IBM System Storage TS7680 ProtecTIER Deduplication Gateway for System z

Enterprise-class storage virtualization and data deduplication for System z

Feature Benefits
IBM HyperFactor® Deduplication Technology IBM’s unique and patented deduplication technology significantly reduces storage needs without relying on hashing algorithms, which can lead to data loss
Inline deduplication Eliminates redundant data as it is received, avoiding the need for secondary deduplication “post” processing and extra storage requirements
High Performance High-speed inline deduplication of up to 600 MB/sec sustained throughput
Scalable to 1 PB of physical storage which provides up to 25 PBs capacity for user data Enables capacity to increase to keep pace with rapid information growth
High Availability Two-node cluster provides higher performance and high availability for increased uptime
Custom Configurations Configurations can be optimized for performance, capacity and/or specific disk storage needs
Improved reliability Eliminates the mechanical errors and handling errors associated with physical tape to improve tape processing success rates
Compatible with standard z/OS® tape platforms and tape management systems Designed to minimize cost of complexity and management of tape operations
Acquisition cost can be 50-80% lower than standard VTL solutions Total Cost of Ownership can help dramatically lower customer investment vs. standard virtual tape library (non-deduplication) solutions across many customer scenarios and use profiles
Native replication for enhanced disaster recovery Automates the electronic transfer of data to a remote site for enhanced disaster recovery capabilities
