MPN #: TS4500

Running out of space for backup and archive data can slow your business and raise costs. The IBM TS4500 Tape Library High Density Scalable Storage with Advanced Management gives you a reliable place to keep petabytes of information without taking up a full data center floor. It is built for companies that need to protect years of records, video, or scientific data while staying within budget. With this library you avoid costly storage shortages and keep recovery times short.

 

IBM TS4500 Tape Library High Density Scalable Storage with Advanced Management

Many enterprises struggle with data growth that outpaces their current storage. When capacity limits are reached, backup jobs fail, compliance risks rise, and downtime increases. This problem matters because lost or delayed data can damage reputation and revenue. The TS4500 solves the issue by offering a modular system that starts small and expands to hundreds of petabytes. Its dual robotic accessors and advanced management software keep the library running smoothly, delivering fast access and high availability for critical workloads.

 

 

Key Features
    • Modular architecture with up to 17 expansion frames.
    • Supports both IBM 3592 and LTO tape drives.
    • Up to 128 drives can be installed for high throughput.
    • Dual robotic accessors improve performance and reliability.
    • Advanced Library Management System provides a single pane of glass GUI.
    • File level access through IBM Storage Archive simplifies retrieval.
    • Policy based media verification ensures data integrity.
    • REST over SCSI API enables integration with automation tools.
    • Persistent health monitoring alerts you to issues before they impact service.
    • Automatic control path and data path failover reduces downtime.
