IBM LTO Tape Drives & Libraries

IBM Tape Storage Cyber resilient, energy-efficient tape storage with air gap and long-term retention at a lower cost than other media. Long-term backup Tape storage is used in system failure for data backup and to archive data for long-term storage. The long-term retention of data including the archiving of data, regulatory and legal holds are all critical to the business. Tape helps to lower carbon impact, total cost of ownership (TCO) and energy consumption of long-term data retention. Tape Portfolio Stand-Alone Tape Drives IBM LTO-8 Tape Drive Data Sheet IBM LTO-9 Tape Drive Data Sheet The IBM Stand-Alone Drive family is a half-height drive with LTO technology. IBM Storage or third-party storage management software can extend the power of the Stand-Alone Drive tapes. As data continues to grow exponentially, cost and security have emerged as the top storage challenges. Incorporating the latest Linear Tape-Open (LTO) Ultrium technology, the IBM Stand-Alone Drive family is designed to help small and medium businesses handle the growing data demands of modern tape use cases like cloud, Internet of Things (IoT) and active file archive. Low Profile, Entry-Level Storage IBM TS2900 Tape Autoloader Data Sheet The IBM TS2900 Tape Autoloader is an entry-level automated backup for rack systems and small to midsize businesses. With a low-profile, high-density storage capacity, the TS2900 is ideally suited for backup and archival operations. The TS2900 is available with half-height LTO Ultrium tape technology, with 12 and 6 Gbps SAS drive options. Web-based remote management and a bar code reader help provide ease of use. The TS2900 can be used in a rack system or on a desktop next to a server in an office. High-Density, Easy To Manage IBM TS4300 Tape Library Data Sheet IBM TS4300 Tape Library is a high-density, highly scalable, easy-to-manage solution designed to keep data securely stored long-term, while helping reduce the costs associated with data centre space and utilities. Its modular design enables you to increase cartridge and drive capacity as needed—scale vertically up to sixteen modules with expansion for Linear Tape-Open (LTO) Ultrium cartridges, drives and redundant power supplies. IBM TS4300 enhanced modern data protection helps meet security and compliance requirements.
