The IBM System Storage™ TS3400 Tape Library
offers the high capacity and performance advantage of the IBM System Storage
TS1130 or TS1120 Tape Drives in a smaller automation footprint for IBM Power™
Systems, System x™, System z™1 and other open systems environments. The TS3400
tape library is an external 5U standalone or rack-mountable unit supporting one
or two TS1130 tape drives with a data transfer rate of up to 160 MBps per drive
or one to two TS1120 tape drives with a data transfer rate of up to 104 MBps per
drive.
The TS3400 tape library is an excellent tape
storage solution for organizations already using IBM enterprise tape drives in
their data centers who want to use the same technology in remote locations. The
TS3400 is also designed for organizations that have limited physical space in
their IT environments. The TS3400 can be installed in a standard 19" rack,
providing up to 54 TB of compressed tape storage in a 5U space.
The TS3400 tape library has two removable
cartridge magazines, providing 18 data cartridge slots. Up to three slots can be
used for I/O slots, and up to two slots can be used as cleaning cartridge slots.
The TS3400 tape library provides a media capacity of up to 18 cartridges,
allowing for up to 18 TB of storage (54 TB with 3:1 compression) when using 1 TB
extended capacity cartridges.
Remote management via a Web browser allows you
to communicate directly with the library and perform a wide range of end user,
operator and administrator tasks without being at the operator panel. To take
further advantage of your investment, you can partition the library into two
logical partitions to share the library between different applications. To
support continued processing, the TS3400 tape library is equipped with control
path and data path failover.
