Whether a small/medium size business is expanding operations or experiencing rapid growth, IBM tape products are designed to help meet the customer needs of data backup, archive and management. Each tape product is designed to offer reliability, performance and flexibility for today and the future.
The IBM System Storage TS2340 Tape Drive Express Model is an external drive incorporating the 4th and newest generation of IBM LTO? technology. This is an external stand-alone or rack-mountable unit, similar to previous models of the IBM 3580 and is the entry point for the family of IBM Ultrium tape products. The TS2340 supports encryption of data and offers a 3 Gbps SAS connection. In addition, the TS2340 can read and write LTO Ultrium 3 Data Cartridges and read LTO Ultrium 2 Data Cartridges.
The IBM System Storage TS7650 ProtecTIER Deduplication Appliance is a preconfigured solution of IBM storage, IBM server and IBM’s revolutionary ProtecTIER data deduplication software designed to improve backup and recovery operations. This integrated solution makes it easy to harness the power of deduplication without making radical changes to the existing environment. The solution is available in four configurations designed to meet the disk-based data protection needs of a wide variety of organisations, from mid-sized IT environments to enterprise data centers.
The IBM TS3100 Tape Library Express Model is well-suited for handling backup, save and restore and archival data-storage needs for small to medium-size environments. With one full-height tape drive or up to 2 half-height tape drive(s) and 24 tape cartridge capacity, the IBM TS3100 model is designed to leverage Linear Tape-Open (LTO) technology to help cost effectively handle growing storage requirements.
The IBM TS3200 Tape Library Express Model is well-suited for handling backup, save and restore and archival data-storage needs for small to medium-size environments. With up to two Ultrium full height tape drive(s) or up to 4 Ultrium Half-Height tape drive(s) and 48 tape cartridge capacity, the IBM TS3200 is designed to leverage Linear Tape-Open (LTO) technology to help cost effectively handle growing storage requirements.
For businesses challenged with rapidly growing data backup needs and limited physical space for a tape library, the IBM System Storage TS3310 offers simple, rapid expansion as processing needs grow. This tape library allows you to start small with only a single 5 EIA rack unit high library. Over time, as your need for tape backup expands, you can add additional 9U expansion modules, each of which contains space for additional cartridges, tape drives and a redundant power supply. The entire system grows vertically. Currently, available configurations include the 5U base library module and a 5U base with up to 4 9U expansion modules.
The IBM System Storage? TS3400 Tape Library is designed to offer the high capacity and performance advantage of the IBM System Storage TS1120 Tape Drive in a small automation footprint for IBM System i, System p, System x, System z 1 and other open systems environments. The TS3400 tape library is an external 5U standalone or rack-mountable unit that can incorporate up to two TS1120 tape drives. The library supports a data rate transfer of up to 104 MBps per drive.
The IBM System Storage TS3500 Tape Library (TS3500 tape library) combines IBM automation and drive technology to provide a highly scalable, automated tape library for IBM System z and open systems backup and archive in midrange to enterprise environments.
The IBM TotalStorage 3580 model L33 Tape Drive is an external drive incorporating the 3rd and latest generation of IBM LTO technology. This an external stand-alone or rack-mountable unit, similar to previous models of the 3580 and is the entry point for the family of IBM Ultrium tape products. The 3580 Tape Drive provides an excellent migration path from digital linear tape (DLT or SDLT), 1/4-in., 4mm, or 8mm tape drives. The 3580 model L33 can read and write LTO Ultrium 2 Data Cartridges and read LTO Ultrium 1 Data Cartridges.
1 Native / Compressed Capacity: The usable capacity of a cartridge is dependent on the environment that it is used in and the compressibility of the data and is typically 2x in an open system environment and 3x in a System z9 environment
2 Native / Compressed Performance: The performance of a tape drives is dependent on the environment that it is used in and the compressibility of the data as well as other factors such as the generation of Storage Are Network.
