IBM ProtecTIER TS7650G Implementation Workshop

The IBM System Storage TS7650G ProtecTIER Deduplication Gateway is a solution for disk-based data protection. It combines both virtual tape library technology and data deduplication based on IBM's patent pending HyperFactor technology. This workshop gives an introduction to tape virtualization and data deduplication with IBM ProtecTIER, and points out the value proposition of a ProtecTIER solution. In the hands-on part of the workshop, you learn how to cable and install a ProtecTIER dual node configuration from scratch, how to create a ProtecTIER repository, how to define virtual resources and how to attach it to an IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server. You perform backups of multiple generations of data to see the impact of data deduplication. This workshop also covers ProtecTIER Native Replication. In the Native Replication hands-on part, you learn how to implement and configure Native Replication and how to recover from a disaster. An introduction to the ProtecTIER Planner is also part of the class. The workshop is a solution training that enables you to implement a ProtecTIER solution autonomously.
