Description
Product overview of the IBM 17R7063
The 17R7063 IBM 6TB/15TB Lto-7 Ultrium 15000 HH SAS Internal Tape Drive is a high-performance storage solution designed to meet the demanding data backup and archiving needs of modern enterprises. This internal tape drive is built with advanced technologies that ensure reliable and efficient data transfer, storage, and retrieval.
An internal tape drive is a storage device that is installed inside a computer or a server to provide backup and archival storage. It uses magnetic tape to store data, which is written and read using a tape head. Internal tape drives offer several advantages over other storage devices, such as hard drives and solid-state drives, including high capacity, low cost, and durability.
Key Features
Internal Tape Drive is a powerful storage solution that comes with several advanced features, including:
- High Capacity: This tape drive has a native storage capacity of 6 terabytes (TB) and a compressed capacity of up to 15 TB. This high storage capacity allows enterprises to store large amounts of data on a single tape cartridge, reducing the need for multiple tapes.
- High Transfer Rates: The 17R7063 IBM tape drive has a high data transfer rate of up to 750 megabytes per second (MB/s) for uncompressed data and up to 2.7 gigabytes per second (GB/s) for compressed data. This fast data transfer rate ensures quick and efficient backup and archival operations.
- Advanced Encryption: This tape drive is equipped with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256-bit encryption, which ensures the security and confidentiality of data stored on the tape. This encryption technology is highly secure and widely used in government and military applications.
- Easy Integration: The 17R7063 IBM tape drive is designed for easy integration with existing IT infrastructures. It supports the SAS interface, which allows it to connect to a wide range of servers, workstations, and storage systems.
- Reliability: This tape drive is designed for high reliability and durability, with a Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of 250,000 hours. It also features an advanced error correction mechanism that ensures data integrity during storage and retrieval.
