IBM TS4300 Tape Library

Requirements for secure, long-term data retention—especially in the financial

services, healthcare and life sciences industries—are common and increasingly

stringent, with data volumes growing massively as a result. And data stored on tape

kept offline, or on write-once media, is nearly impervious to hacking. IBM® TS4300

Tape Library is a high-density, highly scalable, easy-to-manage tape library designed

to keep data securely stored long-term, while helping reduce the costs associated

with data center space and utilities.

The IBM TS4300 Tape Library modular design enables users to increase cartridge

and drive capacity as needed. Built around a 3U-high modular base library,

TS4300 can scale vertically with up to seven modules—including the base

library—with expansion for Linear Tape-Open (LTO) Ultrium cartridges, drives and

redundant power supplies. A single robot manages all modules in the stack. In a

seven-module configuration, TS4300 offers a capacity of up to 280 LTO cartridges.

A wizard for installation and configuration enables users to install, expand and

service the library without special training.
