The IBM TS2360 Tape Drive—part of the entry-level IBM System Storage tape product family—supports the storage, security and compli-ance requirements of today’s organizations.

The TS2360 leverages the newest generation of LTO Ultrium technology, helping to cost-effectively handle growing storage requirements. The TS2360 Tape Drive is suited for handling backup, save and restore, and archival data storage needs with higher capacity and a higher data transfer rate than the previous generation.

In addition, the LTO Ultrium 6 technology is designed to support media partitioning and LTFS technology. It also continues to support encryption of data and write-once-read-many (WORM) media. The TS2360 Tape Drive is an excellent tape storage solution for organizations requiring backup and archival storage of their data.

The data transfer rate of the TS2360 has increased over the previous LTO Ultrium generation to up to 160 MBps with 6 Gbps SAS interface connectivity.

It also offers two SAS and one Ethernet port per drive to improve availability.
