IBM Announces New Tape Products
IBM (NYSE: IBM) will announce new tape-related products, including a new tape format and better robotics for its high-end tape library. According to this report on The Register, IBM is positioning tape as an integrated archival tier of data storage.
"The new TS1140 drive and format holds 4TB of native data per cartridge – 20 per cent less than the Oracle T10000c 5TB – but transfers native data at 295.5MB/sec (my derived number, based on 2.2:1 compression and 650MB/sec max compressed throughput), significantly faster than the Oracle drive's 240MB/sec. IBM claims its TS1140 has the highest linear density of any tape drive in the industry."
