IBM's Magstar MP 3570 Tape Subsystem created for the mid-sized storage arena is ideal for traditional backup and for applications where fast access to mass data is important. Magstar MP provides high performance for backup and other tape applications. Data retrieval requests that require minutes on other tape devices take only seconds on Magstar MP.Magstar MP 3570 Tape Subsystems provide a storage solution designed to function optimally with IBM's AS/400, RS/6000, Netfinity servers, as well as non-IBM hardware and software systems including HP-UX, NT, Sun, and Windows 2000. Magstar MP 3570 is designed for automation from the heavy-duty cartridge designed for repeated robotic handling to the broad family of library offerings that store from 140GB to 420GB (3: 1 compression). The Magstar MP family of tape drives provide: a modular solution that allows for expansion; stand-alone or rack-mounted models; high performance for backup operations; I/O-intense operations; multiple users. Network environments place new demands on tape storage solutions. New requirements consist of multi-host sharing, high performance data throughput, consistent availability and reliability, and timely access for data recall. The Magstar MP 3570 Tape Subsystem excels in this demanding and diverse environment. Magstar MP 3570 Drives have the fastest total cycle times of all comparable systems, by a factor of 4 or greater. The future for network I/O is automation, lower capacity tape cartridges (for faster search time), fast time-to-data, reliable performance, and overall high system capacity. Magstar MP 3570 Tape Subsystems provide that capability now!
