3584 UltraScalable Library Overview
The IBM TotalStorage UltraScalable Tape Library 3584 is part of the
family of tape library storage solutions designed for the large,
unattended storage requirements from today's midrange systems up to
high-end open systems. Each aspect of the subsystem is designed to
optimize access to data and reliability. The UltraScalable Tape Library
3584 supports the IBM TotalStorage LTO Ultrium 2 Tape Drive, in addition
to the Ultrium 1 Tape Drive, and the IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Tape
Drive 3592. IBM LTO Ultrium tape drives are compact storage devices that
support the highly intensive read and write operations required by
today's open system servers. The IBM LTO Ultrium 2 Tape Drive is the
second generation of LTO Ultrium tape drives in the IBM TotalStorage LTO
Ultrium family of products. The 3592 Tape Drives are designed to provide
high levels of performance, functionality, and cartridge capacity
supporting the 3592 tape format, including Write Once Read Many (WORM)
media support.
The 3584 Library Models L32 and D32 can be equipped with IBM
TotalStorage LTO Ultrium 1 or 2 Tape Drives, the Models L52 and D52 with
IBM TotalStorage LTO Ultrium Fibre Channel Tape Drives, and the Models
L22 and D22 with the IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Tape Drive 3592. The
3584 Models D22, D52, L22, and L52 have a smaller footprint than the
Models D32 or L32, so they take up less floor space. The Ultrium 2 Tape
Drives and data cartridges can be resident in the same UltraScalable Tape
Library 3584 frame with original Ultrium 1 Tape Drives and data

Ultrium 1, 2, and 3 Tape Drives and the IBM TotalStorage 3592 Enterprise
Tape Drive. IBM LTO Ultrium tape drives are compact storage devices
designed to support the highly intensive read and write operations
required by today's open system servers.
The IBM Ultrium 3 Tape Drive is the third generation of LTO Ultrium
tape drives in the IBM TotalStorage LTO Ultrium family of products.
Ultrium 3 Tape Drives and data cartridges can be resident in same 3584

cartridges. The 3584 supports mixed media in the same library by
supporting the intermix of the Models D22, D32, and D52 within a 3584
library. Input/Output (I/O) stations are located on the Models L22, L32,
or L52 to facilitate tape loading and unloading.
The 3584 UltraScalable Tape Library is designed to provide an
excellent network data backup/archive solution. With the granularity and
scalability to follow your requirements from a few servers to hundreds of
clients, from gigabytes to terabytes, this powerful pairing can grow with
you, helping protect your investment.

The 3584 Models D22, D52, L22, and L52 have a smaller footprint than the
Models D32 or L32, so they take up less floor space. The Ultrium 3 Tape
Drives and data cartridges can be resident in the same 3584 Tape Library
frame with Ultrium 1 or 2 Tape Drives and data cartridges, and adjacent
frames can have 3592 Tape Drives and data cartridges. The 3584 supports
mixed media in the same library by supporting the intermix of the Models
D22, D32, and D52 within a 3584 library. Input/Output (I/O) stations are
located on the Models L22, L32, or L52 to facilitate tape loading and
unloading. The 3584 High Availability Model HA1 may be added to the 3584
Tape Library Base Frame Models L22, L32, or L52. In conjunction with a
service bay feature on the 3584 Model D22 or D52, the Model HA1 provides
for the installation and operation of a second library accessor in a 3584
Tape Library to help improve availability and performance.

Cartridge move time within the 3584 UltraScalable Tape Library is
typically less than 3.0 seconds in a single-frame library. The
dual-gripper accessor can retrieve the next cartridge to be mounted,
unload the current cartridge, and load the next cartridge, providing the
following potential benefits as compared to a single gripper:
