The IBM TS3310 Tape Library is a modular, scalable tape library designed to address the tape storage needs of rapidly growing companies that find themselves space- and resource-constrained with tape backup and other tape applications.

Built around a 5U-high modular base library unit, the TS3310 can scale vertically with expansion for LTO Ultrium cartridges, drives and redundant power supplies.

For businesses challenged with rapidly growing data backup and long-term data retention needs and limited physical space for a tape library, the IBM TS3310 offers simple, rapid expansion as processing needs grow.

This tape library allows you to start small, with only a single 5U high library. Over time, as your need for tape backup expands, you can add additional 9U expansion modules, each of which contains space for additional cartridges, tape drives and a redundant power supply. The entire system grows vertically. Currently, available configurations include the 5U base library module and a 5U base, with up to four 9U expansion modules.

Features:

• Provides a modular, scalable tape library designed to grow with your needs

• Features desktop, desk-side and rack-mount configurations

• Delivers optimal data storage efficiency with high cartridge density, using standard or write-once-read-many (WORM) Linear Tape-Open (LTO) Ultrium data cartridges

• Can simplify user access to data stored on LTO Ultrium 7, 6 and 5 cartridges through the use of IBM® Spectrum Archive™ featuring IBM Linear Tape File System™ technology

Big data offers enormous opportunities for insight that can set you apart from the competition, but you need the right technology to help you manage and use that data. Cloud solutions from IBM can help you harness the power of big data more quickly while reducing costs and enabling a secure environment.

IBM TS4500 Tape Library is a next-generation storage solution designed to help midsized and large enterprises respond to cloud storage challenges. These challenges include high data volume growth in cloud and hybrid cloud infrastructures, increasing cost of storage footprints, the difficulty of migrating data across vendor platforms, and the increased complexity of IT training and management as staff resources shrink.

Features:

• Store up to 5.5 petabytes (PBs) of uncompressed data in a single frame library or scale up at 1 PB per square foot to 175.5 PBs

• Proactively monitor archived data with policy-based automatic media verification

• Strengthen security and regulatory compliance with data encryption and write-once-read-many (WORM) media

• Increase mount performance and overall system availability with dual robotic accessors

• Support any combination of Linear Tape-Open (LTO) Ultrium 7, 6, and 5, and IBM® TS1150 and TS1140 tape drives

• Simplify user access to data stored on tape cartridges via IBM Spectrum Archive™ featuring IBM Linear Tape File System™ technology

• Provide a flexible upgrade path for users who want to expand their tape storage as their needs grow

• Reduce the storage footprint and simplify cabling with 10U of rack space on top of the library
