The IBM 3584 Model L52 is a high-capacity tape library designed for businesses that require efficient and secure data storage. This library comes in a rack-mountable form factor, making it suitable for enterprise use in data centres. The model L52 does not include any tape drives, which allows users to configure and incorporate their own drives based on specific storage requirements. Compatible with a wide range of IBM tape drives, this modular design offers flexibility for expanding as capacity needs grow.
The IBM 3584 Model L52 supports up to 12 logical libraries when used with an appropriate controller, and can handle high workloads thanks to its scalability and flexibility. Depending on the configuration, it allows for the attachment of additional models to increase storage slots and system throughput. The library supports both Fibre Channel and SCSI host connections, allowing integration into different network environments based on user needs.
To ensure reliability and security for stored data, the 3584 Model L52 can be integrated with IBM's encryption technology, which provides advanced data protection. In terms of physical design, the rack-mounted form factor ensures that it saves valuable space in data centres. Additionally, it features redundant components, such as power supplies and fans, which are crucial for continuous operation and reducing the risk of data loss or downtime.
The IBM 3584 Model L52 is engineered to seamlessly integrate with storage management software, allowing administrators to easily configure and monitor the status of the library. This capability is especially beneficial for large-scale operations where efficient storage management is a priority.
