The Enterprise Tape Library 3494 is a cost-effective, highly reliable, and space-efficient tape automation solution for a variety of user environments. The 3494 can be shared across multiple host systems such as S/390, AS/400, RS/6000, and others. It is a modular system that contains a cartridge accessor, a library manager, and storage cells for tape cartridges. The 3494 supports the IBM 3490E Model C1A, C2A, and F1A Tape Drives, the 3590 Model H1A, E1A, and B1A Tape Drives the 3590 Model A00, A50, and A60 Controllers, and can include the 3494 VTS Model B16. A Model B10, B18, or B20 VTS can be externally attached to the 3494. The VTSs are cost/performance solutions to provide attached host systems a hierarchical storage management system and exploit the capacity and performance of attached 3590 Tape Drives. The Model HA1 Frames provide a second accessor and library manager for high availability and improved performance. The 3494 provides a cost-effective solution for automating tape operations such as save/restore, migration of data between disk and tape, and other mass data applications. Cost savings result from high performance and reduced requirements in tape drives, cartridges, floor space, power, and personnel.
