Brief History of Storage

— IBM 727 Magnetic Tape Unit was announced on September 25, 1953.

— The IBM 3590 is a series of cartridge drives introduced in 1995.

— IBM released a Virtual Tape Server (VTS) introduced in 1997.

Modern day ….— Cloud object-storage architecture. notable examples Amazon Web Services S3, debuted in

March 2006 & Google Cloud Storage released in May 2010.

IBM announced acquisition of Cleversafe on 6th Nov, 2015, rebranded products as IBM Cloud Object Storage

What is Cloud Tape Connector• zIIP enabled

• Independent of mainframe storage hardware (disk, tape, virtual tape) or the supported cloud target environments ( on premise or off premise ) .

• Completely software-defined solution, no required hardware gateways.

• Support for IBM Cloud Object Storage via S3 protocol, Amazon S3, Hitachi HCP protocol, and EMC Elastic Cloud Service Protocol.

• Lifecycle Encryption Control (with Crypto Card)

• Physical / Virtual Tape Emulation

Program Number VRM Announced Available5698-ABM 02.01.00 2018/10/23 2018/11/16


What is Advanced Archive for DFSMShsm• zIIP enabled

• Independent of mainframe storage hardware (disk, tape, virtual tape) or the supported cloud target environments ( on premise or off premise )

• DFSMS policies are honored in the archive tier.

• Move data that was previously stored on ML2 tape under DFSMShsm control to a cloud

• Applications or users recall data stored in a cloud, returned to DFSMShsm control and made available for usage.

• Reduce HSM workload

• Program Number VRM Announced Available 5698-AAD 01.01.00 2016/09/13 2016/09/16


Data security – Encryption via zEnterprise Data Compression (zEDC)


Cloud Tape Connector Presentation Summary Cloud Tape Connector is zIIP enabled ( as is Advanced Archive for DFSMShsm )Designed to backup datasets to ‘the cloud’ instead of traditional cartridge architecture

Two types of datasets moved to the Cloud- Backup Datasets: moved at the moment of the creation, according to the criteria “Backup Filter Criteria”- History Datasets: moved during pooling interval, according to “History Datasets” criteria

“Backup Filter Criteria”, establish filtering criteria for cloud backups. Only the data sets that match the criteria will be saved to the cloud. However, it can also be used to back up data sets that are either no longer actively used or that are still in use, but have never been backed up to the cloud. These data sets are referred to as “History Datasets" data sets.

Advanced Archive for DFSMShsm Presentation SummaryAdvanced Archive for DFSMShsm is zIIP enabled ( as is Cloud Tape Connector )

Designed to move HSM datasets into ‘the cloud’ instead of traditional cartridge architecture

“Archive Filter Criteria”, establish filtering criteria for cloud archiving. Only the data sets that match the criteria will be ‘added’ to the cloud.
