49P3242

The IBM 3607 Model 16X (part number: 49P3242) is a Super Digital Linear Tape (Super DLT) library designed to provide reliable and high-capacity tape storage. This specific model supports Super DLT technology, which enhances data storage capacity and provides faster transfer rates compared to earlier tape formats. The tape library is designed for enterprise environments where dependable long-term data storage and efficient backup solutions are critical.

The IBM 3607 features a SCSI interface, which enables high-speed data communication between the tape library and the connected systems. SCSI connections are widely recognised for their ability to handle multiple devices on a single interface, allowing businesses to easily integrate this tape library into existing infrastructures. The Super DLT format is known for its ability to store large amounts of data on a single tape, making it suitable for applications that require significant backup capacities such as archival purposes or disaster recovery.

The 3607 Model 16X offers efficient tape handling capabilities and supports automated tape loading, making it ideal for environments requiring frequent access to large sets of data. The library contains multiple slots for tapes, providing extensive storage scalability. Its robust design ensures high data reliability, minimising the risk of data loss over extended periods. With the ability to store and retrieve data quickly and accurately, the IBM 3607 Model 16X is well-suited for mission-critical data storage applications.

In addition, the model is built with features that improve library uptime and reduce maintenance, such as its durable construction and self-cleaning capabilities, ensuring a long operational life with minimal intervention. The IBM 3607 is a solid solution for organisations needing cost-effective, large-scale data archival systems.
