IBM Ultrium Scalable Tape Library - A
flexible solution
In today's business environment, the number of
clients and servers continues to grow almost exponentially. From midrange
systems to large-scale server-based operations, the UltraScalable Tape
Library is designed to handle backup, archive, and disaster recovery data
storage needs with ease.
Advanced features
The UltraScalable Tape Library has a variety of advanced
technical features. The multi-path architecture is designed to enable you to
simultaneously attach heterogeneous servers and applications to LTO and
DLTtape(tm) logical library partitions.
Remote management capabilities using a Web browser provides library control
and configuration. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) functionality
is also included. LTO I/O expansion capability is available with a
20-cartridge option, which can be added to the standard10 cartridge feature.
Hot swap drives and redundant power offer enhanced availability. The
standard dual media picker has a barcode scanner for optical cartridge
recognition. To help provide data integrity, the library performs a fast
auto-inventory any time it is opened. A touch-screen LCD panel enables
convenient local review of library status and provides control over local
functions.
Software support
You can maximize the power of the UltraScalable Tape Library
by managing it with industry-leading tape management solutions such as
Tivoli(r) Storage Manager or other storage software. These solutions offer
highly automated, centrally scheduled, policy-managed backup and archive
facilities to protect data in distributed enterprises.
Why IBM LTO?
LTO is an open tape architecture developed by a consortium
of three world-class storage producers. Open means availability from
multiple vendors. IBM means a new technology from a time-proven and
innovative tape technology leader.
IBM LTO Ultrium drives share best-of-breed technology. Advanced multi-track
recording capabilities, state-of-the-art magneto-resistive (MR) heads, and a
sophisticated track following servo system work together to produce
extremely high recording densities. Error correction code (ECC) function
helps provide data integrity.
IBM and IBM authorized providers also provide service and technical support
when you invest in an IBM LTO Ultrium solution-including a complete array of
servers, software, printers, and storage devices.
