Lizette, As I have no future IBM product knowledge in this area, - just can base thoughts on what has happened in recent years...... I cant get in trouble - hopefully!
TS7700 is a family of products made up of different product parts - both hardware and software. Each piece can be upgraded - for example the server running the virtualization engine, the disk subsystem used for tape cache, the physical tape library, the tape drives, the micro-code. IBM has been successfully offering upgrade path enabling larger, faster,grid improvements, function improvements for a few years now .... I dont see a need for a replacement product given that all parts can be changed and it still be TS77xx.
