Optional deskside covers, rack mount kits, and additional cartridge magazines. A 3 Gbps SAS attachment for connection to selected IBM System p servers that support AIX and Linux operating systems, IBM System x servers that support Linux and Windows operating systems, and Sun Solaris Sparc servers. Increased performance, which allows maximum tape drive throughput native data rate performance of up to 120 MB/sec for IBM Ultrium 4 Tape Drives. Data tracks are written 16 at a time. Support for mixed media and IBM Ultrium 3 and 4 WORM media. IBM Ultrium 4 tape drives can read and write Ultrium 4 Data Cartridges, can read and write Ultrium 3 Data Cartridges at original Ultrium 3 capacities, and can also read LTO Ultrium 2 Data Cartridges with improved data rates. IBM Ultrium 3 Tape Drives can read and write LTO Ultrium 2 Data Cartridges at original Ultrium 2 capacities, and can also read LTO Ultrium 1 Data Cartridges with improved data rates of up to 20 MB/second native data transfer rate (40 MB/second with 2:1 compression). Ultrium 4 tape drives cannot read Ultrium 1 tapes. The IBM 3589 Ultrium GB WORM Tape Cartridges that are designed for applications such as archiving and data retention as well as those applications requiring an audit trail. These cartridges work with the IBM LTO Ultrium 4 Tape Drive to help prevent the alteration or deletion of user data. IBM Ultrium GB WORM Tape Cartridges can be ordered as unique 3589 models with the following features: Pre-labeling, with the ability to specify a starting volume serial and color-coding Packaging in individual jewel cases or in bulk Cartridge memory, built into every cartridge helps to enhance functionality and media reliability by storing access history and media performance information for use by the tape drive every time the cartridge is accessed Half-inch particle tape with a 800 GB WORM native capacity in a single cartridge The TS2900 is suitable for use in network-attached storage implementations, such as backups and mass storage archives where multiterabyte capacities are required. Storage and tape management is provided by software such as Tivoli Storage Manager and other compatible software offerings. Note: Although the Ultrium 4 and 3 Tape Drives provide the capability for excellent tape performance, other components of the system may limit the actual performance achieved. Also, although the compression technology used in the tape drive can typically double the amount of data that can be stored on the media, the actual degree of compression achieved is highly sensitive to the characteristics of the data being compressed. Proven IBM LTO Ultrium features in the IBM LTO Ultrium Tape Drives include: Dual-stage 16-channel head actuator: The actuator is designed to provide precision head alignment to help support higher track density and improved data integrity. Servo and track layout technology: There are 896 data tracks in Ultrium 4 and 704 data tracks in Ultrium 3. The high-bandwidth servo system features a low-mass servo to help more effectively track servo bands and helps improve data throughput with damaged media in lessthan-optimal shock and vibration environments. Surface Control Guiding Mechanism: IBM's patented Surface Control Guiding Mechanism is designed to guide the tape along the tape path in the Ultrium 4 Tape Drive. This method is designed to use the surface of the tape, rather than the edges, to control tape motion. This helps reduce tape damage (especially to the edges of the tape) and tape debris, which comes from the damaged edges and can accumulate in the head area. IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 3

4 Magneto Resistive (MR) head design: Use of flat lap head technology in MR heads for Ultrium 4 and Ultrium 3 helps minimize contact, debris accumulation, and wear on the tape as it moves over the read/write heads. Digital speed matching - The Ultrium 4 Tape Drive is designed to perform dynamic speed matching (at one of six speeds: 30, 48, 66, 84, 103, or 120 MB/sec) to adjust the drive's native data rate as closely as possible to the net host data rate (after data compressibility has been factored out). This helps reduce the number of backhitch repositions and improve throughput performance. Speed matching on Ultrium 4 ranges from 30 to 120 MB/sec versus 30 to 80 MB/sec on Ultrium 3. Separate writing of multiple filemarks: Separate writing of multiple filemarks is designed to evoke any write command of two or more filemarks to cause a separate data set to be written containing all filemarks after the first. It helps improve performance if a subsequent append overwrites somewhere after the first filemark. This change helps prevent having to rewrite data sets containing customer data and the first filemark if such an append occurs. LTO Data Compression (LTO-DC): The Ultrium 4 and Ultrium 3 uses LTO-DC, which is an implementation of a Lempel-Ziv class 1 (LZ-1) data compression algorithm. LTO-DC is an extension of Adaptive Lossless Data Compression (ALDC) and an improvement over previous IBM lossless compression algorithms. IBM's patented "Scheme-Swapping" compression is designed to look ahead at incoming data, and determine the most efficient storage method (either ALDC or pass-through mode) to help optimize data compression and increase data throughput. LTO Cartridge Memory (LTO-CM): Contained within the LTO Ultrium data cartridge is the LTO-CM, which is a passive, contactless silicon storage device that is physically a part of the cartridge. The LTO-CM is designed to hold information about that specific cartridge, the media in the cartridge, and the data on the media. The storage capacity of the LTO-CM is 8 KB. Communication between the drive and the LTO-CM is via a low-level RF field transmitted by the drive to the cartridge. Statistical Analysis and Reporting System (SARS): The Ultrium 4 Tape Drive uses SARS to help isolate failures between media and hardware. SARS uses the cartridge performance history saved in the CM module and the drive performance history kept in the drive flash EEPROM to help determine the likely cause of failure. SARS is designed to cause the drive to request a cleaner tape, to mark the media as degraded, and to indicate that the hardware has degraded. Ultrium 800 GB Data Cartridge: The tape cartridge physical capacity of the IBM Ultrium 800 GB Data Cartridge has doubled over the IBM Ultrium 400 GB Data Cartridge to 800 GB native physical capacity (1,600 GB with 2:1 compression). IBM LTO Ultrium 4 Tape Drives can read and write Ultrium 3 data cartridges, and read only Ultrium 2 data cartridges. These cartridges have been designed to provide several enhancements over previous tape technologies. They are designed to work with tape drives that have increased tape speeds and high-density data recording. The case is specially designed for use in automated libraries and is designed for repeated, unattended handling. The tape itself is an advanced metal particle tape developed for durability and capacity.

5 Affordability Loyalty to legacy or existing tape formats Work environment that has limited space The TS2900 Tape Autoloader and storage management applications help address these requirements and constitute a functionally rich tape storage solution incorporating half-high LTO Ultrium tape technology. The autoloader is designed for flexibility of tape library management and unattended save and restore operations. The TS2900 is an ideal solution if you use lowend tape or require a larger capacity or higher performance tape backup with or without random access. The TS2900 is an excellent choices for tape automation for System x, BladeCenter, Power Systems, Linux, and Windows servers. The TS2900 offers one IBM Ultrium 4 Half-High SAS Tape Drive or IBM LTO Ultrium 3 Half- High SAS Tape Drive, nine cartridge slots, (including one-cartridge I/O station) with a physical capacity of 14.4 TB (with 2:1 compression) or 7.2 TB native. The TS2900 is designed as a solution to growing storage requirements and shrinking backup windows in rack systems environments, and is part of a family of entry IBM System Storage LTO Ultrium tape products. These products constitute IBM Half-High LTO tape storage solutions and target those with existing half-high LTO drives or those requiring higher-performance automated tape backup from a different tape format than what is currently being used. For capacity requirements less than 7.2 TB (native), the IBM System Storage TS2230 or TS2240 Tape Drives should be considered. For capacity requirements above 15 TB, but yet with an entry-level automation need, the IBM System Storage TS3100 Tape Library should be considered with its one or two IBM Half- High LTO Ultrium 4 Tape Drives and 24-cartridge capacity. For capacity requirements greater than 40 TB (compressed) with drives and cartridge capacity scalability, the IBM System Storage TS3200 Tape Library should be considered. Customers can tailor the TS3200 Tape Library to accommodate up to four IBM Half-High LTO Ultrium tape drives, with a 48-cartridge capacity. For larger, more demanding backup and restore requirements, IBM System Storage offers a complete line of Full-High LTO tape drives and automation.
