| Product positioning |
|
The TS7510 Virtualization Engine is a high-performance, high-capacity open systems virtual tape product designed to augment the tape backup and restore process in large tape environments. The TS7510 is designed to aid in the tape backup and restore process by helping to provide customers significant operational and throughput efficiencies via tape virtualization, namely:
- Backup window reduction
- Restore time reduction
- Data sharing and resource virtualization facilitation
- Operational efficiencies
- Low total cost of ownership
- Capability to allow multiple disparate backup applications to share the same physical resources
The TS7510 is a tape virtualization solution for open systems attachment over Fibre Channel interfaces. It is designed to help achieve significant operational efficiencies by storing the daily backup in the TS7510 disk cache. As backup data ages, the older data may be migrated to real tape for longer term storage. Since daily backup data is now written to virtual tape via the disk cache, heavy daily tape drive usage can be greatly reduced. Fewer personnel may be needed to administer the backup process when it includes virtual tape.
A TS7510 equipped with one TS7510 Virtualization Engine has four Fibre Channel ports available for host or tape attachment. A TS7510 equipped with two TS7510 Virtualization Engines has eight Fibre Channel ports available for host or tape attachment. With eight Fibre Channel interfaces a TS7510 can connect up to four ports directly to the tape SAN.
The TS7510 differs from many other open systems virtual tape products, by enabling either direct tape attachment or parallel tape attachment. Direct tape attachment is where real tape drives or libraries are physically attached to the TS7510. Parallel tape attachment is where real tape drives or libraries are attached to the host server and data is transferred from the TS7510 through the host server to real tape drives or libraries that are physically attached to the host server.
The TS7510 can help reduce the backup window in many installations. Since robotic movement, tape load/thread, and physical tape search and rewind is eliminated in virtual tape, the effective utilization of the Fibre Channel interfaces is high. That means more tape jobs can be run to virtual tape over a single interface than to real tape. If the backup window is reduced, the time allowed for migration to real tape is increased, thus potentially reducing the number of real tape drives needed for longer term backup data storage.
The TS7510 is designed to improve business continuity by providing better restore times. By having the data in the disk cache, the TS7510 is designed to help decrease restore times. With 512 virtual tape drives, and 64 virtual tape libraries, each backup server can be allocated their own virtual resources, allowing multiple and disparate backup applications to use the same physical resources. This offers the potential for infrastructure simplification. Multiple different tape libraries and tape drives can be aggregated to one or more TS7510s, helping centralize the backup resources and further reduce the operational cost.
The addition of the TS7510 into your tape backup architecture can help
provide significant operational cost reductions, and performance
benefits.

When TS7510 Virtualization Engine (feature #7420), Failover/Failback, is ordered, 5639-CC7 (feature #3234) is required. Failover/Failback can only be ordered if two TS7510 Virtualization Engines are installed in the same 3952 Tape Frame. When two Virtualization Engines are installed in the same 3952 Tape Frame, Failover/Failback is required on both TS7510 Virtualization Engines.
When TS7510 Virtualization Engine (#7421), Network Replication, is ordered, 5639-CC7 (#3231) is required.
When TS7510 Virtualization Engine (#7422), Network Encryption, is ordered, 5639-CC7 (#3232) is required. Network Replication is required when Network Encryption is ordered.
When TS7510 Virtualization Engine (#7423), Network Compression, is ordered, 5639-CC7 (#3230) is required. Network Replication is required when Network Compression is ordered.
Console and Capacity Support (#3233) is purchased on a per terabyte basis. One unit of feature #3233 must be licensed for every useable terabyte, or fraction of a terabyte, installed in the TS7510. Each TS7510 Cache Controller provides 2.5 TB of useable capacity. Therefore, five units of feature #3233 must be licensed for the two required TS7510 Cache Controller units.
Each TS7510 Cache Module provide 3 TB of useable capacity, except for the first two Cache Modules installed in an expansion frame (3952 Tape Frame with feature #7311). These first two expansion Cache Modules provide 2.5 TB useable capacity each. Therefore, three units of feature #3233 must be licensed for the first expansion Cache Module (2.5 TB rounded up to 3 TB), while two more units of feature #3233 must be licensed for the second expansion Cache Module. Every other SX5 installed in either the Base or Expansion frames require three more units of feature #3233 to be licensed.
The maximum usable storage capacity which may be configured to a single TS7510 Virtualization Engine is 23 TB. Eight 3955 Disk Cache units in a single frame provide 23 TB useable capacity. The following table lists the required quantities of feature #3233 to be licensed for each TS7510 hardware configuration:

IBM may release software changes to the IBM Virtualization Engine TS7510. IBM plans to make software changes for the TS7510 series available for download from the IBM TotalStorage® technical support worldwide Web.
Note that not all software changes may be available via the support Web site. If the software does not function as warranted and your problem can be resolved through your application of downloadable software, you are responsible for downloading and installing these designated software changes as IBM specifies. IBM has responsibility for installing changes that IBM does not make available for you to download. If you would prefer, you may request IBM to install downloadable software changes; however, you may be charged for that service.
