    Overview

    IBM TS7650G ProtecTIER Deduplication Gateway is designed to meet the disk-based data protection needs of the enterprise data center while enabling significant infrastructure cost reductions. The solution offers industry-leading inline deduplication performance and scalability up to 1 petabyte (PB) of physical storage capacity per system, and can provide up to 25 PB or more backup storage capacity. Combined with IBM or third-party storage, TS7650G ProtecTIER Deduplication Gateway provides a powerful disk-based repository to improve the performance, retention and availability of backup and archive data in a small footprint for energy and cost efficiency.

    The DR Series Appliance deduplication algorithms efficiently handle hundreds of incoming data streams and deduplicate them using a variable-length slidingscale format to assure optimal capacity optimization. To assure data integrity the appliance hardware contains a Write Acceleration Module card, collision detection and file system integrity checks, where existing data is read back periodically to compare checksums and verify data integrity
