IBM TS4300 Tape Library

Foster an air-gapped cyber resilient long-term data storage in a highly scalable tape library

IBM® TS4300 Tape Library is a high-density, highly scalable, easy-to-manage solution designed to keep data securely stored long-term, while helping reduce the costs associated with data center space and utilities. Its modular design enables you to increase cartridge and drive capacity as needed—scale vertically up to seven modules with expansion for Linear Tape-Open (LTO) Ultrium cartridges, drives and redundant power supplies. IBM TS4300 enhanced modern data protection helps meet security and compliance requirements. 

  • The TS4300 can scale vertically with up to seven modules, with expansion for LTO Ultrium 8, 7 and 6 cartridges.
  • TS4300 supports WORM cartridges to enhance modern data protection and provides library-managed encryption with IBM Security Key Lifecycle Manager.
  • TS4300 is based on an embedded, open-source software architecture to help speed deployment and simplify management.
  • TS4300 is a high-density, highly scalable, easy-to-manage tape library designed to reduce both CAPEX and OPEX for data center space.
  • TS4300 provides simple, inherent air gapped data protection by creating a data copy essentially impossible for hackers to corrupt, eliminating the ransomware of infection and re-infection cycle.
