The Next Generation


IBM TotalStorage®

I need to reduce operator intervention!

My disk drives are filling up!

I need to reduce my storage costs!

Our users want faster access to more data!

Our backup window is shrinking!

We want unattended tape operations!

Our floor space is filling up!

I need to ensure data recovery!

We need to centralize our tape storage operations!

Media StrategyObjective

Protect customers’ investment in new 3592 tape mediaDescription

The new 3592 tape cartridge will be compatible with the next two generations of 3592 tape drives

Read back two generationsWrite back one generation

Write back support is a new capabilityAllows for ease of migration,

The next generation 3592 tape drive is being designed to write to cartridges in the first generation format This will support the ability of first generation 3592 tape drives to continue to read data created by the next generation tape drive

Transitioning to the next generation format will substantially increase the amount of data stored on the same tape cartridge

Plan is to support up to 500-700 GB of native capacity

Media reutilization may result in substantial savings on tape media for some customers

Develop a single drive that can provideHigh capacityFast access to data

Address a majority of Enterprise application requirementsthe capacity required to backup large databasesrapid access to data for random retrieval applications

Hierarchical Storage ManagersContent Management Application

a cost-effective solution for ‘non-alterable’ reference dataMay be required by regulatory bodies

can attach to the Virtual Tape Server to help further reduce costs

Establish a product development cycle that will protect existing investment in 3494 tape librariesprotect new investments in media for 10+ years

Reduce the total cost of ownership

Additional Development Objectives



3592 Tape Drive Description

Small form factor drive designed for automation

The 3592 is an Enterprise Class tape drive that is designed to provide: Data transfer rates up to 40 MB/secCapacity to 300 GB per cartridge*1

Time to first byte of data as low as 33 seconds*2

Average search time of 12 seconds*2

Rewind time of 20 seconds*2

Uses a new IBM cartridge format that can be initialized as a 60 GB cartridge to provide fast access to data or300 GB cartridge to provide high capacity

Includes a dual-ported 2 Gbit FC / FC-AL interfaceAuto-negotiate to 1 Gbit or 2 Gbit

based on 60 GB 3592 Cartridge capacity



3592 Cartridge Media

Uses a new ‘dual layer’ metal particle media Allows greater recording density and datarate

Supports enhanced Statistical Analysis Recording System

Compatible with existing automation

Available in a Standard Length, 600 Meter CartridgeCan be initialized to two native capacities

60 GB capacity to provide rapid access to data 300 GB to provide a high capacity solution

Capacity will typically range from the native capacity *up to 600 GB in Open System environments up to 900 GB in zSeries environments

* assumes 2:1 compression for open systems and 3:1 for mainframe



Capacity Scaling - Overview

Default Tape Read/Write Processing

300 GB

Scaled Tape Processing - example: to 20%

60 GB

Not used

Scaling can provide the capability to tailor the amount of tape used to meet specific application needs

Shortening the tape improves the time to first byte of data - Time to first byte of data can be as low as 30 seconds (need test to verify)Helps eliminate the need to manage different physical tape media for fast access or high capacity

Capacity Scaling - OverviewDescription

Utilizes the standard 3592 Tape CartridgeTapes may be scaled to either full length or 60 GBsScaling is implemented by tape drive commandsTape cartridges can repeatedly be scaled/unscaled

Operating EnvironmentszSeries support for scaling

OS/390 V2 R10 and z/OSAvailable in SMS and non-SMS environments enabled environments

Uses ACS Routines (Dataclass) and Open/Close/EOV processingDFSMShsm®and DFSMSdfp®OAM exploit this new feature

Open SystemsMay use pre-scaled tape media,

Use of assigned serial number ranges for the scaled media and ordering of IBM prescaled, labeled media

Application vendors have not yet announced support for tape drive scaling

Potential BenefitUp to a 70% reduction in locate time

Provides customers with the ability to use one tape cartridge and one tape drive for both high rapid access and high capacity

Increased drive data rate and Fibre Channel interface speed could help:Improve application performanceDecrease batch window

Increased tape cartridge capacity and drive density in automation frames could help by:

Less cartridge handling, fewer mountsRequiring less floor space, lower slot investment

Resulting in lower costs per MB of tape storage and tape operations

Leverage existing automation footprints Coexist with existing tape drives and media

A single tape drive for a variety of workloadsEasier management, better asset utilization

Position infrastructure for rapid data growth

Potential Benefits



Addressing business objectives Substantially improved business processesDramatically reduced Total Cost of OwnershipProvide outstanding investment protectionHarden Business Continuance environmentSignificantly improved operational efficiency
