IBM 35P2616 2.5TB (Native)/6.25TB (Compressed) LTO-6 Ultrium Fibre Channel Half-Height Tape Drive

Description

The IBM 35P2616 is a high-performance tape drive that leverages the LTO-6 Ultrium standard to deliver substantial storage capacity and rapid data transfer speeds. With a native capacity of 2.5 terabytes and a compressed capacity of up to 6.25 terabytes per cartridge, this drive is well-suited for demanding backup, restore, and archiving operations in enterprise environments. Its robust design ensures reliability for critical data protection tasks. Featuring an 8Gb/s Fibre Channel interface, the 35P2616 provides the high bandwidth required for efficient data movement, minimizing backup windows and accelerating data retrieval. This interface is standard in many enterprise storage networks, ensuring compatibility and high performance. The drive's half-height form factor allows it to be easily integrated into a wide range of tape libraries and servers, offering flexibility in deployment. In addition to its core performance metrics, the IBM 35P2616 supports advanced features such as WORM (Write Once, Read Many) functionality for data immutability and regulatory compliance, as well as hardware encryption for enhanced data security. It also maintains backward read compatibility with LTO-5 and LTO-4 media, providing a degree of investment protection for existing tape libraries.
