Midrange/Enterprise Tape Products
F/W = Fast/Wide, Diff = Differential, N/A = Not Applicable, FC = Fibre Channel, X = Extended length cartridge, IOE = IBM Onsite Exchange, CRU = Customer Replaceable Unit
NOTES 1: Typical compression for mainframe environments is 3:1; 2:1 for open systems (user results may vary) 2: Max number of 3592 cartridges decreases as tape drives are added 3: IBM AIX 4.1.5 or later. 4: Load and search only 5: Server platforms with SAN-ready attacha-
bility, model- and feature-dependent. 6: The latest ISV support can be found in the connectivity section at http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/storage/tape/library.html#compatibility. 7: The following vendors provide application support to the platforms defined above: A = IBM Tivoli
Storage Manager, B = Symantec Veritas NetBackup, C = Symantec Veritas Backup Exec, D = EMC Legato NetWorker, E = CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup, F = HP OpenView Storage Data Protector, G = CommVault Galaxy, H = BakBone NetVault, I = LSC, J = IBM BRMS,
K = IBM OnDemand, L = Help/Systems Robot/Save, M = LXI Media Management. 8: Performance varies by environment 10: Applies to Linux on System z using FCP 11: Requires RPQ 12: EE = Enterprise Edition LE = Limited Edition
