The IBM 3580 Model L13 contains an LTO Ultrium tape drive that uses the Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI), and supports OS/400, AIX, Sun Solaris, HP-UX, Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows NT, Linux, and open systems. It also attaches to iSeries, pSeries, xSeries, AS/400, RS/6000, Netfinity, UNIX, and PC servers. It provides media capacity of up to 100 GB (200 GB with 2:1 compression) data storage per cartridge and a sustained data rate of up to 15 MB per second (uncompressed). With support for IBM LTO Ultrium-format tape data cartridges, the 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive provides an excellent migration path from digital linear tape (DLT), 1/4-inch, 4mm, or 8mm tape drives, autoloaders, or libraries. They are cost-effective solution for backup, save-and-restore, and archiving functions as a part of the family of IBM Ultrium tape products.
The Models H13 and L13 of the 3580 offer Ultrium tape products for customers who desire to manage their own service activities, have redundant tape devices or non-critical applications, and would benefit from a three-year element exchange warranty versus a one-year IBM CE-assisted warranty. The extended warranty models will be supported via the Customer Element Exchange process versus the IBM onsite service provided with the current models. The extended warranty is a parts-only warranty, compared to the current parts and labor warranty as implemented with IBM on-site service. Refer to the Warranty information for the details of the Customer Element Exchange process and customer responsibilities.
3580 Models H13 and L13 Ultrium Tape Drive
The IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive is a 100 GB external Ultrium tape drive with a sustained data transfer rate of up to 15 MB per second (uncompressed). It features data compression hardware which provides an effective capacity of up to 200 GB and an effective transfer rate of up to 30 MB per second, depending on the characteristics of the data transferred. The 3580 provides a cost-effective solution for save/restore and archiving functions.
Although the 3580 Tape Drive provides the capability for high tape performance, other components of the system may limit the actual performance achieved. Also, although the compression technology used in the tape drive can typically double the amount of data that can be stored on the media, the actual degree of compression achieved is highly sensitive to the characteristics of the data being compressed.
