TS3100 Tape Library Express Model
- Designed to support the new IBM LTO™ Ultrium™ 4
and the LTO Ultrium 3 Tape Drives for increased capacity and performance
including 4 Gbps fibre channel, Low Voltage Differential (LVD) SCSI and 3 Gbps
SAS attachment

- Designed to support cost-effective backup,
save and restore and archival storage in sequential or random access mode with
a standard bar-code reader

- Designed to offer outstanding capacity,
performance and reliability for midrange and network tape-storage environments
in a 2U form factor with the 24 data-cartridge slots and a dedicated mail slot

- Remote library management through a standard
Web interface supports flexibility and greater administrative control of
storage operations

- Ultrium 4 native data capacities up to 19.2 TB
(38.4 with 2:1 compression) with 24 data cartridge slots and the use of LTO
Ultrium 4 Tape Drive with a native data rate of 120 MBps

- Ultrium 3 native physical data capacities up
to 9.6 TB (up to 19.2 TB using 2:1 compression) with the 24 data-cartridge
slots, and the use of LTO Ultrium 3 Tape Drive with a native data rate of up
to 80 MBps

The IBM System Storage™ TS3100 Tape Library Express Model and its storage
management applications are designed to address capacity, performance, data
protection, reliability, availability, affordability and application
requirements. It is designed as a functionally rich, entry tape-storage solution
incorporating LTO Ultrium tape technology. The IBM TS3100 Express model is an
excellent solution for large-capacity or high-performance tape backup with or
without random access. The TS3100 is also an excellent choice for tape
automation for IBM System p™, IBM RS/6000®, IBM System i™, IBM AS/400®,
IBM System x™ and other open systems.
The IBM TS3100 Tape Library Express is well-suited for handling backup, save and
restore and archival data-storage needs for small to medium-size environments.
With its single Ultrium 4 or Ultrium 3 Tape Drive and 24 tape cartridge
capacity, the IBM TS3100 model is designed to leverage LTO technology to cost
effectively handle growing storage requirements. The TS3100 Tape Library is
configured with two removable cartridge magazines, one on the left side and one
on the right. Additionally, the left magazine includes a single mail slot to
help support continuous library operation while importing/exporting media. A
bar-code reader is standard in the library, supporting the library’s operation
in sequential or random access mode. The TS3100 also comes standard with remote
management capabilities to allow for remote administration of the tape library
through a Web interface.
The new IBM Ultrium 4 drive has more than double the drive throughput of the
third-generation LTO Ultrium Tape Drives and up to nearly ten times the
throughput of the first-generation drive. The IBM LTO Ultrium 4 Tape Drives are
designed to support up to 120 MBps native data-transfer rates. In addition, with
the use of the new IBM TotalStorage® LTO Ultrium 800 GB Data Cartridge, the IBM Ultrium 4
Tape Drive doubles tape-cartridge physical capacity up to 800 GB native physical
capacity (1.6 TB with a 2:1 compression), providing an IBM TS3100 Tape Library
capacity of up to 38.4 TB with a 2:1 compression or 19.2 TB native. The IBM Ultrium
4 Tape Drives are designed to read and write third-generation LTO Ultrium data
cartridges and read LTO Ultrium 2 data cartridges with improved data rates. The
new Ultrium 4 technology helps support the encryption of data when using either
IBMLOT 4 four Gbps FC or 3 Gbps SAS tape drives. As storage needs grow, you can
build on this storage investment by moving to higher capacity and performance
automated libraries employing the new IBM Ultrium 4 Tape Drive technology.
The IBM TS3100 Tape Library Express features LVD SCSI, native switched, 4 Gbps
fibre-channel and 3 Gbps SAS interfaces for Ultrium 4 drives (LVD SCSI and 4
Gbps FC for Ultrium 3 drives) and can attach to a wide variety of open system
servers. The sequential or random access library comes in a stand-alone base
configuration with the option of an industry-standard 19-inch rack mount kit.
The IBM TS3100 also has an LCD display and indicators for power, drive and
activity, error status and message information.
