IBM TotalStorage® Enterprise Tape Drive 3592

The IBM System Storage™ TS1120 Tape Drive (TS1120 tape drive) offers a solution to address applications that need high capacity, fast access to data or long-term data retention. It is supported in IBM tape libraries, IBM frames that support stand-alone installation, and in an IBM 3592 Tape Frame Model C20 (3592 C20 frame) attached to a Sun StorageTek 9310 library.

The tape drive uses IBM 3592 Cartridges, which are available in limited capacity (100GB) for fast access to data, and standard capacity (500GB) or extended capacity (700GB) that help to reduce resources to lower total cost. All three cartridges are available in re-writable or Write Once Read Many (WORM) format.

TS1120 tape drives can be shared among supported open system hosts on a Storage Area Network (SAN) or between IBM FICON® and ESCON® mainframe hosts when attached to an IBM System Storage TS1120 Tape Controller (TS1120 tape controller). Sharing drives optimizes drive utilization and helps reduce infrastructure requirements.
 

The TS1120 tape drive supports a native data transfer rate of up to 104 MBps. In open system environments where data typically compresses at 2:1, the TS1120 tape drive can transfer data up to 200 MBps. In a mainframe environment where data typically compresses at 3:1, a single tape drive can transfer data up to 260 MBps. This can help reduce backup and recovery times or require fewer resources to support the environment.

The IBM System Storage™ TS1120 Tape Controller is designed to offer ESCON® and FICON® attachment of either IBM System Storage TS1120 or TotalStorage 3592 J1A Tape Drives in an IBM System Storage TS3500 or TotalStorage 3494 Tape Library, IBM TotalStoage 3592 ModelC20 frame or standalone rack or frame. To support drives in a 3494 tape library and 3592 C20 frames, the TS1120 tape controller must reside in an IBM 3952 Tape Frame Model F05.

IBM System Storage TS1120 Tape Controller

 

Tape drives can be shared by FICON and ESCON hosts which may help reduce hardware and infrastructure requirements. The TS1120 tape controller also offers the ability to perform non-disruptive addition of tape drives which helps enhance configuration flexibility and availability.

The IBM System Storage™ TS1120 Tape Drive offers a solution to address applications that need high capacity, fast access to data or long-term data retention. It is supported in IBM tape libraries or frames that support stand-alone installations, and is supported in an IBM 3592 C20 frame attached to a StorageTek 9310 library. It is designed to help reduce the complexity and cost of the tape infrastructure.

Technology leadership

The TS1120 Tape Drive provides up to 60% more capacity and 150% more performance than the IBM TotalStorage 3592 J1A tape drive that it supersedes, and more than eight times the capacity and seven times the performance of the IBM TotalStorage 3590 H1A tape drive. The tape drive uses the existing 3592 media-which is available in re-writable or Write Once Read Many (WORM) media to store 100GB or 500GB depending on cartridge type. The 3592 JA/JW media helps reduce resources to lower total costs, whereas the 3592 JJ/JR media is designed to support applications that require rapid access to data.

In an open systems or mainframe environment, the TS1120 tape drive can use the 3592 JJ cartridge or format a 3592 JA cartridge to a 100GB capacity to reduce the average locate time using a unique function called Capacity Scaling. Tape drives can be shared among supported open system hosts on a Storage Area Network (SAN), or between FICON® and ESCON® hosts when attached to a 3592 J70 controller. This optimizes drive utilization and helps reduce infrastructure requirements.

High performance

The TS1120 tape drive supports a native data transfer rate of up to 100 MBps. In open system environments where data typically compresses at 2:1, the TS1120 tape drive can transfer data up to 200 MBps. In a mainframe environment where data typically compresses at 3:1, a single tape drive can transfer data up to 144 MBps. This can help reduce backup and recovery times or require fewer resources to support the environment.

The IBM System Storage™ TS1120 Tape Drive model E05 offers a solution to address applications that need high capacity, fast access to data or long-term data retention. It is supported in IBM tape libraries or frames that support stand-alone installations, and is supported in an IBM frame attached to a StorageTek 9310 library.
