The IBM 3581 Ultrium (part number 35L1676) is a tape autoloader designed to automate the process of backing up and restoring data. It utilises LTO Ultrium technology, which provides fast data transfer rates and reliable storage for mid-sized to large businesses. The device is equipped with a single LTO Ultrium drive and has an auto-loading capability that supports multiple tapes, reducing the need for manual intervention when swapping tapes for different backup jobs.
For connectivity, the IBM 3581 Ultrium uses a SCSI interface, allowing for steady data transmission between the autoloader and the system. Its robust build and high storage capacity make it ideal for companies with high-volume data management needs. The IBM 3581 Ultrium is compatible with various operating systems, delivering flexibility in deployment and management.
This part is now considered end of life (EOL), meaning IBM has discontinued its production and no longer supports it with new updates. However, it remains in active use in several environments where legacy hardware is still standard. Replacement parts and professional support are required for maintaining this device in working condition.
