Tape infrastructure (tape libraries, drives, cartridges), 8 PB disk storage.

This lot procures the tape infrastructure (tape libraries, drives, media) that supersedes 2 of the older libraries installed on the data center. 2 tape libraries are to be installed again. Some of the data that the system is intended for is stored asynchronously, one version in the primary library in the LRZ's data center, and a second version in the secondary library at a second site. In normal operation, only the primary library is read; the version is used in the secondary library only if the primary copy fails.

During procurement, special attention is paid to the extensibility of the libraries of the.

This lot is intended to replace the currently used disk cache and backup-to-disk storage of the central archive and backup system with an IBM Spectrum Protect compatible integrated storage appliance based on IBM Spectrum. The existing Infiniband EDR network is to be replaced by an HDR network for the most high-performance and future-proof internal networking of storage and servers.

For servers, the highest possible I/O throughput between Infiniband network and online storage is essential in both single and multi-stream.

This lot is intended to supersede the currently used HPC scratch storage system. To achieve this, the existing IBM Spectrum Scale HPC storage infrastructure is to be expanded with additional, compatible, integrated storage appliances.

For the planned use case, the highest possible write/read performance is senential when the capacity is given.
