Entry-level tape systems

The IBM System Storage™ TS2230 Tape Drive Express Model (TS2230), P/N 3580L3E is an excellent tape storage solution for entry-level businesses requiring backup or low-cost, real-time archival of their data within a small window of time—high-capacity and performance can meet the most demanding requirements. The new TS2230 has a storage capacity of up to 800GB (with 2:1 compression) in conjunction with the new IBM TotalStorage® LTO® Ultrium™ 400GB data cartridge, which is double the capacity of the Ultrium 2™ technology. Along with its high capacity, the performance of the TS2230 Tape Drive has more than doubled over the previous half-high LTO generations for a native data transfer rate of up to 60 MBps. The TS2230 Tape Drive provides an excellent alternative to slower and smaller capacity 1/4- inch, 4 mm and 8 mm DLT/SDLT tape drives.

The IBM System Storage™ TS2240 Tape Drive Express Model is an external drive incorporating the 4th and newest generation of IBM LTO™ technology in a half-high form factor. This is an external stand-alone or rack-mountable unit, similar to previous models of the TS2230 and is the entry point for the family of IBM Ultrium™ tape products. The TS2240 supports encryption of data with a 3 Gbps SAS connection. In addition, the TS2240 can read and write LTO Ultrium 3 Data Cartridges and read LTO Ultrium 2 Data Cartridges. The TS2240 Tape Drive provides an excellent migration path from digital linear tape (DLT or SDLT), 1/4-in., 4 mm, or 8 mm tape drives.

The IBM® System Storage™ TS2900 Tape Autoloader is a single-drive, low profile automated tape solution and the first entry automation solution for small- to mid-market tape environments. The TS2900 leverages the technology of IBM half-high LTO tape drives to help create a high-capacity tape storage solution suited for handling backup and archival data storage for the Windows®, Linux® and other open system environments.

The IBM TS3100 Tape Library Express is well-suited for handling backup, save and restore, and archival data-storage needs for small to medium-size environments. With its single Ultrium™ 4 or Ultrium 3 tape drive 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 TS3100 Tape Library Express featuring half–high Ultrium technology is well–suited for handling backup, save and restore and archival data–storage needs for small to medium–size environments. With up to 2 Ultrium™ Half–High tape drive(s) and 24 tape cartridge capacity, the IBM TS3100 Half–High model is designed to leverage Linear Tape–Open™ (LTO) technology to help cost effectively handle growing storage requirements.

The IBM System Storage™ TS3200 Tape Library Express Model is designed for backup, save and restore, and archival data-storage needs for small to medium-size environments. The TS3200 is an external 4U standalone or rack-mountable unit that incorporates up to two Ultrium™ 4 or Ultrium 3 tape drives and 48 tape cartridge slots.

The IBM TS3200 Tape Library Express is well–suited for handling backup, save and restore and archival data–storage needs for small to medium–size environments. With up to 4 Ultrium™ Half–High tape drive(s) and 48 tape cartridge capacity, the IBM TS3200 model 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 one 9U expansion module. Future configurations will allow the interconnection of several 9U modules, allowing a TS3310 tape library to hold over 400 LTO tape cartridges.

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.

The IBM 7206 Model 336 External DDS Gen 5 (DAT72) Tape Drive is designed to be a cost effective tape drive featuring the popular DDS tape technology. It is designed to offer improved data quality and performance and increased capacity compared to the IBM 7206 Model 220. The 7206 Model 336 supports a migration path to greater tape storage capacity at a price point similar to IBM 7206-220 DDS4 tape drives.
