| Open nature of LTO ultrium format makes it the
industry-leading backup technology. LTO tape technology is
the data managers top choice that addresses the exploding
storage needs at an economical cost. IBM media storage devices are built tough for superior cost efficiency, and offer the ideal combination of flexibility, performance and durability. IBM utilized its rigorous engineering and vast technical experience to develop the new advanced TS3100 tape library. IBM TS3100 is a smart choice for IBM Power Systems, tape automation, open systems and high demanding environments. IBM TS3100 library features highly reliable store management applications which have been introduced to efficiently fulfill the data protection, performance, reliability, capacity, affordability and investment protection requirements. Good news is that the IBM TS3100 tape library supports the newest LTO-5 tape generation. IBM TS3100 tape library offers you more flexibility and allows you to easily increase your storage capacity by installing up to two IBM LTO-5 half-height drives or one IBM LTO-5 full-height drive. The most compelling feature is the remote library management, which allows you to control backup operations with the help of standard web interface. IBM TS3100 library is well-suited for small and mid-range environments. It supports two half-height or one full-height tape drive along with capacity of 24 tape cartridges. IBM TS3100 library assures investment protection, because it does not only support the LTO-5 tape generation but it is also compatible with LTO-4 and LTO-3 tape generations. Both full-height and half-height LTO-4 drives are supported by IBM TS3100 tape library, and you can use only the half-height LTO-3 tape drives. Therefore the IBM TS3100 library enables you to handle the increasing storage demands in a cost effective manner. Below are listed few of the leading LTO tapes: TDK LTO 5 tape 61857 Imation LTO 5 tape 27672 Sony LTO2 tape LTX200GWW Maxell LTO2 ultrium tape 183850 HP LTO-3 tape C7973a Fuji LTO-3 tape 26230002 HP LTO1 tape C7971A Dell LTO-1 tape 09W084 Sony LTO 1 tapes LTX100G HP LTO 4 tapes C7974A Dell LTO 4 tapes 341-4647, 341-4640 IBM TS3100 tape library provides faster transfer speed. The native transfer speed with different LTO tape drives are: 60 MB/s with LTO-3 half height drive 120 MB/s with LTO-4 half-height & full-height drives 140 MB/s with LTO-5 half-height & full-height drives IBM TS3100 library features 2 removable cartridge magazines. Each cartridge magazine has slots for 12 tape cartridges. These cartridge magazines are located on the left and right side of the tape library. In addition to this, a single mail slot has been included in the left cartridge magazine, which allows you to import and export the media during library operations to assure unmatched performance and improved efficiency. The barcode reader further supports the archival and backup operations in random/sequential access mode. For improved media compatibility, IBM has introduced 6 GB/s SAS and 8 GB/s fibre channel interfaces for LTO-5 ultrium drives. On the other hand for the LTO-4 ultrium drives, IBM TS3100 tape library offers 4 GB/s, 3 GB/s SAS and LVD SCSI interfaces. These interfaces allow you to connect the tape library to a broad range of open-system servers. IBM TS3100 library is the best solution for the increasing backup needs. |
