The IBM System Storage® TS3100 Tape Library Express Model and its
storage management applications are designed to exceed your capacity,
performance, data protection, reliability, affordability and application
requirements. The TS3100 is designed as a functionally rich, entry-
level tape-storage solution incorporating LTO tape technology.
The IBM TS3100 Express model is an excellent solution for large-
capacity or high-performance tape backup with or without random
access. The TS3100 is also an excellent choice for tape automation for
IBM Power Systems, IBM System x® and other open systems.

The IBM TS3100 Tape Library Express is well-suited for handling the
backup, restore and archive data-storage needs for small to medium-size
environments. With the use of one LTO full-height tape drive or up to
two LTO half-height tape drives and 24 tape cartridge capacity, the
IBM TS3100 is designed to take advantage of LTO technology to cost-
effectively handle growing storage requirements. The TS3100 Tape
Library is configured with two removable cartridge magazines, one on
the left side (12 data cartridge slots) and one on the right (12 data car-
tridge slots). Additionally, the left magazine includes a single mail slot to
help support continuous library operation while importing and exporting
media. A bar-code reader is standard in the library, supporting the
library’s operation in sequential or random access mode. The TS3100
also comes standard with remote management capabilities to allow for
backup, restore and archive data-storage needs for small to medium-size
environments. With the use of one LTO full-height tape drive or up to
