IBM 7334 Model 410 8mm Tape Library
The IBM 7334 8mm tape library provides
an integrated, cost-effective solution to RS/6000 users of 8mm tape
who want unattended backup in an automated tape library. The 7334
supports up to four M2T (Mammoth-2) 8mm tape drives with 10 fixed
and 20 removable slots for 30 8mm cartridges. The 7334 incorporates
hardware featuring the IBM developed Adaptive Lossless Data Compression
(ALDC). Using this compression technology, the IBM 7334 tape library
can deliver up to an astounding 4.5 TB at 432 GB/hour (assuming
2.5:1 compression).

Outstanding price/performance for RS/6000
systems
The IBM 7334 Model 410 Tape Library provides an integrated, cost-effective
solution for 8 mm tape users who need an automated way to back up
their IBM RS/6000* systems. The IBM 7334 Model 410 is based on enhanced
MammothTape technology combined with state-of-the art tape library
engineering and design.
The 7334 Model 410 supports up to four Mammoth-2
(M2) 8 mm tape drives and three removable magazines with slots for
thirty 8 mm cartridges-yielding a native capacity of up to 1.8 TB
with library throughput of 173 GB/hour. With 2.5:1 compression,
the 7334 Model 410 provides up to 4.5 TB of capacity and library
throughput rates up to 432 GB/hour. Occupying just five rack units
(5Us), this compact, high-performance library is designed to optimize
data center space by providing up to 900 GB of native capacity per
cubic foot (360 GB per unit of rack height).
The 7334 Model 410 is a robust backup solution
capable of employing up to four 8 mm M2 tape drives to enable overlapping
or concurrent operations. It connects to RS/6000 systems through
a variety of SCSI attachments and features Adaptive Lossless Data
Compression (ALDC), a state-of-the-art data compression technique
developed by IBM.
Excellent investment protection
The 7334 Model 410 can read tapes written by many earlier 8 mm products-such
as the IBM 7208 Model 341 and the IBM 7331 Model 305-protecting
your 8 mm tape technology investment and helping to ensure data
availability. The 7334 Model 410 also provides an excellent migration
and interchange path from many other 8 mm tape drives.
High-quality media
The 7334 Model 410 uses IBM-certified 8 mm Advanced Metal Evaporated
(AME) data cartridges with SmartClean technology. AME coating is
designed to improve overall readability and reliability compared
to metal-particle media. To help reduce user intervention and increase
data integrity, each cartridge contains a 2-meter section of cleaning
tape on either a 225, 150, or 75 meter cartridge containing 60,
40, or 20 GB of capacity respectively.
All cartridges are precision-manufactured to exact
specifications to help ensure consistently high quality and reliability.
Each cartridge features an IBM lifetime limited warranty.
You can order media for the 7334 Model 410 from
IBM Media Supplies Distribution or from authorized dealers. To order
