The IBM TS1160 tape drive gives organizations an easy way to deliver fast access to data, improve security and cost-effective long-term data retention infrastructure. TS1160 offers high-performance, improved capacity, flexible data storage with support for data encryption.
TS1160 now offers FC, Ethernet/RoCE and SAS interfaces, helping to protect investments in tape automation by offering compatibility with existing automation. TS1160 also supports the LTFS format in IBM Storage Archive for direct, intuitive and graphical access to data.
Improves performance and provides compatibility with existing IBM tape automation installations. TS1160 offers SAS-12Gb/sec, RoCE 10 & 25Gb/sec and FC 16 Gb interfaces.
Offers native data transfer rates of up to 400 MBps (up to 900 MBps compressed) and new 10 Gb Ethernet host attachment or dual-port 16 Gb FC support.
IBM 3592 enterprise drives are recognized as a state of the art on Tape technology. The TS1160 delivers higher capacity, better performance, and reliability than other formats, providing a lower TCO.
Delivers increased native capacity per tape with double the capacity of TS1150.
Offers the ultimate line of defense and greater protection of sensitive corporate data.
Can be shared on a SAN through the existing FC 16 Gb interface. Plus, the Ethernet version is designed for hyperscale and RHEL environments with support for Ethernet 10Gb host and NAS attachment.
Leverage high capacity to help reduce the need for additional tape drives and cartridges. Use fewer drives to reduce complexity of your tape infrastructure. Double the compressed capacity of LTO-8 media.
IBM TS1160 leverages IBM Storage Archive for direct, intuitive and graphical access to data stored in IBM 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.
Three different drive versions to help optimize drive utilization and reduce infrastructure requirements. TS1160 can be shared on a storage area network though the existing Fibre Channel 16 Gb interface, the new Ethernet version designed for hyperscale and RHEL environments with support for Ethernet 10Gb host and NAS attachment, and now the SAS 12 Gb interface supported only in distributed environments.
Tape has become a critical component of robust data protection strategies to confront cybercrime. Tape's Air Gap implies that most tape cartridges typically reside in library racks meaning they are offline most of the time and are not electronically accessible to hackers or ransomware. Tape remains as the ultimate line of defense to offer greater protection of sensitive corporate data.
Help simplify the storage environment with support to most open-systems servers and enable flexibility for growth and change in your data center. What's more, IBM Storage Protect and other compatible software can be used with TS1160 for storage and tape management.
Utilize multiple media options including re-writable, economy and WORM formats, all with flexible ordering options.
The TS1160-based encryption and associated IBM Security 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.
IBM® TS4500 Tape Library is a next-generation storage solution designed to help midsized and large enterprises respond to cloud storage challenges. These challenges include high data volume growth in cloud and hybrid cloud infrastructures, increasing cost of storage footprints, the difficulty of migrating data across vendor platforms, and the increased complexity of IT training and management as staff resources shrink.
The IBM TS1170 Tape Drive Offers 50 TB (JF) maximum format capacity. Provides 400MB/s native data rate drive performance and includes FC-16 Gb or SAS 12 GB interface attachment.
The IBM LTO 9 tape drive delivers fast access to data, improves security and TCO for long-term data retention infrastructures with support for data encryption. Introducing Open Retrieval Access Order (oRAO) for faster data access.
The IBM® LTO Ultrium 9 data cartridge (LTO 9) offers better storage capacity than the previous generation for long-term data preservation and rapid, reliable access to data. The ninth generation of LTO Ultrium tape media delivers 18 TB native capacity and up to 45 TB of compressed capacity for even greater efficiency and performance. Purchasing LTO 9 data cartridges from IBM gives you peace of mind in sourcing media from a trusted, time-proven tape technology leader. Discover how the LT0 9 can help you manage explosive data growth, sustain rapid, reliable access to data and ensure business resilience.
IBM Storage Archive, a member of the IBM Storage family, gives you direct, intuitive and graphical access to data stored in IBM tape drives and libraries by incorporating the Linear Tape File System™ (LTFS) format standard for reading, writing and exchanging descriptive metadata on formatted tape cartridges. Storage Archive eliminates the need for additional tape management and software to access data. Storage Archive offers three software solutions for managing your digital files with the LTFS format: Single Drive Edition, Library Edition and Enterprise Edition.
IBM Storage Protect provides scalable data protection for physical file servers, applications, and virtual environments. Organizations can scale up to manage billions of objects per backup server. They can reduce backup infrastructure costs with built-in data efficiency capabilities and the ability to migrate data to tape, public cloud services and on-premises object storage. IBM Storage Protect can also be a data offload target for IBM Storage Protect Plus, providing an ability to leverage your existing investment for long-term data retention and disaster recovery.
