Abstract
The IBM TS3310 tape library offers high performance, capacity, and technology that is designed for reliability and the heavy demands of tape storage. The LTO Ultrium 8 cartridge has a native data capacity of 12 TB (30 TB at 2.5:1 compression). The LTO Ultrium M8 cartridge has a native data capacity of 9 TB (22 TB at 2.5:1 compression). The LTO Ultrium 7 cartridge has a native data capacity of 6 TB (15 TB at 2.5:1 compression). The LTO Ultrium 6 cartridge has a native data capacity of 2.5 TB (6.25 TB at 2.5:1 compression). The Ultrium 5 cartridge has a native data capacity of 1.5 TB (3 TB at 2:1 compression). This library is highly modular with scalability that varies from the base library 5U control module with up to four extra expansion units for a total of 41U height. This automated tape library incorporates high-performance IBM LTO Ultrium tape drives for the midrange to enterprise open systems environment. The Ultrium 4 cartridge has a native data capacity of 800 GB (1.6 TB at 2:1 compression). IBM LTO Ultrium 4 tape drives can read and write original LTO Ultrium 3 data cartridges and read LTO Ultrium 2 data cartridges. The Ultrium 3 cartridge has a native data capacity of 400 GB (800 GB at 2:1 compression). IBM LTO Ultrium 3 tape drives can read and write original LTO Ultrium 2 data cartridges and read LTO Ultrium 1 data cartridges.
The base TS3310 library contains the library control module, fixed tape cartridge storage of 30 slots, I/O station of 6 slots, a touchscreen display, cartridge handling robotics, and up to two LTO Ultrium tape drives.
