| Information: | The IBM 3570 Magstar MP, with its 5GB cartridge, was the first, small-form-factor, midpoint-load tape device. It marked the introduction of a track-following, timing-based servo and several innovations that leveraged the technology of IBM disk storage.
Allows 300GB of storage capacity with near-online performance (with 3:1 LZ1 data compression).
Delivers sustained data transfer performance of 7MB/sec (native) and up to 15MB/sec per drive or 100GB/hour per two-drive library (with maximum compression).
Offers unattended save operation.
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.
Improved data integrity
Based on the popular IBM Magstar technology, 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.
