Magstar MP (Multi-Purpose) 3570
Tape Subsystem
IBM’s Magstar™ MP 3570 Tape Subsystem created for the mid-sized storage
arena is ideal for traditional backup and for applications where fast access
to mass data is important. Magstar MP provides high performance for backup
and other tape applications. Data retrieval requests that require minutes
on other tape devices take only seconds on Magstar MP.
Connectivity: Magstar MP 3570 Tape Subsystems provide a storage
solution designed to function optimally with IBM’s iSeries and AS/400,
pSeries and RS/6000, xSeries and Netfinity servers, as well as non-IBM
hardware and software systems including HP-UX™, NT™, Sun™ , and Windows
2000™.
Automation ready: Magstar MP 3570 is designed for automation from the
heavy duty cartridge designed for repeated robotic handling to the broad
family of library offerings that store from 140GB to 420GB (3:1
compression).

| Overview |
| The IBM Magstar MP 3570 Tape Subsystem provides a
midrange tape storage solution that delivers high performance and
unsurpassed reliability. This compact, integrated tape storage device
expands the capability of tape processing by optimizing both read- and
write-intensive operations. The Magstar MP 3570 attaches to AS/400,
RS/6000, HP, Windows NT, Sun, and other SCSI-attached systems. |
|
| |
|
| The Magstar MP 3570 Tape Subsystem has been
enhanced to support the 7 GB Magstar MP Fast Access Linear Tape C-format
XL data cartridge and is backward read- and write-compatible with the 5
GB Magstar MP Fast Access Linear Tape B-format and C-format data
cartridges. Existing Magstar MP 3570 5 GB Model C drives can be upgraded
with this new feature. |
| |
Improved data integrity
The Magstar MP 3570 brings a new level of reliability and data integrity
to the midrange environment and is specifically designed for:
|
- Repeated tape load/unloads
- Higher tape drive duty cycles
- Increased overall mechanical reliability
- Increased overall data reliability
|
Faster data performance
The Magstar MP 3570 is designed to operate at fast sustained data
rates of up to 15MB per second (with maximum compression), satisfying
the high-performance demands of today's midrange
computing environments. Its data transfer performance is also balanced
to provide the fast data recall that satisfies the demand for responsive
file retrievals for near-online applications and high data transfer
performance for backup and recovery.
A Magstar MP 3570 library can have an unattended storage capacity of 140
to 420GB of data (with 3:1 data compression). The 3575 library expands
capacity to 6.8TB (with 3:1 compression). |
| |
|
Unattended tape operations and higher
storage capacity
Magstar MP technology is designed for integration with tape storage
devices that provide unattended tape handling. Magstar MP tape
subsystems can be installed for tape save/restore today and can later
evolve into advanced storage management solutions that provide better
combined use of disk and tape.
In unattended mode, the leading-edge characteristics of Magstar MP data
retrieval are readily apparent. Data retrieval requests that require
minutes on other tape devices take only seconds on Magstar MP, so you
can use tape for near-online storage.
This is possible in part because of the patented new Magstar MP Fast
Access Linear Tape Cartridge. The cartridge contains a self-enclosed
tape path that eliminates time-consuming and cumbersome tape threading,
loading, and unloading. In addition, the tape features an innovative new
midpoint load design that dramatically reduces random search times. |

|
Bar code reader
A bar code reader is standard on all Model C libraries. You can install
this feature on existing libraries to help you identify and inventory
cartridges faster and more efficiently. |
