Today, data is a key corporate asset in all
types of businesses. The ability to access data quickly and reliably is critical
to your success. The main challenge for midmarket CIOs is how to
cost-effectively store, archive and retrieve an explosion of new information,
how to protect and secure that information, meet compliance requirements and
make information accessible for business insight, where and when it’s needed.
The IBM System Storage™ TS2250 Tape Drive
Express—the entry-level IBM System Storage tape product family offering—is the
answer to growing storage requirements. Incorporating the latest generation of
the industry-leading Linear Tape-Open™ (LTO™) technology, the TS2250 Tape Drive
is suited for handling backup, save and restore, and archival data storage needs
with higher capacity and higher data transfer rate than previous generation. In
addition, the IBM Ultrium™ 5 technology is designed to support media
partitioning, and the new IBM Long Term File System technology. It also
continues to support encryption of data and WORM media.
