IBM 3490E-C1A
The 3490E-C1A is fully compatible with
existing 3490E models, using both the Cartridge
System Tape and the longer 3490E Enhanced
Capacity Cartridge System Tape, and is
read-compatible with earlier cartridge formats
for ease of migration. The Enhanced Capability
format (36-track bidirectional recording),
together with standard Improved Data Recording
Capability (IDRC) and the higher capacity tape,
dramatically increase overall cartridge
capacity. The C1A is specifically designed for
use in the 3494 Tape Library Dataserver and
cannot be used outside of the tape library.
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.
