Why Backup and why Tape for Backup
For many organizations, backup is either breaking or broken

42% of small companies
have experienced data loss. 32% lost files forever.

“You’re never fully backed-up without an air gap”

Ransomware & Air Gap (=Tape)
| 4
 Obviously a tape has the best air gap as it's totally disconnected from your network,
https://www.itweb.co.za/content/nG98YdqLkZAMX2PD
 Tape Is Your Last Line of Defense Against Ransomware
 Ransomware Attack: Tape Backups Just Made a Serious Comeback https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/ransomware-
attack-tape-backups-just-made-serious-comeback-wonski/
 But the only way to create a physical air gap is to copy something to removable media and send that media offsite.
Generally speaking, this means tape. https://storageswiss.com/2017/09/07/video-can-disk-backups-have-an-air-gap/
 Bottom line: Given the rising wave of cybercrime, the role of tape - based offline storage and cloud solutions taking
advantage of the “Tape Air Gap” is back in style.
• http://www.fujifilm.ca/products/tape_data_storage/case_studies/pdf/Tape_Air_Gap_Oct2017.pdf
 One of the best ways to protect backups is to move to tape or other offline backups. Physical separation (air gap) is
the best protection. https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1063448-how-to-protect-backup-from-ransom-ware-or-virus
 Recently, tape has shown itself to be an effective means of providing an "air gap“ between live data and protected
data. This air gap is essential to thwarting more sophisticated ransomware and malware that attempts to corrupt live,
backup, and archive data simultaneously. While some are attempting to write-off tape, it has proven to be an
important building block of a complete modern data protection plan all at the industry's lowest cost per gigabyte.

The data deluge
 80% of all files created are inactive
 no access in at least 3 months!
 => NAS: Never Access Storage

HDD ?!?
 HDD has reached the limit of (known) materials to produce
larger write fields:
• Areal density/capacity scaling achieved by shrinking the same basic
technology to write smaller and smaller bits on disk
 Technologies to go beyond the superparamagnetic limit:
• Two dimensional magnetic recording (TDMR)
• Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR)
• Microwave Assisted Magnetic Recording (MAMR)
• Bit Patterned Media (BPM)
 Recent Capacity Scaling of HDD: Volumetric Density
• Slow down in areal density scaling partially compensated by adding
more disks: conventional technology has reached space limit (~5
platters)
• Helium filled drive less turbulence thinner disks higher capacity
• WD 6TB (2013) 6 platters
• HGST 10TB Drive (2015) 7 platters w/ shingled magnetic recording
• Doesn’t scale: No space for more heads and platters!

Magnetic Media “Trilemma”:

IBM Forschungslabor Rüschlikon: Tapetechnologie
Demonstration August 2017
Areal recording density :
201 Gb/in2
20x TS1155 areal density
 330 TB cartridge capacity
Mit dieser Demonstration zeigt IBM das Potential zur
Steigerung der Kapazität für Tape auf!
Dies mit bereits heute eingesetzten Technologien!
HDD Technology:
• No room to continue adding platters
• HDD capacity will be driven by areal density scaling (10-20% /a)
Cost advantage of tape will continue to grow!

Data Growth and the GAP with HDD Technology
Bisher war die Kapazitätssteigerung auf den Disk größer als das Datenwachtum. In Zukunft wird aber das Datenwachstum
wesentlich größer sein!
Bedeutet wir müssten mehr Disk/HDDs installieren oder mehr auf Tape setzen!
Wir sollten die „Tape is dead“ Diskussion endlich begraben!

Tape Saves the Day
Ben Treynor, VP Engineering and Site Reliability Czar for Google
Gmail, used the official Gmail blog to explain the situation and
provided a powerful endorsement for off-line removable tape
storage.
“I know what some of you are thinking: how could this happen if
we have multiple copies of your data, in multiple data
centers...well, in some rare instances software bugs can affect
several copies of the data. That’s what happened here. Some
copies of mail were deleted...To protect your information from
these unusual bugs, we also back it up to tape. Since the tapes are
offline, they’re protected from such software bugs”.
From Google blog at http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/gmailback-soon-for-
everyone.html
Online disk data is
exposed to corruption
Use offline tape storage
for outstanding protection
The Last Line of Defense!

Microsoft Azure use Tape
 Why Microsoft Azure will use Tape:
• The cheapest most economical way to store cold data, continued
improvement with 30%+ CAGR and easiest roadmap.
• Cheaper-Separating the media from the reader/writer
• Both Tape and Optical pull the media out of the reader/writer.
• 1 expensive part, and service any amount of media.
• Tape libraries can be more flexible in drive / media ratio
• New tape drives can store more data on older media
• Tape libraries have less environmental constraints

IBM Spectrum Archive: Policy-based Cost Optimization
•Powerful policy engine
–Example: File Heat measures how often the file is accessed.
–As the file gets “cold” move it automatically to a lower cost
storage pool
–Information Lifecycle Management
–Fast metadata ‘scanning’ and data movement
–Automated data migration to based on threshold
•Users not affected by data migration
–Single namespace
–Persistent view of the data
•Tape as the external pool of Spectrum Scale

Why IBM tape media?
 Not all media is created equal - IBM Media is designed for increased reliability, performance,
stability and durability.
 IBM Media and IBM Drives are designed and developed together – a winning combination.
 IBM Media is built to rigorous IBM specifications
 Easy initial sales when bundled with the IBM tape library and drives
 Lifetime Warranty
• Limited lifetime: Free from manufacturing and material defects useful life of product
 Single Point of Support helps alleviate your customers situation
• Media Recovery Lab in Mainz/Frankfurt helps to determine between Media and Drive Failure and may
recover tape data!
| 18
Proof point:
IBM media is so well designed and quality so tightly controlled that only <0.03% of LTO and
<0.02% of 3592 media is typically ever returned.
<300 per million LTO cartridges returned
<200 per million 3592 cartridges returned
And IBM is typically able to retrieve 100% of data.
Why IBM Tape Media is best of breed

 JD TS1150 backwards read support (J5D Read only)
 JC 4 TB format (read only) and JC 7 TB format (read/write)
 TS1160 backwards read TS1155 JD format (J5A Read Only)
 Capacity will be achieved through a new head design and format on media
 Will be offered with Fibre Channel or Ethernet based RoCE external interface
 Two models

New TMR Head
 Current Tape Drive Technology Based on GMR.
• LTO7, T10000D, TS1150, T10000E
• (HDD’s stopped using GMR in 2004). GMR has reached its density limits.
 TMR provides a 4x improvement in signal sensitivity. Less susceptible to noise and media
discrepancies.
 TMR Heads run cooler than GMR.
• Benefits media and data integrity.
 IBM TS1155 and LTO 8 will be based on TMR
 Tape has 13 yrs of TMR development to leverage
 TMR Requires Major Manufacturing Re-Engineering
• Investment
• Head characteristics are substantially different than GMR
 IBM has had to pioneer new tech to make it work.

• IBM refer this as “M8 media”
• New barcode label – LTO7 Cartridges need to have Barcode Label "M8" (Media Identifier)
• M8 needs to be initialized for 9 TB
• Works only for brand new Media
• Up-Format (eg. Jaguar) is not supported

Media
• TS3500 supports only pre-intialized M8 Media
 Inadvertent usage of un-initialized M8 media (when not supported) will result in a reduction in
capacity
 No commitment that LTO9 can read M8
 M8 has the best $/GB (below 1 Cent)

Model conversions are only supported once in the life of the tape drive.
A second conversion would have more than 80% of new components and would cost nearly the price of a new tape drive

The future of Tape
begins now
