Features:
Provide long-term data retention with efficient management capabilities
Management solutions like IBM Storage Protect or third-party storage management software can extend the power of TS2280. IBM Storage Archive helps simplify access to and management of TS2280 by enabling text-based file tagging and more intuitive searches of drive content.
Enable intuitive and graphical access to data with IBM Storage Archive
IBM Storage Archive supports tape-oriented linear tape file system (LTFS). This serves to reduce complexity by enabling access to the tape drive’s contents through a graphical user interface in the file manager of the user’s device’s operating system.
Store up to 30 TB of data with next-generation LTO Ultrium 8 technology
IBM TS2280 Tape Drive supports the LTO Consortium compression specification for LTO Ultrium 8, offering up to 30 TB of data storage per cartridge (12 TB native)—twice the compressed capacity of previous LTO Ultrium 7 cartridges.
