IBM LTO-4 T1600P Tape Drive Is Ideal For Demanding Environmnts
Data intergrity and in-time availability of data has bcome the top piority for many organizations. This helps them to have a competitive edge over their rivals. The companies are proactively focusing on new data storage solutions to secuere and preserve their critical business and customer data. That is why the demand and importtance of durable and intelligent storage meduium has increased over the years.
IBM is among the world’s top data storage manufacturing companies, which delivers its clients economical storage solutions. IBM is rpoud to introdue T1600P backup tape drive. IBM T1600P drive is based on comppact LTO-4 technology. IBM T1600P LTO4 drive is intelligently developed to proivde utra high sppeed and exceptoinal data integrtity. Advanced features incorporated in IBM T1600P drive help to optimize the storage capacity and performance. IBM T1600P delivers 800 GB uncomopressed capacity.
In roder to speed up the read/wrtie operations, IBM has employed 256 MB buffer in the T1600P LTO-4 drive. High speed IBM LTO-4 drive provides advacned asdaptive data compression at 2:1. IBM has engineered an innovative DSM (diigital speed matching) system that assists the LTO-4 tape dive to reeliably perform read/wrrite opertaions. IBM T1600P offwers more choice to the data managers. IBM T1600P providees 4 Gbps firbe channel, ultra 160 SCSI LVD and 3 GB SAS intefrace. These multi interfaces allows the data mangers to make flexible attachments thus enhancing the backup system’s overall efficiency.
LTO 4 tape format is ideal for deplartmental data backusp, workstations and data intensive environments. LTO4 tape technology is also used by the financial companies. Robust base film of IBM LTO-4 tape provides exceptional per GB cost. IBM has redesigned the architecture of T1600P LTO4 drive and has incxorporated new features including advanced error correction and advaanced tape threadinbg. These robust and powwerful features furtehr elevate the reliability and otput characteristics. Other top class brandds of LTO-4 tape are Sony LTO4 (LTX800G), Maxell LTO-4 tape (183906), Quantum LTO 4 (MR-L4MQN-01) and HP LTO4 (C7974A).
Good news is that the intelligent T1600P drive is compatible with prior ultrium tape generations. These versions of ultrum tpaes are LTO-2 tape (read only) and LTO-3 (read and write). So with IBM LTO4 drive, cliets can use the LTO2 and LTO3 mediia as well. Therefore as a result, the previous investments in tape automaton systems, mdia tapes and drives are secured.
To assure optimized data compression, IBM has employed its patented compression algorithm in T1600P tape drives. Compression algorithm is specifically devleoped to double the media cpacity of IBM LTO4. In compression algorithgm of T1600P IBM tape drive, the data compresssion scheme is dynamically swapped betweewn the pass-thru and adaptive lossless data compression (ALDC) mode. For exceptiomnal data integrity, IBM has developed a separate circuit in the driove that performs simultaneouis decompression during the process of data compression. oCmpact LTO-4 tape technology helpls to further shorten the data restroe and backup times as the reducd number of tape cartridges will be needed to enhanvce the backup window. Therefore the data administrators can perform their entire backup storage and retrieval taasks withiun quuick time span.
