Virtualization Engine TS7700

The Virtualization Engine TS7700 enterprise tape storage series provides the benefits of the TS7700 Virtualization Engine with the additional flexibility of storing up to 70 Terabytes (TB) of data on a disk. The TS7720 has the same setup and configuration as the TS7740 and is supported by the same System z operating system. The number of volumes supported depends on their size, up to a maximum of 1 M. The TS7720 can be stand-alone or in a two- or three-site grid configuration. Both models — the TS7720 and the TS7740 — support the TS1130 Enterprise Tape drive, including the 1 TB tape cartridge, and the TS3500 High Density Library frame, providing up to 3X more capacity in the same footprint.
