The IBM System Storage™ TS3500 Tape Library (machine type 3584) is designed to provide enhanced tape drive technology and support while helping to protect the investment of existing IBM 3584 Tape Library installations.
It is designed to be a highly scalable, automated tape library combining IBM automation technology for midrange to enterprise open systems environments. The TS3500 Tape Library Models L53 and D53 frames now integrate and support the IBM System Storage TS1040 Linear Tape-Open (LTO) Ultrium 4 Fibre Channel Tape Drive, with its enhanced native data rate of up to 120 MB/sec and 800 GB native LTO Ultrium 4 data cartridge physical capacity. The TS3500 Tape Library Models L23 and D23 frames integrate the IBM System Storage TS1120 Tape Drive with 4-Gbps dual-ported switched fabric Fibre Channel attachment.
The IBM System Storage TS1040 LTO Ultrium 4 Tape Drive supports data encryption on the base drive with Ultrium 4 media meeting LTO consortium specifications and Application Managed Encryption. Support System Managed and Library Managed Encryption, and associated IBM Encryption Key Manager access is available as a chargeable licensed key feature under the TS3500 Tape Library L-frames.
For bulk media handling and useful for customers who import and export many cartridges per day, the TS3500 Tape Library supports four I/O stations in newly purchased Models D23 or D53 frames. The D-frame with I/O installed is comprised of four independently accessible I/O station doors that have a total of 64 slots (16 in each I/O station door). Additionally, two LED indicators are provided for each I/O station in a D-frame in order to indicate if the I/O station is empty or full and if the I/O station door is locked or unlocked. This plant feature reduces the frame storage slot capacity by 160 for a Model D23 and by 176 for a Model D53. The I/O stations increase the maximum library I/O slot capacity from 32 to 224 due to a maximum of three D23 or D53 I/O frames in a 16-frame library. The multiple I/O stations double the maximum insert/eject throughput compared to L-frames only I/O stations. The D23 and D53 Models are compatible with existing Models L22, L32, L52, D22, D32, and D52.
Additional functions and features for the TS3500 Tape Library include a single feed bifurcated AC line cord, rack mountable TS3000 Service Console, and custom control of Web user interface access.
