IBM Real-time Compression Appliances are designed to help meet the demands of rapid data growth, while enhancing storage efficiency. All IBM Real-time Compression Appliances apply IBM patented real-time data compression techniques to primary and existing storage, delivering optimization and savings throughout the entire storage lifecycle. The result is exceptional cost savings and operational and environmental efficiencies. Performance: IBM Real-time Compression Appliance STN7800 sets a new level of primary storage efficiency performance capabilities. This new model supports more than twice the throughput of previous generation appliances and can reach sustained throughput of more than 2.4 GB/sec. This enables high-performance NAS environments to get the Real-time Compression benefits for all enterprise application workloads including the highest demanding performance applications. Random Access Compression Engine Architecture: IBM Real-time Compression Appliance architecture is based on proven Lempel-Ziv (LZ) data compression algorithms. Real-time compression enables the IBM Real-time Compression Appliances to deliver real-time, random access, and deterministic data compression, while maintaining reliable and consistent performance. High availability: IBM Real-time Compression Appliances are fully redundant components and deploy seamlessly into high-availability environments. Enhanced monitoring enables greater visibility into high availability environments. Note: In mission-critical environments, it is highly recommended that two IBM Real-time Compression Appliances be installed as redundant configuration to help ensure the highest availability. Base machines include the following with IBM Real-time Compression Appliance STN7800 (2452-780):
