Data Protection Solutions for TSM Environments

SEPATON virtual tape libraries (VTLs) enable you to enhance IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager (TSM) processes and features to get the most value from your investment, while reducing the complexity of your infrastructure. Migrating data from the backup disk pool to the primary pool on a SEPATON S2100®-ES2 enterprise VTL is so fast that your copy pool tapes can be created hours earlier than with physical tapes. SEPATON VTLs are TSM certified and IBM TotalStorage® Proven.

  • Decrease TSM administration time.
    The added speed and efficiency of a SEPATON VTL allows TSM users to set a reclamation threshold of 80% (more than twice the typical 40%).
  • Cut backup and restore times.
    A SEPATON VTL handles any size backup with performance up to 34.5 TB/hour. Restore individual files or entire backup sets instantaneously. Take advantage of the TSM collocation function to speed restores while eliminating the need for multiple tape mounts, which can slow performance. Use TSM reclamation to consolidate less-used data volumes for improved tape utilization and performance, while minimizing costly LAN and FTE resources.
  • Handle exponential data growth with unmatched scalability.
    Scale performance simply by adding Scalable Replication Engines (SRE®). Our dynamic disk file system automatically optimizes performance up to 9600 MB/sec. Scale capacity of a single appliance from 7.5 TB to more than multiple petabytes of useable disk space
  • Deliver continuous availability.
    SEPATON VTLs enable you to use TSM’s Atape driver multi-pathing capability to deliver advanced load balancing and automatic failover for continuous availability in the event of a failure.
