With its higher performance and greater capacity as compared to TS1130 Tape Drive
Model E06, the use of the TS1140 Tape Drive can help save costs as the number of
tape drives, cartridges, and associated floor space are all reduced. Enhancements of
the TS1140 Tape Drive include:
•
Native data rate performance of up to 250 MB/sec (up to 650 MB/sec
compressed) versus the 160 MB/sec native data rate of TS1130 Tape Drive Model
E06
•
Uncompressed cartridge formatting of up to 4.0 TB (12.0 TB with 3:1
compression) with the use of IBM® Tape Cartridge 3592 Advanced Data (Type C)
•
Dual Fibre Channel interface at 8 Gbps designed to enhance attachment flexibility
•
Effective media reuse with capacity to read and write up to N-1 generation media
•
Encryption capabilities designed to work with the IBM Tivoli® Key Lifecycle
Manager
•
Small form factor to help improve space efficiency of tape infrastructure
•
High availability design
The high reliability of the 3592 tape drive and media is maintained and improved
with these features:
•
Giant Magneto Resistive (GMR) 32-channel head technology
•
Media partitioning capability setting the grounds for improved data management
on tape
•
Virtual backhitch improvements for increased performance avoids the backhitch
of the tape

250 MB/sec versus the 160 MB/sec data rate of the TS1130 Tape Drive Model E06. The TS1140 E07 Tape Drive has a dual-port 8-Gbps Fibre Channel interface for Fibre Channel attachment to host systems or a switched fabric environment. - Page 3 NA = Not Applicable Performance TS1140 E07 uses a design that increases the native data rate up to 250 MB/sec (up to 650 MB/sec compressed) versus the 160 MB/sec data rate of TS1130 Tape Drive Model E06. It is designed to offer improved access characteristics in search velocity and rewind time versus the TS1130 E06, with other enhancements designed to help aid small file and Hierarchical Storage Manager performance.
- Page 4 Solaris, and Microsoft Windows IBM tape device drivers. The failover mechanism is designed to enable configuration of multiple redundant paths in a SAN environment that includes the TS1140. In the event of a path or component failure, the failover mechanism is designed to automatically enable error recovery to retry the current operation using an alternate, preconfigured path without aborting the current job in progress.
