• Remote library management through a standard Web interface supports flexibility and greater administrative control of storage operations
  
   
• Ultrium 3 native physical data capacities up to 9.6 TB (up to 19.2 TB using 2:1 compression) with the 24 data cartridge slots, and the use of 1-2 LTO Ultrium 3 Half High Tape Drive(s) with a native data rate of up to 60 MBps

The IBM System Storage™ TS3100 Tape Library Express Model featuring half-high Ultrium 3 technology and its storage management applications are designed to address capacity, performance, data protection, reliability, availability, affordability and application requirements. It is designed as a functionally rich, entry tape storage solution incorporating LTO Ultrium tape technology. The IBM TS3100 Express model featuring half-high Ultrium 3 technology is an excellent solution for large-capacity or high-performance tape backup with or without random access. The TS3100 featuring half-high Ultrium 3 technology is also an excellent choice for tape automation for IBM System p™, IBM System i™, IBM System x™ and other open systems.

The IBM TS3100 Tape Library Express featuring half-high Ultrium 3 technology is well-suited for handling backup, save and restore, and archival data storage needs for small to medium-size environments. With the use of up to 2 Ultrium 3 Half High Tape Drives and 24 tape cartridge capacity, the IBM TS3100 HH model is designed to leverage LTO technology to cost effectively handle growing storage requirements. The TS3100 Tape Library featuring half-high Ultrium 3 technology is configured with two removable cartridge magazines, one on the left side (12 data cartridge slots) and one on the right (12 data cartridge slots). Additionally, the left magazine includes a single mail slot to help support continuous library operation while importing/exporting media. A barcode reader is standard in the library, supporting the library’s operation in sequential or random access mode. The TS3100 HH also comes standard with remote management capabilities to allow for remote administration of the tape library through a Web interface.

The IBM LTO Ultrium 3 Half High Tape Drives are designed to support up to 60 MBps native data transfer rates. In addition, with the use of the IBM TotalStorage® LTO Ultrium 400 GB Data Cartridge, the IBM Ultrium 3 Half High Tape Drive doubles tape cartridge physical capacity up to 400 GB native physical capacity (800 GB with a 2:1 compression), providing an IBM TS3100 Tape Library featuring half-high Ultrium 3 technology capacity of up to 19.2 TB with a 2:1 compression or 9.6 TB native. The IBM Ultrium 3 Half High Tape Drives are designed to read and write second-generation LTO Ultrium data cartridges and read LTO Ultrium 1 data cartridges with improved data rates of up to 20 MBps native data transfer rate (40 MBps with 2:1 compression). As storage needs grow, you can build on this storage investment by moving to a higher capacity and performance automated library employing the new IBM Ultrium 3 Half High Tape Drive technology.

The IBM TS3100 Tape Library Express featuring half-high Ultrium 3 technology features an LVD SCSI or a 3 Gbps SAS interface and can attach to a wide variety of open system servers. The sequential or random access library comes in a stand-alone or optional rack-mountable configuration. The IBM TS3100 HH also has an LED display and indicators for power, drive and activity, error status and message information.
