Benefits |
IBM HyperFactor Deduplication Technology |
IBMs 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 |
