IBM TS4500 tape library
Big data offers vast opportunities for business insight, but you need the right
technology to help you manage and use that data. IBM cloud solutions can help
you harness the power of big data while reducing costs and enabling a secure
environment.
The next-generation TS4500 tape library is designed to help midsized and large
enterprises meet cloud storage challenges, including data volume growth, rising
storage footprint costs, data migration efforts and the increased complexity of IT
training and management as staff resources shrink.
TS4500 answers those business needs by incorporating the latest generation of
industry-leading LTO technology that will help organizations handle the growing
data demands of modern tape use cases like big data, cloud, media and
entertainment, ultra high-definition editing, digital video surveillance, Internet of
Things (IoT), active file archiving and, of course, backup.
TS4500 delivers the density that today’s data growth requires—along with the
efficiency and manageability to grow with business needs while preserving your
existing investments in IBM tape library products. You can achieve both a low
per-terabyte cost and high density, with up to 8.76 PB of data in a single
10-square-foot library using LTO Ultrium 8 cartridges or 8.25 PB with 3592
cartridges.
TS4500 provides advanced capabilities for integrated tape drive and media
management, delivered within a single-pane-of-glass management console. The
TS4500 graphical user interface (GUI) is based on the unified interface used in
other IBM storage solutions. It includes key features to help guide storage
