Key features

The TS3100 and TS3200 deliver the following features:

Entry-level tape libraries that are designed for high capacity, high performance, and high reliability.
Adherence to LTO specifications.
Support for half-high or full-high LTO Ultrium 7, Ultrium 6, or Ultrium 5 tape drives with SAS or Fibre

Channel interfaces.
Support for one full-high or up to two half-high tape drives in the TS3100; support for up to two full-

high, or up to four half-high, or a combination of one full-high and up to two half-high tape drives in

the TS3200.
Native data transfer rate of up to 300 MB/s (Ultrium 7), up to 160 MB/s (Ultrium 6), or up to

140 MB/s (Ultrium 5).
Native cartridge capacity of up to 6 TB (Ultrium 7), up to 2.5 TB (Ultrium 6), or up to 1.5 TB

(Ultrium 5).
Two (TS3100) or four (TS3200) removable magazine that can house up to 12 data cartridges to

enable quick population of the tape library and ease the storage needs for media.
A 1-slot I/O station (TS3100) or a 3-slot I/O station (TS3200) to help support continuous library

operations, while importing and exporting media with little or no disruption to library operation.
A standard bar code reader with which you can operate the TS3100 or TS3200 in sequential or

random access mode.
Mixed media support, including IBM LTO Ultrium 7, 6, and 5 WORM (Write Once Ready Many)

media.
Remote management capabilities to allow for remote administration of the TS3100 and TS3200

through a web interface.
Multi-path feature to allow sharing of the library robotics across heterogenous applications

independently of each other. The library can be partitioned into up to four logical libraries (each

partition must have at least one drive). It also can provide each logical library its own separate and

distinct drives, storage slots, and control paths.
Optional System Managed and Library Managed Encryption on LTO Ultrium 7, Ultrium 6,

and Ultrium 5 tape drives with a Transparent LTO Encryption feature.
Optional Path Failover that enables the host device driver to transparently switch to an alternative

path if there is a communication path failure to the application.
An optional rack mount kit, an extra power supply for the TS3200 and more cartridge magazines.
3 Gb or 6 Gbps SAS, or 4 Gb or 8 Gb Fibre Channel attachments for connection to select System x,

ThinkServer, BladeCenter, and Flex System servers that run Microsoft Windows and Linux server

operating systems.
Support from an extensive ecosystem of backup software vendors.
