The IBM TS1170 is a tape storage drive with up to 50TB native and 150TB compressed format capacity.
Addressing the challenges of secure, scalable and cost-effective data storage that can handle the ever-growing volumes of data and offer quick retrieval can be overwhelming. However, these challenges can be overcome with the IBM TS1170 Tape Drive which provides secure, high-capacity storage of up to 50TB, meeting both the scalability and security concerns as your data needs continue to grow.
The IBM TS1170 Tape Drive offers an easy way to leverage high data density, improve security and a cost-effective long-term data retention infrastructure. TS1170 delivers high performance, improves capacity by 2.5 times and provides flexible data storage with support for data encryption.
Available with interfaces like FC-16 and SAS-12, TSS1170 helps you protect your investment in tape automation by offering compatibility with existing automation. It also supports the LTFS format in IBM Storage Archive enabling direct, intuitive and graphical access to data. By providing secure data encryption at rest, it maintains data confidentiality and protection against unauthorized access, helping you meet stringent compliance requirements and build trust with your customers.
Improve performance with 12Gb SAS and 16Gb FC interfaces, while maintaining compatibility with existing IBM tape automation installations. This way, you can protect your existing investment.
Execute faster data transfer of up to 400 MBps (up to 900 MBps compressed) with two 12 Gb/sec SAS ports or two 16 Gb/sec FC ports.
Achieve 2.5 times the capacity of TS1160, better performance, and reliability than other formats, providing a lower TCO. IBM 3592 enterprise drives are recognized as a state-of-the-art in tape technology.
Maintain the security of your sensitive corporate data by implementing a reliable and solid line of defense.
Share on a SAN through the existing FC 16 Gb interface. Plus, the SAS 12 interface supports modern data center commodity interfaces, at the lowest possible cost per interface.
High capacity of up to 50TB native and 150TB compressed helps reduce the need for additional tape drives and cartridges. Use fewer drives to reduce complexity of your tape infrastructure and more than double the compressed capacity of LTO-9 media.
IBM Storage Archive enables direct, intuitive and graphical access to data stored in tape drives and libraries by incorporating the IBM Linear Tape File System™ (LTFS) format standard. LTFS compatibility allows tape-stored data to be accessed as if it were on disk or flash storage.
Two different drive versions help optimize drive utilization and reduce infrastructure requirements. TS1170 can be shared on a storage area network through the existing Fibre Channel 16 Gb interface. It now also supports the SAS 12 Gb interface for use in distributed environments.
Air-gapping enables most tape cartridges to reside in library racks, so they are offline most of the time and are not electronically accessible to hackers or ransomware. Tape provides a robust line of defense to offer better protection for sensitive corporate data.
Supports connectivity to most open-systems servers to help simplify the storage environment and enable flexibility for growth and change in your data center. IBM Storage Protect and other compatible software can be used with TS1170 for storage and tape management.
IBM 3592 tape cartridges support multiple media options including re-writable, economy and WORM formats, all with flexible ordering options.
The TS1170-based encryption and associated IBM Security® Guardium® Key Lifecycle Manager components are supported in a wide range of environments, including select IBM Power® Systems, IBM System x, and other servers running Red Hat® , Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.6 operating system.
