Description
Enhanced deployment flexibility
Why Settle? Customize your Mainframe VTS so you only pay for what you need regardless of your size. The TS7700 family offers smaller footprint, lower entry cost options.
Increase performance
Reduce or eliminate bottlenecks in tape environments with a maximum 4,000,000 virtual volumes regardless of the number of clusters in the grid, with host throughput speeds for up to 4 GBps each.
Support high-availability requirements
Enhance availability during planned maintenance or upgrades with up to eight TS7700 systems configured to participate in a grid environment. Avoid transporting cartridges in the event of a disaster.
Improve performance and capacity
