The IBM® System Storage® TS3310 Tape Library is a modular, scalable tape library designed to address the tape storage needs of rapidly growing companies who find themselves space- and resource-constrained with tape backup and other tape applications.

Designed around a 5U high modular base library unit, the TS3310 can scale vertically with expansion for Linear Tape-Open (LTO) cartridges, drives and redundant power supplies.

The TS3310 supports either the standard or write once, read many (WORM) LTO data cartridge and continued support for encryption of data with LTO-4 and LTO-5 tape drives. IBM Tivoli® Key Lifecycle Manager V1 (TKLM) is required for encryption key management with Ultrium 5 drives.

Building on the success of IBM’s patented multipath architecture, the TS3310 can be divided into one logical library per installed tape drive. These logical libraries can be simultaneously connected to a wide variety of different servers, running different operating systems and tape applications.
