Tape Roadmaps and Tape Library Innovation - IBM's Tape Evangelist and Strategist Shawn Brume
Fujifilm’s 12th Annual Global IT Executive Summit was Shawn Brume of IBM. With more than 20 years of experience in magnetic tape, Shawn is currently the Tape Evangelist and Strategist for IBM’s Data Retention Infrastructures team. In this segment of his presentation, Shawn reviews the IBM
LTO Enterprise Tape Libraries and LTO tape roadmaps. In addition, Shawn provides an introduction to new IBM tape library innovations.
Transcript:
GS 1100 there's two families it's no
secret and we have the first family
which is named the TS 1100 line from IBM
enterprise-based
we've always had compatibility we'll
continue to offer compatibility and keep
things under assessment but we're really
pushing for capacity
driving the Next Generation the Seventh
Generation which is easy for me to just
put ts1170 because it's probably what
it'll be at up to 50 terabytes
and up to 500 megabytes per second so
we're going to increase both
dramatically increase the amount of data
on that cartridge and we expect it will
continue to double that in the future
with Gen 8. now lto and all together
different discussion we all know lto
lto9 came out with 18 terabytes and I'll
say it you didn't meet the roadmap
okay we got that finished we didn't we
didn't meet the roadmap but guess what
if you go back far enough whoa we didn't
meet it back there on Gen 6 either we
have to have technology resets and those
technology resets set us up for the
future
and success where it's going to count
if you look at where the data was
sitting where people were buying 18
terabytes fit the overall Market but it
set the development and the lto teams up
for success with lto10
personally as an analyst View
36 terabytes is more more than
achievable tape for tape it can probably
come sooner to do 36 terabytes and it's
going to set up success with the next
few generations to where they're double
double and all of a sudden you know you
put it in a library that you currently
have 28 petabytes in and by 2035 with a
580 terabyte cartridge anybody do the
math real fast 918 exabytes in the same
space
remember we just shifted from petabytes
to exabytes a 28 petabyte library is now
going to hold
918 exabytes at the 580
terabyte cartridge
so lto roadmap is going to continue to
expand look we have technology resets we
have technology plans and sometimes
they don't jive with what everybody
wants but lto's done a really good job
of meeting that
over time
the entire industry is in transformation
software Hardware drives libraries IBM
is very focused on libraries
because as Jamie said very eloquently
the availability and the durability are
being defined by storage pods not by the
individual Hardware aha
density has to be in the floor space and
it has to be in a standard rack size
and it has to be storage that matters
so today we offer tis 4500 in a high
density configuration at about 13.4
petabytes per square meter
right 10 square feet for those of you
that can't convert
and you expand this library with frames
it just gets huge right
this year we're gonna announce the ultra
density
tape Library
28.5 petabytes in less than a square
meter less than around 9.2 square feet
no side clearance
but no expandability
and by the time the next Generation do
the math TS 1170 comes out 60 petabytes
in that same floor space well 9.2 square
feet
sustainable data center Dimensions 19
inch racks front and back access no Side
Access
it has the same performance as a ts-4500
as far as accessibility density in the
media in the floor space so you get
dense media and in the floor space you
put a whole bunch of cartridges reduce
the embedded carbon
big message this cuts the embedded
carbon carbon just by
having the amount of Steel and plastic
that you need to hold the same data
and it improves Pue by reducing the
overall consumption
ease of installation for those of you
have a ts-4500
it's not a ts-4500 less than 20 minutes
to install this right roll it out
when you're ready get started 20 minutes
from dropping the wheels to kicking off
the configuration to go
ease of service
these are the new tools of service
and everything is captured Okay so
human interaction with those contained
actions less than two minutes to replace
things like robots drives anything that
might regularly fail because hey look
things fail
no service specialists and we're going
to continue just like the rest of the
industry by the way I'm an industry
player I like the coopetition
everybody's going to continue to offer
desk side drives so that you can send
these drives to the field and get your m
e data back on just the cartridge and
consume it quickly small libraries
stackable libraries which will continue
to grow to meet the expectations and by
the way in this space the way it's going
stackable libraries are going to play
more and more of a role as we do move to
Erasure coding especially as 36 terabyte
drives come around with 36 terabyte
cartridges and a 3u will now hold 1.4
petabytes of data
the new ultra dense City Library we're
not taking anything away we're adding
this to the infrastructure it's
hyperscale ocp inspired right not no no
sticker but that's where we went with
the 19-inch dimensions
but it's not just for hyperscalers right
if you have deep archives
you never should touch your media what a
great place to store your media and
create an air gap for everything you
need and the TS 4500 which today can
grow to 417 petabytes and tomorrow is
going to be somewhere around 850
petabytes in a single image
the ultimate note
tape lives the definition of
sustainability
economically feasible
It's contained in by grabbing societal
data pulling that data in retaining it
with provenance
and it supports the environment and when
you start putting this into the three PS
right planet people and profit
it all comes back
that's all I have Rich and everybody
else uh thanks for putting me on stage
with all the big dogs I appreciate it.
