Overview:
IBM TS1160 Tape Drive offers significantly improved capacity and throughput when compared with the previous IBM TS1150 Tape Drive—thanks to the introduction of IBM 3592 Tape Cartridge JE supporting complete integration with Software Defined Storage, helping to further improve data management and reduce storage costs. Deploying a heterogeneous server environment can simplify your overall storage setup and enable simultaneous support of a wide range of platforms. The IBM TS1160 Tape Drive offers multiplatform support for most open-systems servers, including IBM Power® Systems, and back-end attachments for Virtual Tape environments.
Highlights
- Improve data security with support for encryption and key management
- Extend storage investments for existing IBM tape automation solutions
- Meet compliance requirements with write once, read many (WORM) support
- Optimize drive usage with support for Fiber Channel and SAS interfaces
