IBM TS7700 Server

The TS7700 is a member of the TS line of products and builds upon previous implementations of tape storage virtualization. The TS7700 offers a modular and scalable architecture to the tape virtualization market allowing you to better customize the system to meet your particular requirements. Digital information that is generated by a smarter planet requires increasing storage and management. Online application storage and offline, permanent archive media continue to increase and require high-performance and high-capacity data storage solutions. The TS7700 is a fully integrated, tiered storage hierarchy of disk and tape. It leverages the benefits of both technologies by storing recent, frequently accessed data on disk to maximize performance in backup-and-restore operations, while moving older, less accessed data to tape, minimizing storage costs and securing long-term retention. The TS7700 can also fulfill storage requirements for applications and deployments that are designed to store data on tape, but that also require disk performance and capabilities. The TS7700 can help reduce batch processing time, total cost of ownership, and management overhead.
