The IBM Virtualization Engine™ TS7530 (TS7530 Server) combines hardware and software into an integrated tiered solution to help provide tape virtualization for open systems servers connecting over Fibre Channel and iSCSI physical connections. When combined with real tape resources for longer term data storage, the TS7530 Server can help provide an increased level of operational simplicity and energy efficiency, support a low cost of ownership and increase reliability to provide significant operational efficiencies.

One of the biggest challenges for backup planning is the growing amount of data requiring backup, while the time allotted for a backup (the backup window) is shrinking or remaining static. The TS7530 Server offers high-performance and scaleable configurations to help address those challenges.

The IBM Virtualization Engine TS7530 solution is a high-performance, high-capacity open systems virtual tape solution designed to augment the tape backup and restore process in large tape environments.

The TS7530 Server can help improve business continuity by supporting better restore time. The TS7530 helps reduce restore time by utilizing the data resident on disk. With support for up to 4,096 virtual tape drives and 512 virtual tape libraries, each backup server can be allocated its own virtual resources, allowing multiple and disparate backup applications to use the same physical resources. This offers the potential for infrastructure simplification. Various multiple tape libraries and tape drives can be aggregated to one or more TS7530s, helping centralize the backup resources and further reduce the operational cost.
