IBM DR550 Retention Policies

Default and custom policies

Expire based on a predetermined expiration date

Expire based on a retention event

Expire on demand

Stored indefinitely

Use a deletion hold and release► Holds data for an indefinite period of time, regardless of the

expiration date or defined event

► Used for audits and legal events

Encryption

►Support for TS1120 tape encryption

●DR550 provides keys for encryption on the TS1120 tape system

►DR550 client encrypts data received

●128 AES / 56 DES encryption●Application or DR550 controls key

●DR550 client decrypts upon read

Add Tape/Optical for broader Tiered Storage Archive Solution

Adding tape/optical provides:► Backup for DR550 operational files► Integrated media migration to lower cost storage► Portability of media► Scalability to petabytes► Unique differentiation versus competition

Enhancing TCO with DR550 and Tape Information outlives the media

► Time of ownership – Not 2-3 years, but now 7, 10 or more years (lifecycle of information)

DR550 facilitates migrations from older to newer mediaDesigned to avoid disruption to applications

Costly to keep ALL information on near-line disk► Tape offers potentially lower cost than disk for long term information

retention► Technology turns – Disk subsystem replacement tends to be more frequent

than tape media replacement► Power and cooling costs – Significant differences between disk and tape

considering larger repositories and longer retention periods

DR550 provides storage tiering for cost-effective long-term information retention (disk, tape, optical)with encryption on both disk and tape
