TS3500 Tape Library
A highly scalable, tape solution for System
z, IBM Virtual Tape Server and Open Systems
- Designed for IBM System z™,
IBM Virtualization Engine™ TS7700 and open systems environments
- Utilizes the IBM System Storage™ TS1120 Tape
Drive and IBM TotalStorage® 3592 Tape Drive Model J1A for System z, TS7700
Virtualization Engine and open systems environments
- Utilizes the IBM System Storage TS1040 Tape
Drive, using LTO™ Ultrium® 4 technology for increased capacity, throughput,
fast access performance and WORM (Write Once Read Many) data cartridges in
open systems environments
- Optional dual library accessor, with the
IBM System Storage TS3500 Model HA1, designed to increase library performance,
availability and reliability
- Supports TS1120 and TS1040 tape drive
encryption for data protection
The IBM System Storage TS3500 Tape Library (TS3500
tape library) is designed to provide a highly scalable, automated tape library
for mainframe and open systems backup and archive in midrange to enterprise
environments.
The TS3500 tape library supports System z via the IBM 3953 Tape System (3953
tape system). The 3953 tape system enables System z hosts to access the TS3500
tape library cartridge inventory and allows connection to TS1120 and 3592 J1A
tape drives. The TS3500 tape library can support up to four 3953 tape systems,
allowing for up to eight IBM Virtualization Engine TS7700 subsystems per
physical library
