IBM 3490-C11
The 3490-C11 is a 36-track, 1 Control Unit,
1-drive, Autoloader, tape subsystem. The Model
C11 is a low-cost, rack-mountable member of the
IBM 3490 Magnetic Tape Subsystem Enhanced
Capability family, providing significant
performance and cartridge capacity improvements
for midrange systems. The 3490E Model C11 is
fully compatible with existing 3490E models,
using both the Cartridge System Tape and the
longer 3490E Enhanced Capacity Cartridge System
Tape, and are read-compatible with earlier
cartridge formats for ease of migration. The
Enhanced Capability format (36-track
bi-directional recording), together with
standard Improved Data Recording Capability (IDRC)
and the higher capacity tape, dramatically
increase overall cartridge capacity. This
increased capacity and standard Automatic
Cartridge Loader (ACL) on the C11 model combine
to address the data capacity requirement for
unattended backup on mid-range systems.
Utilization of ES Connection (ESCON*) Channels
provides new possibilities in performance,
connectivity, and remote tape operations. This
model is supported on AS/400, RS/6000, and
ES/9000 systems. |
IBM 3490 Tape
System Family
The IBM 3490 is a family of Magnetic Tape Subsystems
designed to provide significant tape subsystem
performance and cartridge capacity improvements.
The 3490 Magnetic Tape Subsystem family offers
solutions to business requirements in the areas of
adaptability, maintenance, reliability and
availability, usability, and exploitation. All 3490
Magnetic Tape Subsystems can attach to multiple
processors and are supported by MVS, VM, AIX/ESA*,
AIX/6000*, and OS/400*.
The IBM 3490 family's innovative packaging
provides environmental characteristics that are far
superior to those of previous tape technologies.
