IBM brings data deduplication to System z mainframe
IBM extended its data deduplication capabilities to System z mainframe environments by introducing the IBM System Storage TS7680 ProtecTIER Deduplication Gateway for System z.

IBM claims the gateway can compress backup data by 25 times, allowing up to 25 TB of tape application data to be stored on 1 TB of disk after deduplication. The TS7680 combines a virtual tape library (VTL) with an inline data deduplication algorithm called HyperFactor, which indexes the content of a repository. It also features two-node clustering and up to 1 PB of physical storage capacity per system.
