The IBM TotalStorage 3592 Tape Drive Model J1A is designed to provide high capacity and performance for storing mission critical data. By offering significant advancements in capacity and data transfer rates, the 3592 Tape Drive helps address storage requirements that are often filled by two types of drives – those that provide fast access for data access and those that provide high capacity for backups. The 3592 Tape Drive handles both types of use, helping simplify your tape infrastructure. Additionally, the 3592 Tape Drive Model J1A offers Write Once, Read Many (WORM) functionality that is designed to help support data retention needs and applications requiring an audit trail.

The 3592 drive also helps protect your existing investment in tape automation by offering compatibility with the IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Tape Library 3494 – in which it can coexist with 3490 and 3590 tape drives – and selected StorageTek Tape Libraries.

Supported on existing IBM and StorageTek automation

Offers native data transfer rate of up to 40MB/sec

Supports 60 and 300 GB rewritable and WORM cartridges

Supports fast access to data with 60 GB or 300 GB cartridge

Transfer Data Faster

The 3592-J1A Tape Drive supports a sustained native data transfer rate of 40 MB/sec. This increases data access speed, reducing backup and recovery times, as well as High Availability requirements.

Store Up to 900GB Per Tape

A 3592 can store 300GB of uncompressed data on one cartridge. At 3:1 compression, capacity triples to 900GB. This is the equivalent of five 3590H cartridges.

The 3592 uses a single media type-the IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Tape Cartridge 3592-which can be reformatted as required.

Choose The Best Connection for You

The 3592 is designed to integrate easily into IBM Enterprise Tape Library 3494, StorageTek 9310 Powderhorn Tape Library or a stand-alone rack.

It also attaches readily to these computers and operating systems:

To use the 3592-J1A with zSeries servers, S/390 servers, IBM OS/390, VSE/ESA, z/OS, z/VM operating systems you will need a IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Tape Controller 3590 Model A60 or Enterprise Tape Controller 3592 Model J70. The 3592 Model J70 creates the bridge between the 3592 tape drive and the IBM server ESCON and FICON interfaces.

The 3592 Model J70 Controller enables up to twelve 3592-J1As and as many as eight ESCON server attachments and up to four FICON server attachments. The maximum channel speed for ESCON attachments is 17MB/sec simplex; maximum distance (direct-attach) is 1.8 miles. FICON, of course, runs both faster (2GB/sec full-duplex) and farther 6.2 miles.
