IBM System Storage TS3200 Tape Library Express Model
The new IBM System Storage™ TS3200 Tape Library Express Model is designed to offer high capacity and performance technology for the midrange open systems environments. The TS3200 Tape Library is an external 4U standalone or rack-mountable unit that incorporates up to two Linear Tape-Open™ (LTO) IBM TotalStorage® Ultrium 4 or 3 Tape. The new LTO Ultrium 4 tape drive has a native data rate of up to 120 Mbps, per drive.

The IBM System Storage TS3200 Tape Library Express Model is an excellent tape storage solution for organizations with existing digital linear tape or requiring high-performance automated tape backup. The TS3200 is also designed for organizations that have limited physical space in their IT environments. Operating in a rack environment allows organizations the advantage of placing the TS3200 in a standard 19" rack, which provides 76.8 TB of compressed tape storage in just a 4U space.

The TS3200 Tape Library can be ordered with up to two Ultrium 4 or Ultrium 3 LVD SCSI, 4 Gbps Fibre Channel 3 Gbps SAS (LTO4 only) drives, which allow connection to a wide spectrum of open systems servers. IBM Ultrium 4 tape drives can read and write LTO Ultrium 3 and read LTO Ultrium 2 data cartridges; in addition IBM Ultrium 4 tape drives in either 4 Gbps FC or 3 Gbps SAS attach help support encryption of data.

The TS3200 Tape Library has four removable cartridge magazines, providing 48 data cartridge slots, including one three I/O station. The TS3200 Tape Library provides a media capacity of up to 38.4 TB (76.8 TB with 2:1 compression) data storage per unit. Remote management and a bar code reader are standard in the library, allowing the library to run in sequential or random access mode. Optional features available are rack mount kit, additional power supply and Path Failover.
