Introduction IBM System Storage TS3500 Tape Library (also known as IBM TotalStorage UltraScalable Tape Library 3584) The IBM System Storage TS3500 Tape Library is a highly scalable, automated tape library combining IBM automation technology for midrange to enterprise open systems environments. The TS3500 Tape Library supports logical partitioning and can house both IBM LTO Ultrium and IBM TotalStorage Enterprise 3592 Tape Drives (in separate frames). With scalability of one to sixteen frames and up to 192 tape drives, the TS3500 tape library can have an expanded available storage capacity of over 5000 TB (with 3:1 compression) using TotalStorage Enterprise 3592 Tape Drives. IBM System Storage TS3310 Tape Library The IBM System Storage TS3310 Tape Library is a modular, scalable tape library designed to scale vertically with expansion for Linear Tape Open (LTO) tape cartridges, drives, and redundant power supplies. The base library module, model L5B, is the entry point for the product family. It contains all of the necessary robotics and intelligence to manage the 5U high library system, which houses up to 36 cartridges (30 storage slots and 6 Input/Output slots) and two LTO generation 3 tape drives. The TS3310 model L5B can be expanded with the addition of expansion units, the model E9U. Each model E9U contains 92 physical LTO cartridge storage cells and space for up to four LTO generation 3 tape drives. Additionally, the E9U has space for up to two (one redundant) power supply modules (At least one power supply module must be installed if a drive is present in the E9U). IBM System Storage TS3400 Tape Library The IBM System Storage TS3400 TAPE LIBRARY is designed to offer high performance drive technology and automation for the open systems environment. The TS3400 Tape Library is an addition to the family of IBM System Storage tape library offerings. The TS3400 Tape Library is an external 5U stand-alone or rack-mountable unit that incorporates up to two IBM System Storage TS1120 Tape Drives Model 3592-E05 (Machine Type 3592, Model E05), which are ordered separately. It comes with 4 Gbps dual-ported switched fabric Fibre Channel attachment. The TS1120 Tape Drive has a native data transfer rate of up to 100 MB/ sec. per drive. IBM System Storage TS3100 Tape Library The IBM System Storage TS3100 (Machine Type 3573) Tape Library provides a compact, high-capacity, low-cost solution for simple, unattended data backup. This unique design houses up to 22 tape cartridges in a compact 2U form factor with easy access to tape cartridges via two removable magazines and an Input/Output (I/O) Station. Legacy Products IBM TotalStorage Ultrium Scalable Tape Library 3583 The IBM TotalStorage Ultrium Scalable Tape Library 3583 is an automated tape library that incorporates IBM Ultrium tape drives in either a stand alone or optional rack mount configuration. Three different library models are available with storage capacities of 18 through 72 slots and one to six Ultrium tape drives. The IBM TotalStorage Ultrium Scalable Tape Library 3583 can be used for save, restore and mass storage archives where multi-terabyte capacities are required. IBM TotalStorage Ultrium Tape Library 3582 The IBM TotalStorage Ultrium Tape Library 3582 is an entry tape library incorporating high-performance IBM TotalStorage Ultrium generation 2 Tape Chapter 1.
