Highlights

  • Improve backup and recovery and simplify DR operations
  • Lower operational costs and energy usage
  • Manage 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 leading inline deduplication performance and scalability up to 1 petabyte (PB) of physical storage capacity per system and can provide up to 25 PB backup storage capacity. Combined with IBM or third-party storage, the TS7650G ProtecTIER Deduplication 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:

  • Up to 2,800 megabytes per second (MBps) – 9 terabytes per hour (TBph) – virtual tape library (VTL) sustained inline deduplication backup performance
  • Up to 3,200 MBps (11.4 TBph) VTL sustained recovery performance
  • Capacity that easily scales to provide up to 25 PB backup storage
  • Patented IBM HyperFactor deduplication technology
  • Inline approach that ensures backup windows are met and existing operations are not disrupted
  • Symantec OpenStorage support to simplify administration of backup, restore and replication operations
  • File System Interface (FSI) for network attached storage (NAS)-based backup environments, support for both Network File System (NFS) v3 interface for UNIX® clients and Common Internet File System (CIFS) for Microsoft® Windows® based environments
  • Tested and proven performance in thousands of production environments around the globe since 2005.
