Overview Features Tech Specs Resources Support Get It Specifications Work smarter not harder with the VSM system. The VSM system helps to optimize tape storage operations making it easier to operate cost effectively and still meet growing data storage demands. Key Specifications Cache buffer between the mainframe servers and tape storage system allows mainframe workloads to read and write to virtual drives created and maintained by the virtual tape solutions Data can be moved predictably to real tape drives, where co-located data sets enable full cartridge utilization The VSM system scales to connect multiple VSM systems, non-disruptively, expanding capacity and boosting performance cost effectively and efficiently Details Performance data Capacity Management Mechanical Environmental Power Performance data VSM 5e VSM 5 Disk performance 15,000-rpm disk drives 15,000-rpm disk drives Physical cache 8 GB 32 GB Effective cache (4:1 compression) 32 GB 128 GB Non-volatile storage (average 4:1 compression before storage) 256 GB 256 GB Effective non-volatile storage (4:1 compression) 1024 MB 1024 MB Capacity VSM 5e VSM 5 Capacity 800 GB, 1.25 TB VSM 465: 1.25 TB, 2.5 TB, 5.0 TB, 7.5 TB, 11 TB, 14 TB VSM 465: 16 TB, 18 TB, 21 TB; VSM 465: 23 TB, 25 TB, 28 TB VSM 450: 45 TB, 68 TB, 90 TB Channels 8 FICON or 16 ESCON FICON/ESCON only; not both 4 Ethernet IP support (between VTSS) 4 FICON (upgradeable to 16) 16 ESCON (upgradeable to 32) 4 Ethernet IP support (between VTSS) Management VSM 5e VSM 5 Minimum software requirements HSC 6.1/VTCS 6.1, z/OS 1.1+ HSC 6.1/VTCS 6.1, z/OS 1.1+ Mechanical VSM 5e VSM 5 Height 59.7 in.
