Description
Enable flexible growth
Leverage flexibility that enables the library to grow from both the right and the left side of the first L frame since models can be placed in any active position.
Support capacity on demand
Utilize support for entry-level, intermediate and base-capacity configurations.
Utilize dynamic storage management
Use the Advanced Library Management System to support dynamic storage management, enabling users to create and change logical libraries and configure any drive into any logical library.
Increase overall system availability
Help increase mount performance and overall system availability with dual robotic accessors.
Gain file-level access to data
Access data at the file-level without the need for proprietary applications. IBM TS4500 supports IBM Spectrum Archive with IBM Linear Tape File System (LTFS) technology.
