Rush to E-commerce, flood of Emails, new legislations, and larger financial databases have increased pressure on data administrators and I.T professionals.

IBM offers affordable and reliable media storage solutions, which are trusted by the data intensive organizations. TS3200 tape library and its data management applications are intelligently engineered by IBM. TS3200 tape library addresses the data protection demands of desktop workstations, large scale enterprises, SMBs, automated systems and data centers at an economical cost.

IBM TS3200 is a functionally rich tape library that assures long term data protection with the support of LTO tape technology. TS3200 tape library performs brilliantly with IBM System x, IBM Power Systems and all other industry leading open system servers.

Good new is that the tape library is also compatible with LTO 5 tape format. The other supported tape formats are LTO-3 tape and LTO-4 ultrium tape. The customers can confidently install up to four LTO half-height drives or two full-height drives. In addition to this, the IBM TS3200 library features 48 slots for tape ...
... cartridges. The data managers can configure the tape library with 4 removable cartridge magazines, one pair of cartridge magazine on right side and other pair on the left side. Each magazine can accommodate up to 12 LTO ultrium tape cartridges. LTO-5 tape drives operate at a faster speed of 140 Mbps while the LTO4 drives and LTO3 drive feature 120MB/s and 60 MB/s transfer rate respectively.

IBM has also incorporated a bar-code reader in TS3200 library that provides support in both random and sequential access mode. TS3200 tape library features fiber channel, SAS and LVD (Low Voltage Differential) SCSI host interfaces. Now the customers can also perform the operations from remote locations with the help of its exceptional web interface. Remote library management provides greater administrative control and flexibility. IBM TS3200 library delivers unbeatable performance in a 4U form factor, which makes it an ideal choice for space-constrained environments.

TS3200 tape library is well suited for small to mid-range enterprises. As it supports the LTO ultrium format, the customers will be provided more benefits due to the interoperability of LTO data tapes among different brands of LTO drives. LTO data tapes and drives feature longer archival life, low maintenance cost and offer lowest cost per gigabyte.

With fast speed LTO-5 tape format, you will get maximum of 144 TB compressed recording capacity, 76.8 TB with LTO-4 ultrium format and 38.4 TB with LTO-3 media.

“Path failover” is an optional feature that automatically controls the tape path in case if the host adapter is lost.
