. Combined with IBM or third-party storage, the ProtecTIER Gateway provides a powerful disk-based repository to improve the performance, retention and availability of backup and archive data.

The TS7650G ProtecTIER Deduplication Gateway provides:

• High-speed backups: Up to 2000 MegaBytes per second (MBps) or more (7.2 TeraBytes per hour (TBph)) sustained inline deduplication backup performance
• Even faster restores: Up to 2800 MBps or more (10 TBph) sustained recovery performance
• Capacity: Easily scalable to provide up to 25 PB or more backup storage capacity
• Data Integrity: Non-hash-based approach avoids the possibility of data loss due to a hash collision
• Non-disruption: Inline approach ensures backup windows are met and existing operations are not disrupted
• Symantec OpenStorage (OST) support: Simplifies administration of backup, restore and replication operations
• Production proven: Tested and proven in thousands of production environments around the globe since 2005.

ProtecTIER’s native replication technology enables the automated electronic replication of backup data between one or more data centres, remote office and offsite storage locations for enhanced DR and business continuity. By eliminating the need to transport actual tape cartridges, data can be recovered faster and more reliably enabling systems to get back online quicker in the event of a disaster or major system outage. It also lowers the total cost of ownership (TCO) of backup and recovery by eliminating the costs associated with moving and storing physical tape cartridges.

ProtecTIER deduplication with native replication technology provides:

• One-to-one replication for enhanced DR operations
• Many-to-one replication for improved remote office data protection
• Many-to-many replication for multiple data centre environments
• Enterprise-class data integrity level at all sites
• The ability for a remote site to become primary site during DR Replication that can occur concurrently with backup and inline deduplication
• Easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI)-based management and monitoring tools.

Deploying a TS7650G ProtecTIER Deduplication Gateway solution can help organisations protect their corporate data on disk-based storage more efficiently while helping them manage the exponential growth of new data through reduction or elimination of duplicate data in their backups.
