The 35P1972 IBM 2.5TB/6.25TB LTO-6 FC FH Tape Drive is a high-performance tape drive that is designed to meet the needs of enterprise-level data storage applications. It is capable of storing up to 2.5 terabytes of uncompressed data, or up to 6.25 terabytes of compressed data, on a single tape cartridge.
In terms of performance benchmarks, the 35P1972 IBM tape drive has a data transfer rate of up to 160 megabytes per second (MB/s) for uncompressed data and up to 400 MB/s for compressed data. This means that it can quickly and efficiently store and retrieve large amounts of data.
In addition to its high performance, the 35P1972 IBM tape drive is also highly reliable. It has a mean time between failures (MTBF) rating of 250,000 hours, which means that it is expected to operate reliably for long periods of time without requiring significant maintenance or repairs.
Data Encryption and Security FeaturesThe 35P1972 IBM 2.5TB/6.25TB LTO-6 FC FH Tape Drive is a tape storage device designed for enterprise-level data backup and archival. This tape drive incorporates advanced data encryption and security features to protect sensitive information stored on the tapes.
One of the key security features of the 35P1972 tape drive is its hardware-based data encryption capability. The drive uses 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption, which provides strong protection against unauthorized access to the data. The encryption is performed by the tape drive hardware itself, which ensures that the data is protected even if the tape is lost or stolen.
Another security feature of the 35P1972 tape drive is its support for Write Once Read Many (WORM) functionality. With this feature, data can be written to the tape once and then be prevented from being modified or erased. This makes the tape drive ideal for storing compliance-related data, such as financial records or medical data, that must be retained for a certain period of time and cannot be altered.
The 35P1972 tape drive also includes a range of other security features, such as support for Fibre Channel security protocols, which provides secure communication between the tape drive and the host server. Additionally, the tape drive includes a Secure Key Encryption (SKE) feature that allows users to manage their own encryption keys, which gives them complete control over the security of their data.
Benefits of UsingThe 35P1972 IBM 2.5TB/6.25TB LTO-6 FC FH Tape Drive is a high-capacity data storage device designed for enterprise-level backup and archival applications. Here are some of the benefits of using this tape drive:
- High capacity: The LTO-6 technology used in this tape drive provides a native capacity of 2.5TB and a compressed capacity of 6.25TB. This means that it can store a large amount of data on a single tape, which is ideal for long-term storage and backup purposes.
- High performance: The LTO-6 technology also provides high data transfer rates of up to 400MB/s (1,400GB/hour) for faster backups and restores. This makes it suitable for demanding backup environments that require fast and reliable performance.
- Cost-effective: Tape storage is generally considered more cost-effective than other storage solutions like hard drives or flash storage. This is because tape media is relatively inexpensive and has a long lifespan, making it a great choice for long-term archival storage.
- Reliable: Tape storage is also known for its reliability, as tapes are not susceptible to mechanical failures like hard drives. They are also less prone to data corruption and are not affected by electromagnetic interference.
- Compatibility: The LTO-6 format is widely adopted in the industry, which means that tapes written with this tape drive can be read by other LTO-6 tape drives from different vendors. This provides greater flexibility and interoperability in multi-vendor environments.
