Introduction

This topic describes the IBM System Storage TS3500 Tape Library, a highly scalable, stand-
alone device that provides reliable, automated tape handling and storage for both 
mainframe and Open Systems environments.

Figure 1

 shows a 6-frame version of the TS3500 Tape Library. The library consists of one 

base frame and up to 15 expansion frames and can include up to 192 tape drives and more 

than 20 000 tape cartridges. In addition to scalability, the TS3500 Tape Library also offers 
the following enhancements: 

•

Enhanced data accessibility through dual accessors that increase speed and provide 

failover protection

•

Enhanced data security through support for tape drive encryption and Write Once 

Read Many (WORM) cartridges

•

Increased storage capacity with high-density frames that greatly increase capacity 

without requiring more floor space

These features are explained in greater detail throughout this information center.

Figure 1. The TS3500 Tape Library

 

The TS3500 Tape Library comes with several tape drive, frame model, and feature options 

in order to meet your specific needs. Some additional features of the TS3500 Tape Library 
are listed below: 

•

Ability to attach multiple simultaneous heterogeneous servers

•

Remote management using a Web browser  or the TS3500 Command Line Interface
