The IBM 3590-E11 track tape drive is an automatic cartridge facility (ACF) that is rack mounted. The 3590-E11 utilizes 10 cartridges ACF and acts as a mini library and can access 1.2TB maximum of data.

• Attachment options, including Fibre Channel, Ultra SCSI, ESCON, and FICON

• Large capacity cartridges reduce the number of cartridges required and tape mounts

• 10-cartridge random-access library with magazine

• Significant improvement in reliability

• Available as stand-alone or rack-mount

• Small footprint reduces floor space required

The IBM TotalStorage(TM)Enterprise Tape System 3590 (E11) provides high levels of capacity, performance, and reliability for IBM eServer iSeries (AS/400), IBM eServer pSeries (RS/6000), IBM eServer xSeries, IBM mainframe servers, and a variety of non-IBM UNIX and Microsoft Windows** systems. It offers significant enhancements over previous IBM 3480, 3490, or 3490E tape drives and demonstrates IBM’s continued leadership in storage solutions. The Enterprise Tape System 3590 includes tape drives and controllers that can be flexibly configured in a broad range of solutions that includes stand-alone frames or racks, or in automated library solutions to meet a broad set of customer requirements. The 3590 Tape Drives can be attached to a SCSI host interface or Fibre Channel interface of selected IBM and non-IBM midrange and open platforms. The tape drives can also attach to ESCON and FICON channels on host systems through a 3590 controller.

The IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Tape Drive 3590 Model E11 is the rack-mountable model that includes a 10-cartridge Automatic Cartridge Facility (ACF) that can be used in a random access mode as a mini-library. Up to four 3590 Model E11 Tape Drives can be installed in a rack, thus reducing the floor space required. The ACF can be quickly loaded with a new magazine. This model can be ordered with either an integrated SCSI-3 controller with two ports that support a 16-bit, fast-and-wide, Ultra SCSI differential interface or a dual ported Fibre Channel attachment interface. It can also be mounted in an IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Tape Drive Frame 3590 Model A14 with the IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Tape Controller 3590 Model A60 for non-library attachment to ESCON and FICON channels. The Model E11 Tape Drive has a 14 MB/second native data rate (with compression up to 40 MB/second sustained data rate with Fibre Channel).
