The IBM System Storage
™
TS3310 Tape Library offers high performance, capacity,
and technology designed for reliability and the heavy demands of tape storage.
The Ultrium 5 cartridge has a native data capacity of 1500 GB (3000 GB at 2:1
compression). This library is highly modular with scalability varying from the base
library 5U control module with up to four additional expansion units for a total of
41U height. This automated tape library incorporates high-performance IBM LTO
Ultrium Tape Drives for the midrange to enterprise open systems environment.
The Ultrium 4 cartridge has a native data capacity of 800 GB (1600 GB at 2:1
compression). IBM LTO Ultrium 4 tape drives can read and write original LTO
Ultrium 3 data cartridges and read LTO Ultrium 2 data cartridges. The Ultrium 3
cartridge has a native data capacity of 400 GB (800 GB at 2:1 compression). IBM
LTO Ultrium 3 tape drives can read and write original LTO Ultrium 2 data
cartridges and read LTO Ultrium 1 data cartridges.
The base TS3310 library contains the library control module, fixed tape cartridge
storage of 30 slots, I/O station of 6 slots, a touch screen display, cartridge handling
robotics, and up to two LTO Ultrium tape drives.
You can add up to 4 optional expansion modules to a control module.
Note: Rack doors are required for any library that has more than 14 drives
installed.
Each 9U expansion module can accommodate up to 4 LTO Ultrium Tape Drives
and up to 92 tape cartridge slots including 12 configurable I/O station slots.
This library supports LTO Ultrium 5 native switched fabric Fibre Channel
attachment, and LTO Ultrium 4 Tape Drives with either Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)
or native switched fabric Fibre Channel attachment for connection to a wide
spectrum of open system servers. This library also supports LTO Ultrium 5 native
switched fabric Fibre Channel attachment. It also supports LTO Ultrium 3 Tape
Drives with either LVD Ultra160 SCSI or native switched fabric Fibre Channel
attachment.
