to earlier models of the IBM 7205 Digital Linear Tape**(DLT)drive
Overview
With the growing reliance on client/ server computing,organizations
of all sizes are turning to server-based databases to store their
mission-critical data.Because these databases are often the most
important information resource in their enterprise,organizations
need storage solutions that can provide high performance,large capacity,data
integrity,and reliability for important business applications. In
addition,the increased use of data storage to provide better customer
service and improved business solutions requires fast,dependable,
and affordable disk-to-tape backup operations and large data archive
and retrieval facilities.To help address these demanding data backup,restore,and
archive application requirements,users can turn to the IBM 7205
40 GB External Digital Tape Drive Model 440.
The IBM 7205 Model 440 is an external,stand-alone,SCSI-attached,
DLT drive that attaches to both IBM RS/6000*and IBM ~pSeries* families
of workstations and servers. The IBM 7205 Model 440 features a native
transfer rate of up to 6 MB/sec, with a native cartridge capacity
of 40 GB.The IBM 7205 Model 440 also supports 2:1 data compression,providing
an effective capacity of up to 80 GB and an effective data transfer
rate of up to 12 MB/sec.The actual degree of compression is highly
dependent on the characteristics of the data being compressed,such
as block size and data format.
Digital Linear Tape Technology
The IBM 7205 Model 440 provides noticeable advantages in performance
and capacity compared to previous versions,such as the Model 311.To
help provide accurate operations,the tape leader supports consistent
tape motion,while a unique tape/reel locking mechanism prevents
tape slack.The tape media features a special highgrade metal particle
formula that reduces tape and head wear and employs a 208-track
serial serpentine variable block recording format.The IBM 7205 Model
440 is backward-compatible with previous DLT formats.
An integrated software solution
The IBM 7205 Model 440 includes its own device driver that is used
by save/ restore utilities provided with the AIX* operating system.
Managing the IBM 7205 Model 440 with industry-leading tape management
and soft ware solutions such as Tivoli Storage Manager** or those
from other soft ware providers can simplify its use.
