Tape Technology has dramatically increased tape density –400 MB or 800 MB in the 1980s (3490E) –10 GB to 60 GB in the 1990s (3590) –60 GB to 1000 GB in the 2000s (3592) Average Mainframe dataset size is approximately 750 MB Typical tape usage is one dataset, one tape As tape density increases, how do I take advantage? VTS and now TS7700 –Presents image of 3490E tape drives and cartridges to host –“Stacks” logical volumes onto physical volumes –TS7700 manages mapping of logical to physical © 2010 IBM Corporation Main Benefits from Tape Virtualization Brings efficiency to the tape operation environment. Reduces batch window. Provides High Availability and disaster recovery configurations. Provides fast access to data through caching on disk. Provides utilization of current tape drive, tape media, and tape automation technology. Provides the capability of filling high capacity media 100%. Provides a large number of tape drives or concurrent use. Provides data consolidation, protection, and sharing. Requires no additional software. Reduces Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)idea © 2010 IBM Corporation Topics What is the TS7700 and Why Should I have one?
