Proactively monitor archived data with policybased media verification
Strengthen security and compliance with encryption and WORM media
Simplify user access to data stored on tape via IBM Spectrum Archive
Provide a flexible upgrade path to expand tape storage as needs grow
Reduce storage footprint and simplify cabling with 5U or 10U top rack space
Optimize connectivity with FC, Ethernet and SAS interface attachments
Cyber resilient technology with physical air gap

Respond to cloud storage challenges with a next-generation cloud storage solution that delivers high storage density and integrated management

Big data offers vast opportunities for business insight, but you need the right technology to help you manage and use that data. IBM cloud solutions can help you harness the power of big data while reducing costs and enabling a secure environment.

TS4500 answers those business needs by incorporating the latest generation of industry-leading LTO and IBM enterpriseclass technology that will help organizations handle the growing data demands of modern tape use cases like big data, cloud, media and entertainment, ultra high-definition editing, digital video surveillance, Internet of Things (IoT), active file archiving and, of course, backup.

The next-generation IBM TS4500 Tape Library is designed to help midsized and large enterprises meet cloud storage challenges, including data volume growth, rising storage footprint costs, data migration efforts and the increased complexity of IT training and management as staff resources shrink.

TS4500 delivers the density that today’s data growth requires—along with the efficiency and manageability to grow with business needs while preserving your existing investments in IBM tape library products. You can achieve both a low per-terabyte cost and high density, with up to 8.76 PB of data in a single 10 square-foot library using LTO Ultrium 8 cartridges or 11 PB with 3592 cartridges.

TS4500 provides advanced capabilities for integrated tape drive and media management, delivered within a singlepane-of-glass management console. The TS4500 graphical user interface (GUI) is based on the unified interface used in other IBM storage solutions. It includes key features to help guide storage administrators in completing critical tasks. For example, you can monitor a tape library via persistent, at-aglance library utilization and health status indicators.
