The IBM 3583 Ultrium Scalable Tape Library, part number 3583-L36, is a versatile and modular storage solution offering scalable data protection for enterprise environments. Designed to handle growing storage demands, this tape library does not include tape drives, allowing users the flexibility to customise and expand the system based on their specific backup and archiving needs. Its modular design supports a variety of configurations, giving businesses the ability to tailor the unit based on workload or space restrictions.
This model uses SCSI interface, providing reliable, high-speed connectivity for data transfers and backups. The tape library itself is capable of supporting LTO Ultrium technology, which enables high-capacity storage for large sets of data. The absence of pre-installed tape drives presents the user with tailored choices concerning capacity and format, allowing for a configuration that matches operational needs. It also enables customers to add or upgrade drives depending on future requirements, making it a cost-effective option for scaling up.
Offering up to 36 cartridge slots, the IBM 3583 provides substantial data storage capabilities in a compact chassis suited for mid to large enterprises. Additionally, the tape library is designed with an emphasis on maximising storage density while maintaining ease of use. Each cartridge slot can hold LTO Ultrium tapes, supporting automated and efficient data archiving.
The 3583-L36’s chassis is robust and built for environments requiring reliable long-term storage with minimal intervention. As a scalable model, it is a future-proof solution for businesses needing room to grow their data storage capacity while maintaining data security and accessibility over time.
