The big picture: Tape in the mainframe data center
1. Production data is stored on all-Flash DS8900F.
2. HSM, ML2, & DR (other) data is managed by the host from primary storage to TS7770.
3. IBM DS8000 cloud off-load reduces host-dedicated MIPS for HSM data by tiering
Orchestrated policy management directly to the TS7770.
4. The TS7770 replicates data across the grid cloud, supporting data availability &
durability on performance cache.

5. Archive and regulatory data can

be policy managed to the lowest
TCO tape for long term retention
and second copy.
6. Data can be tiered to support
hybrid cloud data availability.
7. TS7770 policy management can
export and recover data in the
hybrid model to public or private
cloud pools.
DS8900F 8. Data is encrypted & compressed
at each storage location & in flight
over ethernet.
