The white paper I listed in my response to this thread was written by ESG.  
They tested the TS7560 and obtained on the order of 1400MB/sec.  And Charles is 
correct: it is an x86 box, actually the IBM x3850 which has, perhaps, the best 
architecture in the class.

It works well if you understand your data and how you can push to it
with in reason before you deploy another.  The IBM product likes more
CPU cores ... Understand these are x86 boxes... We see up to 500MBS
Writes to one of our VTL's that ingests Exchange Backups via the TSM

Funny.

I would say that BAD dedupe is the enemy of throughput.

There IS good dedupe.  I've seen it.  It hurts neither backup, nor
restore performance.

Dedupe is an errand boy, sent by the storage industry, to collect a
bill.

Dedupe is the enemy of throughput.

Why do you hate all things dedupe?

Funny, but I was researching the TS7650 yesterday and found this article
on the IBM website.  Pretty good detail about the product in a non-TSM
environment.

ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/storage/tape/ts7650g_esg_validation.pdf

And then this on in the TSM environment. I think this one might have
been written by somebody somewhat less familiar with TSM than we would
be.
Seemed a little heavy handed about TSM.

ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/common/ssi/sa/wh/n/tsw03043usen/TSW03043USEN.

My overall impression, and I hate all things de-dup, was this is a
pretty good product offering.  I'm sure it's way expensive but
understand there are some follow on products coming that will address
the lower end of this market.

Thanks,

Hi, Sabar.

I couldn't find a TS7569G via Google, but on the TS7650G, also a
deduping VTL, after data goes through the factoring (dedup) algorithm it
is run through a compression algorithm.  You probably won't see much
deduplication, but on the first backup you should see a decrease in size
similar to the decrease you would see from the compression on a tape
drive.

Regards,
Alex

Hi,


Does anyone here has been implementing or know how Dedup works in TSM
using TS7569G ? Let say I have 100 TB of data and backup to this VTL. On
the 1st attempt of backup / full backup, will this data size decrease on
the VTL

BR,

Martin P
