Designed to provide greater capacity and
performance to address the most demanding backup and archiving requirements
Our world has become more instrumented,
interconnected and intelligent. In this new environment, where storage
requirements are doubling every one to two years, smarter midsize companies
strive to store, archive and retrieve information efficiently, while driving
down IT costs. You need to protect and secure the information, meet compliance
requirements and make your information available when you need it. The TS2350
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.
The IBM® System Storage™ TS2350 Tape Drive
Express—part of the entry-level IBM System Storage tape product family—supports
these needs by leveraging the newest generation of Linear Tape-Open™ ( LTO)
technology to help cost-effectively handle growing storage requirements.
