TotalStorage Ultrium 2 Tape Drives can read and write original LTO Ultrium
data cartridges at first generation Ultrium 1 capacities with improved
performance. The Ultrium 2 tape drives and cartridges can be resident in the
same 3584 Library frame with first generation Ultrium tape drives and
Cartridges.
The UltraScalable Tape Library is designed with a variety of advanced
features. The IBM Multi-path Architecture and Advance Library Management
System (ALMS) are designed to simultaneously attach heterogeneous
servers and applications to LTO logical library partitions, including mixed
Ultrium drives and media.
In addition, the IBM TotalStorage UltraScalable Tape Library 3584 supports
IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Tape System 3592-J1A. When 3592 tape drives
are installed, the maximum number of library cartridge slots is 6260 and the
maximum number of drives is 192. The 3584 is designed to support up to 40
MB/sec native data transfer rates (120 MB/sec with 3:1 compression) and
offers a cartridge capacity of 300GB native (900GB with compression).
