First IBM 726 Tape Unit

At 7,500 cps it was 56 times faster than punch cards

With 100 bpi it could store the equivalent of 35,000 punch cards

100% of the tapes were inspected with a microscope and knife…defects would be cut out and sent back to the manufacturer

Why IBM Media?Optimized for IBM tape solutions

Developed in parallel with IBM drives & automation to :

Maximize performance

Minimize data loss

Improve media longevity

Tested extensively on IBM drives & automation

IBM’s strong linkage between R&D, Manufacturing, Product Management and Product Field Engineering contribute to quality throughout the product life-cycle.

Provides end-to-end accountability

Strict quality control is exercised throughout tape production and media assembly for IBM Media

Not all drives & media are created equally, certification alone is not a statement of quality.

IBM LTO media, drives and automation successfully pass strict testing that goes beyond LTO specifications

Limited Lifetime Warranty - Free from workmanship in materials for 5 years

Why IBM Media?Stringent Quality Control

IBM LTO Ultrium 4 800GB Cartridge

LTO 4 800GB Rewritable Cartridge

MTM 3589-011 (P/N 95P4436)LTO 4 800GB WORM Cartridge MTM 3589-033 (P/N 95P4450)

High Capacity, high reliability for LTO Ultrium Generation 4 storage environments

800 GB (1.6 TB or 1600 GB with 2:1 compression) physical capacity – Higher capacity per volume requires less library cartridge capacity and helps reduce backup windows by requiring less mounts

Data that is encrypted by LTO Ultrium 4 drives can be stored on both rewritable and WORM media to help maintain data integrity

LTO 4 drives continue to use the LTO Universal Cleaning Cartridge MTM 3589-004 (P/N 35L2086)

LTO 4 Encryption Capability

Why is it important?

14

IBM Systems Group


Protection of Consumer Information A Big Issue

Many government agencies are requiring disclosure of security breaches– 32 states have security breach similar legislation (Source: www.Privacyrights.org)

– Similar United States legislation has been proposed

Industry organizations are also increasing scrutiny of security procedures.(Source: Payment Card Industry Security Audit Procedures Version 1)

Over 150 million consumers have been notified of potential security breaches regarding personal information since 2/2005

(Source: www.Privacyrights.org)

Customer Tape Data Protection Challenges

Protect tape data when removed from the primary data center

Protect tape data generated by a different

applications on different systems

Allow access to data after it has arrived at the business continuance site of business partner

Employ a consistent management strategy across different applications ,systems and locations

16

IBM Systems Group


EncryptionA powerful tool for protecting information

Data is encrypted by applying an encryption method and a “key”

A common encryption technique is the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)

Keys are random bit-streams of predetermined lengths

128, 192 and 256 bits

Encrypted data is unreadable without access to the “key”

If encrypted data is exposed, it is generally not considered a security breach

Encryption “Key Management” is managed in the application, at the system level or through the tape library

Why Outboard Encryption in the LTO Gen 4 Tape Drive?

High performanceEncryption in the LTO Gen 4 tape drive (FC and SAS) can be performed at native data rates

Less than 1% performance impactMinimizes impact on the batch processing window

Lower overall costLeverages traditional tape storage processes and infrastructure

Supports compression and encryption – maintaining media storage efficiency

Eliminates need for unique dedicated appliance hardware or server resources to perform encryption

Builds on proven tape encryption leadership

IBM was industries first tape encryption provider with the TS1120 Tape Drive
