The IBM System Storage TS3200 Tape Library Express Model, featuring half-high technology and its storage management applications are designed to address capacity, performance, data protection, reliability, availability, affordability and application requirements. The IBM TS3200 Express model is an excellent solution for large-capacity or high-performance tape backup with or without random access. The TS3200 featuring half-high Ultrium technology is also an excellent choice for tape automation for IBM System p, IBM System i, IBM System x and other open systems.

It is well-suited for handling backup, save and restore and archival data-storage needs for small to medium-size environments. With the use of up to four LTO Half-High Tape Drives and 48 tape cartridge capacity, the IBM TS3200 HH model is designed to use LTO technology to cost-effectively handle growing storage requirements. The TS3200 Tape Library is configured with four removable cartridge magazines, two on the left side (24 data cartridge slots) and two on the right (24 data cartridge slots). Additionally, the lower left magazine includes a three-slot I/O station to help support continuous library operation while importing and exporting media. A bar-code reader is standard in the library, supporting the library’s operation in sequential or random access mode. The TS3200 also comes standard with remote management capabilities to allow for remote administration of the tape library through a Web interface.

The IBM Ultrium 4 technology is designed to support encryption of data. The hardware encryption and decryption core and control core resides in the IBM Ultrium 4 tape drive (available to the TS3200 with the 3 Gbps SAS interface). A larger internal data buffer helps improve data access rates and reduce cartridge fill and rewind times along with dynamic channel calibration to help increase data throughput. In addition to reading and writing to LTO Ultrium 4 tape cartridges, the HH LTO 4 tape drive can read and write to LTO Ultrium 3 cartridges and read LTO Ultrium 2 cartridges. The IBM Ultrium 4 HH tape drive is designed to support up to 120 MBps native data-transfer rates and up to 800 GB native physical capacity when using the IBM System Storage Ultrium 800 GB Data Cartridge (1.6 TB with 2:1 compression). The TS3200 featuring Ultrium 4 HH tape drives has a capacity of up to 38.4 TB native (76.8 with 2:1 compression).
