IBM TS7700

Extreme Scalability

• Supports up to 1572TB (1.5PB) of disk cache per system and up to 100PB of total storage with tape and/or cloud attachment—future-proofing for even the largest enterprise retention needs.
• Manages up to 4,000,000 virtual tape volumes per cluster for large, multi-petabyte workloads.

Integrated, Automated Tiering

• Automatically moves data between disk, physical tape, and cloud tiers for optimal performance and lowest cost.

Grid/Cluster Architecture

• Scale from single node to eight-cluster grid, with high availability and disaster recovery built-in.

Enterprise-Class Performance

• Built on IBM POWER9 servers with up to 20 CPU cores, 64GB DDR4 memory for rapid data throughput.
• 16Gb FICON, 32Gb/64Gb Fibre Channel, and 10Gb Ethernet grid options.

Advanced Security & Reliability

• FIPS-compliant hardware encryption, secure key management, and robust disaster recovery features.
• Hardware-accelerated replication and air gap support for cyberresilience.

Flexible Integration

• Fully compatible with IBM z/OS, z/VM, z/VSE, and DS8900 Storage.
• Connect to IBM and third-party tape libraries, cloud storage, and next-gen disk.

• Mainframe Backup and Restore: Achieve lightning-fast backups with virtual tape caching, and rapid restores for compliance or disaster recovery.
• Long-Term Data Retention: Store high volumes of regulated or archival data securely and cost-effectively with automated movement between disk, tape, and cloud.
• Cyber Resilience: WORM, replication, and true tape airgap options help secure mission-critical assets against ransomware and data loss.
• Hybrid Cloud Integration: Seamlessly extend storage to public or private clouds for flexible disaster recovery and near-infinite scalability.
• Business Continuity: Non-disruptive upgrades, high-availability clustering, and automatic failover maximize uptime.

• Base Frame: 616mm(W) x 1425mm(D) x 1930mm(H), max 735kg
• Expansion: Supports up to 10 disk cache drawers per system, with max power draw ~3480W
• Operating Temp: 10°–32°C, 20–80% RH
• Noise: 58db(A) at 25°C, 65db(A) at full load.
