TKZ62/63 Tape drive family
Using IBM 3480/3490/3490E compatible half-inch tape formats, the TKZ6x tape drive family has proven to be an effective way to maintain your IBM-compatible storage capabilities or add IBM-tape compatible media to your operation.
The TKZ6x tape drive family provides fast, dependable data interchange and/or unattended backup for IBM(R) 3480/3490/3490E users. With the SCSI-2 interface, connectivity is available on most Compaq CPUs and SCSI adapters, thereby allowing customers to maintain their IBM tape format across their entire enterprise.
The TKZ6x tape drive family provides a 10-cartridge loader, and a single loading drive in a 18/36-track IBM 3480/3490/3490E compatible format.
Benefits
Highlights
TKZ62 series: 18- and 36-track format
The TKZ62 series drives read and write 18-track format on common 540-ft and 600-ft half inch tape cartridges. Please note that it is not possible to do write appends to an 18-track tape cartridge already containing data.
The TKZ62 series can also read and write 36-track format on the 1,100-foot thin-tape cartridge used by the Compaq TA92, IBM, and IBM-compatible 3490E tape drives. This ability of a 36-track drive to read and write 18-track format is unique in the industry. The TKZ62 series is available only as a 10-cartridge loader in either tabletop, pedestal, or rackmount configurations.
TKZ63 series
Like the TKZ62 drive, the TKZ63 series can read and write 18- and 36-track format tape but does not have the 10-cartridge loader mechanism. Thus, the TKZ63 is a manual load, single-cartridge drive. The TKZ63 is available as a tabletop unit. With an optional rackmount kit, the TKZ63 tabletop unit can be cabinet mounted.
Build up, not out with rackmount systems
Rackmount systems pack more compute power and storage capacity per square foot of floor space than conventional deskside or cabinet models. But it’s rackmounting’s configuration flexibility that can really make a difference in meeting your needs. Using a building-block approach, you can configure the optimum system to meet its goals with both Compaq and third-party components. At the same time, there’s built-in flexibility to upgrade configurations as needs change.
Rapid deployment, reliable systems with VIS
Once you’ve made an acquisition decision, you don’t want to wait forever to deploy the solution, or disrupt operations as you bring it online.

Compaq Tape Interchange System for Alpha Windows NT
Make the transition from your minicomputer/mainframe environment to Windows NT client/ server computing on the 64-bit Alpha platform while maintaining the ability to access your 1600/ 6250 bpi reel-to-reel or IBM 3480/ 3490/3490E media with the Compaq Tape Interchange System (TIS) for Alpha Windows NT.
Imagine being able to take a tape written by an IBM, Unisys, Amdahl, or Fujitsu mainframe and read it with your ProLiant or AlphaServer(TM) Windows NT system! Or write a tape with the ProLiant or AlphaServer unit for reading by any mainframe. That’s the power of the Compaq TIS software.
Of course, you’re not limited to mainframe interchange. The Compaq TIS software enables you to read and write tapes from popular minicomputers running a variety of operating systems.
TKZ90 tape drive
Based on the IBM 3590 tape format, the TKZ90 tape drive delivers 9MB/s data transfer rates along with the ability to handle both start/stop and streaming applications. Qualified on selected Compaq AlphaServer systems running in the TRU64 UNIX or OpenVMS environments and ProLiant systems running WNT. This efficient, reliable drive is ideal for backing up large amounts of data in short periods of time.
TKZ9F 8mm tape subsystem
The TKZ9F is a state-of-the-art, high-performance, industry-standard Exabyte(TM) compatible 8mm tape subsystem with built-in data compression capability for both backup and data interchange. It is supported by the TRU64 UNIX, OpenVMS VAX, and OpenVMS Alpha platforms.
TSZ07 1600/6250 bpi Tape Drive
For many years, 9-track, phase-encoded, half-inch, ANSI-compatible tape drives have been the worldwide industry-standard. The TSZ07 meets these standards and eases the process of critical data interchange in many governmental and business applications.
