Highlights - Provide long-term backup and archive storage data protection while lowering overall storage costs - Easily access data stored on Linear Tape-Open (LTO) Ultrium 7, 6 and 5 cartridges through the use of IBM Spectrum Archive technology - Improve energy efficiency over previous generations - Support media partitioning on LTO Ultrium 7 media Excellent Solution The IBM TS2270 Tape Drive is the answer to growing storage requirements and shrinking backup windows. Incorporating the latest generation of industry-leading LTO technology, the TS2270 Tape Drive is suited for handling backup, save and restore, and archival data storage needs with higher capacity and higher data transfer rates than the previous generation. In addition, the LTO Ultrium 7 technology is designed to support media partitioning and IBM Spectrum Archive technology. It also continues to support encryption of data and write-once-read-many (WORM) media. The TS2270 Tape Drive is an excellent tape storage solution for organizations requiring backup and low-cost, archival storage of data. The TS2270 provides a physical storage capacity of up to 15TB (with 2.5:1 compression). The data transfer performance has increased over the previous LTO Ultrium half-height generation with a transfer rate of up to 300MBps with 6Gbps SAS interface connectivity. The drive offers two SAS and one Ethernet port per drive to improve availability.
