IBM LTO Ultrium Fibre Channel Tape Drives. It is designed to provide excellent price
and performance in the open systems environments where the tape automation
requirements are satisfied by 1 to 16 drives or a library native capacity of up to 11.7
PB.
The TS4500 tape library Base Frame Model L25 offers up to 660 (up to 550 in frame
1) slots for 3592 tape cartridge media and up to 16 (up to 12 in frame 1) IBM
TS1140 Tape Drives, with a library native capacity of up to 14.2 PB. The TS1140
Tape Drives are designed to provide high capacity, performance, and reliability in
open systems environments with tape drive flexibility to accommodate capacity, as
well as fast access where these requirements are needed.
Up to 3 TS4500 tape library Expansion Frame 3584 Model D25 or D55 can be added
to either Model L25 or L55. Model D25 provides up to 740 cartridge slots for 3592
media (up to 590 in frame 1), and can contain up to 16 TS1140 Tape Drives (up
to 12 in frame 1). Model D55 provides up to 970 slots for LTO media (up to 774 in
frame 1), and can contain up to 16 Ultrium Fibre Channel Tape Drives (up to 12
in frame 1). This can provide a total TS4500 library capacity of up to 60 IBM LTO
Ultrium or TS1140 Tape Drives per library string.
The Model S25 HD frame provides storage for up to 1,000 3592 cartridges (up to
798 in frame 1), while the Model S55 HD frame provides storage for up to 1,320
LTO cartridges (up to 1054 in frame 1). This can provide a total TS4500 library
capacity of up to 3,550 3592 cartridge slots holding up to 14.2 PB of native physical
capacity or with up to 4,690 LTO Ultrium cartridge slots holding up to 11.7 PB of
native physical capacity.
The TS4500, part of a family of IBM tape products, can be the answer to growing
storage requirements and shrinking backup windows. If you require high-
performance, automated tape backup, the TS4500 Tape Library constitutes an
excellent tape storage solution.
If you have existing digital linear tape experience or require high-performance
automated tape backup, the TS4500 tape library constitutes an excellent tape
storage solution. In addition to reading and writing on LTO Ultrium-format tape
cartridges, the TS4500 tape drives provide an enhanced functional alternative to
DLT/SDLT, 1/4-inch, 4 mm, 8 mm, or IBM Magstar® MP 3570 tape drives.
For lower capacity requirements, a wide spectrum of tape libraries are available
from the family of IBM Ultrium Tape products, depending on your storage usage and
requirements. Tape automation products to choose from include the IBM TS3310
Tape Library (up to 169.6 TB compressed), IBM TS3200 Tape Library (up to 35.2 TB
compressed), and IBM TS3100 Tape Library (up to 17.6 TB compressed).
