TS7650G ProtecTIER Deduplication Gateway

Powerful data deduplication for improved backup and disaster recovery operations

The IBM System Storage TS7650G ProtecTIER Deduplication Gateway is designed to meet the disk-based data protection needs of the enterprise data center while enabling significant infrastructure cost reductions. The solution offers industry-leading inline deduplication performance and scalability up to 1PB (petabyte) of physical storage capacity per system, and can provide up to 25PB or more 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.

• Improve backup and recovery and simplify disaster-recovery operations
• Lower operational costs and energy usage
• Manage more data with less infrastructure

Highlights

• Up to 2,500 megabytes per second (MBps) or more – 9 terabytes per hour (TBph) – virtual tape library (VTL) sustained inline deduplication backup performance
• Up to 3,200 MBps or more (11.4 TBph) VTL sustained recovery performance
• Capacity that easily scales to provide up to 25 PB or more backup storage
• Non-hash-based approach that supports data integrity by avoiding the possibility of data loss due to a hash collision
• 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
• IBM HyperFactor non-hash-based deduplication technology designed to reduce storage needs by up to 25 times or more, radically reducing costs while maintaining enterprise-class data integrity
• Native replication enables high-speed automated electronic replication of backup data between multiple data centers and remote office locations
