Finding a way to boost performance without increasing your footprint or your budget is key to improving utilization and reducing costs. With 1 TB native capacity and 120 MB/sec throughput, the StorageTek T10000B tape drive delivers a potent combination that enables you to double your capacity in the same footprint while simplifying media management.
A terabyte of data in less than 2.5 hours
As a result of its 120 MB/sec throughput, the StorageTek T10000B lets you write a terabyte of data in less than 2.5 hours, shrinking backup windows and saving staff time and resources. Add optional sport cartridges to the mix and get 2x faster average access to data.
Reduced power, and acquisition costs
In addition to providing you with the highest capacity and throughput, the energy-efficient StorageTek tape libraries and drives help you minimize power, cooling and acquisition costs when compared to disk in production, backup/restore, disaster recovery, and archive applications.

Broad Compatibility

Seamless integration protects your investment
The StorageTek T10000B tape drive protects your investment through media reusability, connectivity, and exceptional compatibility. It integrates seamlessly into your existing mainframe infrastructure and maximizes utilization by enabling you to re-use your existing T10000 media.
Compatible with third-party applications
What’s more, the StorageTek T10000B is compatible with Sun StorageTek enterprise libraries and integrates seamlessly with leading third-party enterprise software libraries and business applications. This simplifies deployment and maximizes your return on investment.
FICON and Fibre Channel connectivity
The StorageTek T10000B further simplifies deployment by providing both FICON and Fibre Channel connectivity. For the first time, the T10000B utilizes the same physical tape drive for FICON and Fibre Channel, allowing you to easily transition between both open systems and mainframe environments.

Reliable Performance

Designed for high duty cycle environments
The enterprise demands of start-stop and high duty cycles place components and subassemblies under tremendous stress. Each component and sub-assembly in the StorageTek T10000B is designed to meet these rigorous operational demands. The tape drive supports your most demanding 24×7 business operations with highly reliable, enterprise-class tape drive technology adapted from the proven Sun StorageTek T10000 tape drive.
Superior mechanics
The drive’s superior mechanics include a dual head design that reduces media wear, unique hub-locking cartridge design, the highest level of Error Code Correction capability available today, and the SafeGuide tape path.
SafeGuide tape path reduces media wear
Sun’s renowned SafeGuide tape path implements a 5-roller design that guides the media without contacting the tape data surface. Only the tape heads contact the data surface, reducing media wear and improving reliability.
Lower linear velocity ensures accuracy
While competitive drives run at higher linear velocities, the StorageTek T10000B’s lower speed ensures more accurate tracking at the head/tape interface. The lower velocity also ensures more gentle tape handling, improving long-term data reliability.

Protects Your Data

Meet your evolving data security and compliance requirements
With the StorageTek 10000B tape drive, you can take advantage of encryption and write-once read-many (WORM) technology to meet your evolving requirements for data security and compliance.
Built-in encryption capabilities
The StorageTek T10000B comes with built-in encryption that works in conjunction with the Sun Crypto Key Management System. This tape-encryption appliance provides a simple, centralized, scalable solution for managing the keys used to encrypt and decrypt data written by the tape drive. This ensures that only the right people have access to the data, and helps you avoid potential legal and financial problems caused by loss or theft of unencrypted data.
VolSafe keeps it safe and secure
In addition, Sun StorageTek VolSafe secure media technology provides WORM capability to help you meet stringent electronic storage regulatory and legal requirements You can store data securely on non-erasable, non-rewritable tape and recall it quickly when you need it.
