IBM System Storage TS3100 and TS3200 Tape
Libraries
IBM Storage at-a-glance guide
The IBM® System Storage
TS3100 and TS3200 Tape Libraries are well-suited for handling the backup,
®
restore, and archive data-storage needs for small-to-medium environments.
The TS3100 and TS3200 Tape Libraries are shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. TS3100 (3573 L2U) Tape Library and TS3200 (3573 L4U) Tape Library
The TS3100 library with its use of one Ultrium LTO-5 Full-High tape drive or up to two Ultrium LTO-5
Half-High tape drives and 24 tape cartridge capacity can store up to 72 TB compressed (36 TB native).
The TS3200 48 tape cartridge capacity and use of up to two Ultrium LTO-5 Full-High tape drives or up to
four Ultrium LTO-5 Half-High tape drives scales to 144 TB compressed (72 TB native). The IBM Ultrium
LTO-5 tape drive supports up to 140 MBps native data-transfer.
Both libraries come standard with a bar-code reader, supporting the libraries operation in sequential or
random access mode. The design of the remote library management through a standard web interface
offers flexibility and greater administrative control of storage operations. Path Failover, a new optional
feature for the libraries, is designed to provide automatic control path failover to a preconfigured
redundant control path in the event that a host adapter or control path drive is lost, without aborting the
current job in process.
Did you know?
The TS3100 and TS3200 Tape Libraries are designed for storage management, capacity, performance,
data protection, reliability, affordability, and application requirements. They are functionally rich,
high-capacity, entry-level tape-storage solutions that incorporate the latest generation of LTO IBM Ultrium
5 tape technology.
Both IBM TS3100 and TS3200 Models are excellent solutions for large-capacity or high-performance tape
backup with or without random access. They are also excellent choices for tape automation for IBM

Summary of Contents for IBM System Storage TS3100
- Page 1 Figure 1. TS3100 (3573 L2U) Tape Library and TS3200 (3573 L4U) Tape Library The TS3100 library with its use of one Ultrium LTO-5 Full-High tape drive or up to two Ultrium LTO-5 Half-High tape drives and 24 tape cartridge capacity can store up to 72 TB compressed (36 TB native).
- Page 2 The IBM TS3100 and TS3200 are designed to take advantage of Linear Tape-Open (LTO) technology to cost effectively handle growing storage requirements: The TS3100 uses one LTO Full-High tape drive or up to two LTO Half-High tape drives and 24-tape cartridge capacity. The library is configured with two removable cartridge magazines, one on the left side (12 data cartridge slots) and one on the right (12 data cartridge slots).
- Page 3 With LTFS, accessing data stored on an IBM tape cartridge became as easy and intuitive as using a USB flash drive. With LTFS file manager, reading data on a tape cartridge is as easy as dragging and dropping.

The IBM Ultrium WORM cartridges (Machine Type 3589) were designed for applications, such as archiving and data retention, and for applications that require an audit trail. IBM Ultrium 3, 4, and 5 Tape Drive WORM support allows vital data to be stored in a non-erasable, non-rewritable format provided for... - Page 5 The IBM Ultrium WORM cartridges work with the IBM System Storage LTO Ultrium Tape Drives to help prevent the alteration or deletion of user data. In addition, IBM has taken several steps to reduce the possibility of tampering with the information: The bottom of the cartridge is molded in a different color than rewritable cartridges.
