IBM ProtecTIER Data Deduplication Solutions

Need to keep data available longer without increasing your storage infrastructure?

Don’t waste expensive disk space storing the same data multiple times. IBM ProtecTIER Deduplication makes it easy for you to harness the power of deduplication without making radical changes to your computing environment, enabling you to reduce the amount of data your backup and store by a massive 90%.

Let Maywood Solutions show you how to retain data longer cost effectively, protect data more efficiently and reliably, and save money by reducing energy, floor space, and maintenance requirements.

Until now, the only way to maintain high-level data protection for growing amounts of enterprise data was to add more disk space to the data protection infrastructure, an approach which can quickly become cost-prohibitive as data volumes continue to grow, whilst infrastructure budgets shrink. Regardless of cost, however, enterprises still have to be able to reliably back up and secure data with the ability to perform backup and restore operations without disrupting business. Ultimately, the challenge is to find ways to do this, and more, but with less infrastructure.

Introduction to the IBM ProtecTIER Deduplication Appliance & Gateway Solutions 

• The IBM System Storage™ TS7650 ProtecTIER Deduplication Appliance is a preconfigured solution of IBM storage, IBM server and IBM’s revolutionary ProtecTIER data deduplication software designed to improve backup and recovery operations. This integrated solution makes it easy to harness the power of deduplication without making radical changes to the existing environment.

• The IBM System Storage™ TS7650G ProtecTIER Deduplication Gateway solution meets the disk-based data protection needs of the enterprise data center while enabling significant infrastructure cost reductions. The solution offers high-performance inline data deduplication, optional two node clustering, and up to 1 petabyte (PB) of physical storage capacity per system. Combined with IBM storage, the ProtecTIER Gateway solution provides an optimal disk-based target for backup and archive data.

IBM ProtecTIER deduplication solutions provide:

• High speed backups – With performance of up to 1000 MB/s or more sustained inline deduplication
• Storage Capacity reduction – Deduplication reduces backup disk storage capacity requirements up to 25 times or more
• Investment Protection – Meets today’s requirements and can easily scale to 1PB of physical storage that can store up 25PB or more backup data
• Data Integrity—non-hash-based approach using patented HyperFactor technology avoids possibility of data loss due to hash collision
• Non-Disruption—inline approach ensures backup windows are met and existing operations not disrupted
• Production proven—tested and proven in hundreds of production environments around the globe
• Native Replication – Deduplication and replication combined to improve disaster recovery operations by enabling more data to be protected at a lower cost
• Stability – IBM owns ProtecTIER and is committed to providing continuous R&D to develop and deliver innovative and timely solutions to meet your data protection challenges 

Combining deduplication and replication technologies

ProtecTIER’s native replication technology enables virtual tape cartridges to be replicated to a remote location for enhanced disaster recovery and business continuity. By eliminating the need to transport physical 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.
