ProtecTIER Schulung: Introduction to tape virtualization
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 IBMs 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 the participants 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. The participants 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 the participants 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 the participants to implement a ProtecTIER solution autonomously.
