IBM 3580 LTO Ultrium 2 Tape Drive

The IBM Ultrium Tape Drive offers breakthroughs in reliability, capacity and performance to meet the backup and archival needs for small to midrange environments.

Cartridge capacity
(Native/Compressed)
Ultrium 2: 200/400GB
Ultrium 1: 100/200GB
Max drive data rate Ultrium 2: 35/70MB/sec
Ultrium 1: 15/30MB/sec
Interface L23, L13, L11-LVD
H23, H13, H11-HVD

Integrates into the following storage environments: Server (non-IBM & IBM), Automated library, and SAN-attached

Adheres to the widely supported LTO specification which promotes standardization and allows for multiple media and drive providers

Provides superior performance and capacity attributes for unattended backup within midrange and enterprise server environments

Offers a choice of either SCSI attachment for direct attachment to a storage device or; FC attachment which allows multiple servers to be connected to a single storage device.

Compatible with major operating systems and ISV applications

Uses advanced technologies that optimize throughput, increase cartridge capacity and provide superior data protection

Ultrium 2 models of the IBM TotalStorage Ultrium External Tape Drive have a capacity of up to 400 GB with compression (2:1) with the use of the new IBM TotalStorage LTO Ultrium 200 GB Data Cartridge. IBM Ultrium 2 Tape Drives can read and write first generation LTO Ultrium Data Cartridges at original capacities and with improved performance. As your needs grow, you can build on this storage investment by moving to higher capacity and performance automated libraries employing the new IBM Ultrium 2 tape drive technology.

With its higher capacity and tape drive performance that more than doubles up to 35MB/sec native data transfer rate (70 MB/sec with 2:1 compression), the new IBM Ultrium External Tape Drive 3580 is an excellent alternative to DLT/SDLT; 1/4-inch, 4mm or 8mm tape drives.

 
 Advanced features
The IBM TotalStorage Ultrium External Tape Drive 3580 features Ultra 160 SCSI Low Voltage Differential (LVD) or Ultra SCSI High Voltage Differential (HVD) interfaces and can attach to IBM and non-IBM servers and workstations that support these interfaces. As a SCSI-attached tape solution, the IBM Ultrium External Tape Drive connects to Fibre Channel server adapters through selected IBM Storage Area Network Data Gateway products.

The IBM 3580 has an LCD display and indicators for write protection, tape in use, drive cleaning, and data compression.

 
 Software support
You can increase the power of the IBM TotalStorage Ultrium External Tape Drive by managing it with tape management solutions such as Tivoli® Storage Manager or other third party storage software.
 
 Why IBM LTO?
LTO is an open tape architecture developed by a consortium of three world-class storage producers.

IBM Ultrium drives share best-of-breed technology with advanced multi-track recording capabilities, magneto-resistive (MR) head and servo technologies, and high recording densities. Error correction code (ECC) function helps support data integrity.
