IBM Magstar MP Multi-Purpose 3570   Tape Subsystem IBM’s Magstar™ MP 3570 Tape Subsystem created for the mid-sized storage arena is ideal for traditional backup and for applications where fast access to mass data is important. Magstar MP provides high performance for backup and other tape applications.  Data retrieval requests that require minutes on other tape devices take only seconds on Magstar MP. Connectivity: Magstar MP 3570 Tape Subsystems provide a storage solution designed to function optimally with IBM’s iSeries and AS/400, pSeries and RS/6000, xSeries and Netfinity servers, as well as non-IBM hardware and software systems including  HP-UX™, NT™, Sun™ , and Windows 2000™. Automation ready: Magstar MP 3570 is designed for automation from the heavy duty cartridge designed for repeated robotic handling to the broad family of library offerings that store from 140GB to 420GB (3:1 compression).    Highlights • A modular solution that allows for expansion     • Stand-alone or rack-mounted models     • High performance for backup operations     • I/O-intense operations     • Multiple users  IBM Magstar MP 3570 Tape Subsystem specifications Model C00 C01 C02 C11 C12 Drives 1 1 2 1 2 Cartridges - 20 20 20 20 Configuration* Drive only Stand-alone Stand-alone Rack-mounted Rack-Mounted Highlights • Sets a new standard for midrange tape performance for both backup and recovery of data     • Features exclusive new Fast Access Linear Tape that provides faster data access than other tape technologies for current and emerging applications such as network storage management, data warehousing, and digital libraries     • Supports new 7 GB (native) C-format XL data cartridges     • Allows access to 420 GB of storage capacity with near-online performance (with 3:1 LZ1 data compression)     • Delivers sustained data transfer performance of 7MB/sec (native) and up to 15MB/sec per drive or 100GB/hour per two-drive library (with maximum compression)     • Offers unattended save operation     • Supports industry-leading storage management offerings     • Is backed by an industry-leading three-year warranty     • Offers a library bar code reader      Overview The IBM Magstar MP 3570 Tape Subsystem provides a midrange tape storage solution that delivers high performance and unsurpassed reliability. This compact, integrated tape storage device expands the capability of tape processing by optimizing both read- and write-intensive operations. The Magstar MP 3570 attaches to AS/400, RS/6000, HP, Windows NT, Sun, and other SCSI-attached systems.   The Magstar MP 3570 Tape Subsystem has been enhanced to support the 7 GB Magstar MP Fast Access Linear Tape C-format XL data cartridge and is backward read- and write-compatible with the 5 GB Magstar MP Fast Access Linear Tape B-format and C-format data cartridges. Existing Magstar MP 3570 5 GB Model C drives can be upgraded with this new feature.   Improved data integrity The Magstar MP 3570 brings a new level of reliability and data integrity to the midrange environment and is specifically designed for:   Repeated tape load/unloads Higher tape drive duty cycles Increased overall mechanical reliability Increased overall data reliability   Faster data performance The Magstar MP 3570 is designed to operate at fast sustained data rates of up to 15MB per second (with maximum compression), satisfying the high-performance demands of today's midrange computing environments. Its data transfer performance is also balanced to provide the fast data recall that satisfies the demand for responsive file retrievals for near-online applications and high data transfer performance for backup and recovery. A Magstar MP 3570 library can have an unattended storage capacity of 140 to 420GB of data (with 3:1 data compression). The 3575 library expands capacity to 6.8TB (with 3:1 compression).   Unattended tape operations and higher storage capacity Magstar MP technology is designed for integration with tape storage devices that provide unattended tape handling. Magstar MP tape subsystems can be installed for tape save/restore today and can later evolve into advanced storage management solutions that provide better combined use of disk and tape. In unattended mode, the leading-edge characteristics of Magstar MP data retrieval are readily apparent. Data retrieval requests that require minutes on other tape devices take only seconds on Magstar MP, so you can use tape for near-online storage. This is possible in part because of the patented new Magstar MP Fast Access Linear Tape Cartridge. The cartridge contains a self-enclosed tape path that eliminates time-consuming and cumbersome tape threading, loading, and unloading. In addition, the tape features an innovative new midpoint load design that dramatically reduces random search times.   Bar code reader A bar code reader is standard on all Model C libraries. You can install this feature on existing libraries to help you identify and inventory cartridges faster and more efficiently.   Magstar MP 3575 Tape Library Dataserver The IBM Magstar MP 3575 Tape Library Dataserver is a family of automated storage solutions using Magstar MP 3570 tape drives in larger unattended libraries. Five models are available, ranging from 420 GB to 6.8 TB of storage capacity (with 3:1 LZ1 compression).
