Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard and Intel-based
systems running Windows NT/2000.
*High-speed connectivity is available through
support of native ESCON and FICON™ attachments
with the Magstar 3590 Model A60 Controller.The
Model A60 can attach to native FIbre CONnections
(FICON) channels on IBM Enterprise Class systems
such as the IBM 9672 Enterprise G5, G6, or the
IBM zSeries 900 Server to help provide more
performance per channel and enhanced distance
capabilities.
*Provides enhanced Storage Area Network (SAN)

Failover support is available for SAN
connections to iSeries and RS/6000 servers
*Offers configuration flexibility with models
ranging from low cost stand-alone rack
mini-libraries (Model B11 and Model E11),
automated library solutions (Model B1A and E1A
for inclusion in the IBM 3494 Tape Library), and
models designed for use in StorageTek Silos
(Model C12 to hold 3590 E1A or B1A’s and Model
C10 to hold up to two 3590 A60 Controllers)
*Reduces backup times and relieves batch window
constraints with an uncompressed data rate
performance from 9MB/sec (Model B's) up to
14MB/sec (Model E's)
*Offers tape capacity ranges up to 120GB per
cartridge (compressed, Extended Length
Cartridge, 3590 Model E)

drives. The Model E provides several
enhancements as compared to the Model B
including up to a 50% increase in performance,
up to twice the capacity on existing cartridges,
and Fibre channel attachment at no additional
cost to the upgrade price.
*Standalone Models B11 and E11 use a removable
magazine containing up to 10 cartridges,
providing a capacitiy of up to 200GB
uncompressed/600GB compressed (B11) and 400GB
