3580 Ultrium Tape Drive |
| Today, all
types of businesses rely on data as a key corporate asset. You must be
able to access data quickly and reliably, archive large databases and retrieve
them when needed, and complete these tasks economically--whether you are
using a high-performance network server or an individual workstation.
The IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive is
the building block of a new family of scalable, flexible tape solutions.
By fully leveraging advanced Linear Tape-Open (LTO) technology, the IBM
3580 is ideal for handling the backup, save/restore, and archival data
storage needs of a wide range of small systems.
The IBM 3580 has a capacity of up to
200 GB with compression. As your needs grow, you can build on this storage
investment by moving to the IBM 3581 Tape Autoloader (compressed data capacity
of up to 1.4 TB). As your storage requirements grow, you can choose the
IBM 3583 Ultrium Scalable Tape Library (compressed data capacity of up
to 14.4 TB) or the IBM 3584 UltraScalable Tape Library (compressed data
capacity of up to 496.2 TB). The tape media is interchangeable among all
four devices.
With its higher capacity and performance,
the IBM 3580 is an excellent alternative to DLT, 1/4-inch, 4 mm, or 8 mm
tape drives. It has a sustained data transfer rate of up to 30 MB/sec (compressed). |

| Advanced
features |
| The IBM 3580 features
Ultra2/Wide SCSI Low Voltage Differential (LVD) or Ultra/Wide SCSI High
Voltage Differential (HVD) interfaces and can attach to IBM and non-IBM
servers, workstations, and personal computers that support these interfaces.
As a SCSI-attached tape solution, the IBM 3580 connects to fibre channel
server adapters through selected IBM Storage Area Network Data Gateway
products. Future plans include Fibre Channel-Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) attachment.
The IBM 3580 has an LCD display and
indicators for write protection, tape in use, drive cleaning, and data
compression. |

|
| Software
support |
| You can maximize the power
of the IBM 3580 by managing it with industry-leading tape management solutions
such as Tivoli** Storage Manager or other industry-recognized storage software.
These solutions offer highly automated, centrally scheduled, policy-managed
backup and archive facilities to protect data in distributed enterprises. |

| Why
IBM LTO? |
| LTO is an open tape architecture
developed by a consortium of three world-class storage producers. Open
means availability from multiple vendors. IBM means a new technology from
a time-proven and innovative tape technology leader.
IBM Ultrium drives share best-of-breed
technology with advanced multi-track recording capabilities, magneto-resistive
(MR) head and servo technologies, and high recording densities. Error correction
code (ECC) function helps provide data integrity.
IBM also provides worldwide service
and technical support when you invest in an IBM Ultrium solution--including
a complete array of servers, software, printers, and storage devices. |
