The IBM TS7700 features a functional enhancement so that an IBM TS7700 can act as an object store for IBM DS8000® Transparent Cloud Tiering for an IBM DS8000, DFSMShsm (hierarchical storage management (HSM)), and native DFSMSdss (DSS). You can use this function to move datasets directly from a DS8000 to a TS7700.

This IBM Redpaper publication provides a functional overview of the features, provides client value information, and walks through DFSMS, DS8000, and TS7700 setup steps.

This paper is targeted at anyone looking to implement transparent cloud tiering (TCT) in their environment or looking for more information about how to manage their storage with the
IBM DS8000 by offloading data to a TS7700 by using TCT.
