The IBM TS7700 features a functional enhancement that allows for the TS7700 to act as an object store for IBM DS8000® Transparent Cloud Tiering with IBM DS8000, DFSMShsm (HSM), and native DFSMSdss (DSS). This function can be used to move data sets directly from DS8000 to TS7700. This IBM Redpaper publication provides a functional overview of the features, provides client value information, and walks through DFSMS, DS8000, and TS7700 set up steps.
