IBM Introduces High Capacity LTO-4 T1600P Tape Drive

Regulatory requirements and data retention laws have become more rigorous over the past decade. Therefore the need for security and preservation of valuable information for compliance and audit has become more critical. LTO (linear tape open) format offers the best economical tape storage solution, which assists the companies to perform all of their high volume data archiving and data storage tasks at lowest cost.

IBM LTO products feature superior quality and outstanding media durability. IBM is proud to introduce T1600P LTO-4 tape drive, which provides unprecedented data reliability and massive media capacity of 1600GB (compressed). IBM has made significant technological enhancements to further improve the data tracking performance and read/write accuracy of T1600P LTO-4 drive. High speed T1600P drives ensure greater operational efficiency, low maintenance cost and reduced heat dissipation as compared to other conventional tape drives. The customers can backup up to 800GB native information on to the IBM LTO 4 tape cartridge.

Superior quality IBM LTO4 drives and backup tapes are ranked higher by the leading organizations. IBM T1600P drive is specifically engineered to deliver high class performance in data-rich environments, departmental backups, and network servers. LTO 4 tape format is most reliable for high demanding storage environments.

Installation of IBM LTO-4 T1600P drive will secure your previous investments because it provides you accessibility to the LTO-2 and LTO-3 data cartridges as well. Data can only be retrieved from LTO2 data tapes by the T1600P tape drive. On the other hand you can perform both the read/write operations with LTO-3 ultrium tape. LTO ultrium tapes developed by IBM are:

IBM LTO5 tape, part number 46X1290

IBM LTO4 WORM tape, part number 95P4450

IBM LTO4 tape, part number 95P4436

IBM universal LTO cleaning cartridge, part number 35L2086

IBM LTO3 tape, part number 24R1922

IBM LTO3 WORM tape, part number 96P1203

IBM LTO2 tape, part number 08L9870

IBM LTO1 tape, part number 08L9120

T1600P LTO-4 drive supports "WORM" mechanism, which helps the organizations to satisfy the requirements of evolving regulatory initiatives. IBM LTO4 WORM tape allows the IT managers to preserve their vital documents in a non- rewritable form. The users can not alter the data that has been written onto the LTO-4 WORM cartridge. "Write once read many" functionality further strengthens the data protection. IBM T1600P drive automatically detects whether the inserted backup tape is a WORM or rewritable media cartridge.

IBM carefully focuses on the user's needs. Therefore IBM has introduced AES encryption system in the T1600P drive, which helps the users to handle the security compliance issues. T1600P LTO-4 drive is more efficient and provides greater reliability than other tape drives. The drive has a new DSM "digital speed matching" mechanism that allows efficient read/write operations in all demanding environments.

IBM T1600P drive has a larger 256-MB data buffer. Combination of "digital speed matching" and larger data buffer enables the tape drive to ensure consistent performance during fluctuating data transfer rate and heavy workloads. That is why the T1600P LTO-4 drive delivers excellent performance even with the slow speed host systems. IBM LTO-4 tape drive features flexible host attachment which includes native fiber channel, SAS and SCSI attachment. All these powerful features of IBM LTO4 drives will certainly help you to significantly improve the performance of your backup storage system.
