What are the top 3 messages for your prospects to remember?

• ProtecTIER®, with its revolutionary and patented HyperFactor™ data deduplication technology, is the only proven data deduplication solution on the market that can provide high levels of performance, scalability and data integrity.

• IBM is now delivering this enterprise-class technology to mid-sized customers that are challenged with protecting rapidly growing amounts of data within their existing tape-based data protection environment.

• IBM delivers data deduplication solutions that enable customers to address their backup and recovery challenges without changing their existing backup policies, practices or procedures with a lower TCO than competitive or conventional technology products.

What are the top five challenges addressed by this solution?

1. Protecting and cost effectively managing rapidly increasing amounts of data.
2. Inability to complete backup operations in a given “backup window”.
3. Cost effectively introducing disk into the backup environment.
4. Inability to recover files in a cost effective and timely manner.
5. Difficulty in achieving new compliance standards.

What are the main benefits provided by this solution?

• Reduced Storage Total Cost of Ownership
• Enhanced backup and recovery performance, data protection & reliability
• Backup window shortened
• Enhanced control of decentralised open systems data
• Data management simplified
• Enhanced Disaster Recovery through use of remote disk

Disk is the answer but data deduplication is the key. Using more disk improves backup and recovery operations, but is prohibitively expensive to deploy without data deduplication technology. Data deduplication enables customers to store up to 25 times more data on a storage array making the cost of backing up to fast disks less than then conventional methods.

The TS7650 ProtecTIER Deduplication Appliance provides improvements to existing data protection infrastructures as follows:

Operational Resilience

• Complete backup operations in given backup window
• Recover files and systems quicker
• RPO and RTO improvements

Operational Efficiency

• Greatly improved SLAs
• Reduced cost of backup infrastructure (TCO)
• Improved reliability
• Simplification/consolidation
• Enhanced serviceability
• Reduced management requirements

Regulatory compliance

• Data loss mitigation and avoidance
• Operational resiliency and efficiency
