IBM Magstar MP (Multi-Purpose) 3570
Tape Subsystem
IBM's MagstarT MP 3570 Tape Subsystem created for the
mid-sized storage arena is ideal for traditional backup and for
applications where fast access to mass data is important. Magstar
MP provides high performance for backup and other tape applications.
Data retrieval requests that require minutes on other tape devices
take only seconds on Magstar MP.
Connectivity: Magstar MP 3570 Tape
Subsystems provide a storage solution designed to function optimally
with IBM's iSeries and AS/400, pSeries and RS/6000, xSeries and
Netfinity servers, as well as non-IBM hardware and software systems
including HP-UXT, NTT, SunT , and Windows 2000T.
Automation ready: Magstar MP 3570
is designed for automation from the heavy duty cartridge designed
for repeated robotic handling to the broad family of library offerings
that store from 140GB to 420GB (3:1 compression).
Highlights
- A modular solution that allows for expansion
- Stand-alone or rack-mounted models
- High performance for backup operations
- I/O-intense operations
- Multiple users

| Overview |
| The IBM Magstar
MP 3570 Tape Subsystem provides a midrange tape storage
solution that delivers high performance and unsurpassed
reliability. This compact, integrated tape storage device
expands the capability of tape processing by optimizing
both read- and write-intensive operations. The Magstar
MP 3570 attaches to AS/400, RS/6000, HP, Windows NT, Sun,
and other SCSI-attached systems. |
|
| |
|
| The Magstar MP 3570 Tape
Subsystem has been enhanced to support the 7 GB Magstar
MP Fast Access Linear Tape C-format XL data cartridge
and is backward read- and write-compatible with the 5
GB Magstar MP Fast Access Linear Tape B-format and C-format
data cartridges. Existing Magstar MP 3570 5 GB Model C
drives can be upgraded with this new feature. |
| |
Improved data integrity
The Magstar MP 3570 brings a new level of reliability
and data integrity to the midrange environment and is
specifically designed for:
|
- Repeated tape load/unloads
|
- Higher tape drive duty cycles
|
- Increased overall mechanical reliability
|
- Increased overall data reliability
|
|
Faster data performance
The Magstar MP 3570 is designed to operate at fast
sustained data rates of up to 15MB per second (with maximum
compression), satisfying the high-performance demands
of today's midrange
computing environments. Its data transfer performance
is also balanced to provide the fast data recall that
satisfies the demand for responsive file retrievals for
near-online applications and high data transfer performance
for backup and recovery.
A Magstar MP 3570 library can have an unattended storage
capacity of 140 to 420GB of data (with 3:1 data compression).
The 3575 library expands capacity to 6.8TB (with 3:1 compression). |

|
Unattended tape operations
and higher storage capacity
Magstar MP technology is designed for integration with
tape storage devices that provide unattended tape handling.
Magstar MP tape subsystems can be installed for tape save/restore
today and can later evolve into advanced storage management
solutions that provide better combined use of disk and
tape.
In unattended mode, the leading-edge characteristics of
Magstar MP data retrieval are readily apparent. Data retrieval
requests that require minutes on other tape devices take
only seconds on Magstar MP, so you can use tape for near-online
storage.
This is possible in part because of the patented new Magstar
MP Fast Access Linear Tape Cartridge. The cartridge contains
a self-enclosed tape path that eliminates time-consuming
and cumbersome tape threading, loading, and unloading.
In addition, the tape features an innovative new midpoint
load design that dramatically reduces random search times. |

|
Bar code reader
A bar code reader is standard on all Model C libraries.
You can install this feature on existing libraries to
help you identify and inventory cartridges faster and
more efficiently. |
