Enhancements of TS1140 tape drive include:

  • The TS1140 EH7 (3592-EH7) drive is the HD2-compatible model of the TS1140 tape drive for installation in HD2 frames of TS4500 tape library.
  • Model conversions are also supported to allow TS1140 tape drive model E07 to be moved from a TS3500 tape library to the HD2 frames of TS4500.
  • TS1140 Tape Drive (machine type 3592) is the fourth generation of the 3592 enterprise tape drive and is designed to provide higher levels of performance, reliability, and cartridge capacity than the TS1130 Model E06 tape drive. It 32-channel GMR head design to deliver a native data rate performance of up to 250MB/s versus the 160MB/s data rate of the TS1130. The TS1140 has dual-port 8Gb FC interfaces for FC attachment to host systems or a switched fabric environment.
  • With the use of the IBM Tape Cartridge 3592 Advanced Data (Type C), TS1140 can format a cartridge uncompressed up to 4TB (12TB with 3:1 compression). TS1140 is designed for automation and uses a tape cartridge with a form factor similar to other 3592 tape cartridges, allowing it to be used in the TS4500 tape library.
  • The TS1140 supports drive-based data encryption to help protect data. The TS1140-based encryption and associated IBM Security Key Lifecycle Manager component are supported in a variety of OS environments, including Power, System i, System x, System p, HP-UX, Oracle, Linux, and Windows. Application, System, or Library Managed encryption management methods are supported. The encryption capability is supported when the TS1140 is integrated with or attached to selected IBM supported tape libraries, subsystems, or controllers.

Key prerequisites
The TS1140 is supported in a range of environments including selected Power Systems, IBM System i, System p, System x, and other servers running AIX, Linux, Oracle Solaris, and Windows OS environments.

Planned availability date: June 13, 2014
