IBM System Storage TS2340 Tape Drive Express Model
Today, data is a key corporate asset in all types of businesses. The ability to access data quickly and reliably is critical to your success. Whether your business utilises a high-performance network server or individual workstations, archiving and retrieving data in a dependable and consistent manner is mission critical.
The IBM System Storage TS2340 Tape Drive – the entry-level IBM System Storage tape product family offering – is the answer to growing storage requirements and shrinking backup windows. Incorporating the fourth generation of advanced LTO technology, the TS2340 Tape Drive is suited for handling the backup, save and restore, as well as archival data storage needs of a wide range of small systems. In addition, the TS2340 provides added security features by supporting encryption of data with 3 Gigabits per second (Gbps) SAS connectivity.
The IBM System Storage TS2340 Tape Drive is an excellent tape storage solution for businesses requiring backup or low-cost, real-time archival storage of their data within a small window of time – it offers high capacity and performance to help address the most demanding requirements. The TS2340 has a physical storage capacity of up to 1.6 Terabyte (TB) (with 2:1 compression) in conjunction with the IBM Ultrium 800 Gigabyte (GB) data cartridge, which provides up to double the capacity of previous Ultrium 3 technology. Along with its higher capacity, the data transfer performance of the TS2340 Tape Drive has increased over the previous generation for a native data transfer rate of up to 120 MBps. The TS2340 Tape Drive continues to provide an excellent alternative to slower and smaller capacity 1/4-inch, 4 mm and 8 mm DLT/SDLT tape drives
