IBM TS Tape Libraries

IBM Tape Storage (TS) tape libraries provide a reliable storage solution that ensures high data capacity and excellent back-up performance. Able to expand by scaling vertically, an IBM tape library is an ideal choice for small to medium-sized businesses that find themselves outgrowing their current space. Additionally, if you are limited by resources as well as space, an IBM LTO tape library reduces costs by simplifying previously complex tape infrastructure and operations, as well as reducing overall IT support expenses.  Through providing real-time data backup in a short time frame, IBM tape libraries have the advantage of allowing quick and easy access to the most up-to-date statistics available.

Although forecasted to have declining usage, the tape library as a storage format remains highly competitive in the face of new and developing technologies because of the many advantages they offer for high-capacity storage backup. Some of the key advantages include: removability, the tapes can be easily removed for protective purposes; reliability, built with dependable IT technology; scalability, option to add more cartridges for increased storage capacity; and portability, allowing you to move the equipment to another location if desired. Cost-effective, IBM tape libraries are up to 10 times less than disk storage options and are available in many different configurations, with commonly used models including TS3100, TS3200, TS3310 and TS3500.
