Gain 50% more capacity and store up to 45TB of compressed data per cartridge with next-generation LTO Ultrium 9 technology
Half-height drive with LTO Ultrium 9 technology
The IBM Stand Alone Drive family is a half-height drive with LTO Ultrium 9 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, 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.
Gain 1.5 times the storage capacity in the same footprint. Store up to 45 TB (compressed) per cartridge, 5% higher capacity than previous-generation LTO cartridges.
Make tape-based data easy to access. IBM Storage Archive™ supports the tape-oriented IBM Linear Tape File System™ (IBM LTFS) which makes it easy to find and access data.
Enhance security and compliance with data encryption and Write Once Read Many (WORM) support.
Optimize space by installing either on a desktop or two TS2280s side-by-side on a 19-inch rack shelf. The compact external enclosure enables portability and flexible installation.
Allow users to create, manage and archive, including concurrent copies of content, plus active, inactive, and offsite content, by integrating with IBM Storage Protect™.
Integrate high-capacity tape backups with a variety of systems running Microsoft Windows or UNIX operating systems using cross-platform, open systems support.
IBM Storage Archive creates an efficient “data footprint” to store data long-term at an optimal cost, helping enhance performance and security.
Designed to natively support data encryption, with hardware encryption and decryption capabilities resident in the LTO Ultrium 9 tape drive itself.
