IBM System Storage TS3310 Tape Library

The IBM System Storage™ TS3310 offers simple, rapid expansion as processing needs grow. This tape library allows you to start small with only a single 5 EIA rack unit high library. Over time, as your need for tape backup expands, you can add additional 9U expansion modules, each of which contains space for additional cartridges, tape drives and a redundant power supply. The entire system grows vertically. Currently, available configurations include the 5U base library module and a 5U base with one 9U expansion module. Future configurations will allow the interconnection of several 9U modules, allowing a TS3310 tape library to hold over 400 LTO tape cartridges.

No. of drives:	Up to 6 LTO Generation 3 tape drives (max 2 drives for the base Model L5B library)
Max. system capacity (2:1 Compression):	Over 97 terabytes in a 14U configuration or 24 terabytes in a Model L5B base library
Max. number of cartridges:	Base Model L5B: 30 storage and 6 I/O. Expansion module, Model E9U: 92 storage or 80 storage and 12 I/O
Supported platforms:	OS/400® V5R2, V5R3, or later; AIX 5L™ V5.1, V5.2, V5.3, or later; Sun Solaris 8 and 9; Microsoft® Windows® 2000 (build 2195, or greater); Microsoft Windows 2003 (build 3790, or greater); HP-UX 11.0, HP-UX 11.11 and HP-UX 11.232; Linux® distributions: Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 4; SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9
