administrators in completing critical tasks. For example, you can monitor a tape

library via persistent, at-a-glance library utilization and health status indicators.

IBM TS4500 features such as automatic control-path and data-path failover,

tape-drive encryption, dual robotic accessors and WORM media support improved

management and help to reduce risk in the cloud.

In addition, IBM TS4500 now supports IBM z14

™

, the latest generation of IBM Z

servers. Mainframe administrators can trust TS4500 to help reduce floorspace costs

and increase overall capacity.
