IBM Launches Newest ProtecTIER Appliance — Positioning Data Dedupe for Mid-Market Users

In February, 2009, IBM introduced the ProtecTIER TS7650 as a down-sized version of their ProtecTIER Gateway. This reduced the entry point for data dedupe to 7TBs, and lowered the entry cost as well. For many smaller data centers, however, this was still too big and too costly for the mid-market. Now, IBM has announced the TS7610 ProtecTIER Deduplication Appliance Express with an entry configuration of 4TBs. To learn more about the TS7610, please read on.
