1.1 LTO overview This section will cover the following: ► LTO development ► Enhancements since announcement ► LTO model overview ► LTO detail on individual models 1.2 LTO development The Linear Tape Open (LTO) program is a joint initiative of Hewlett-Packard, IBM and Seagate Technology. In 1997, the three companies set out to enable the development of best-of-breed tape storage products by consolidating state-of-the-art technologies from numerous sources. The three companies also took steps to protect customer investment by providing a four generation roadmap and establishing an infrastructure to enable compatibility between competitive products. The LTO technology objective was to establish new open-format specifications for high capacity, high performance tape storage products for use in the midrange and network server computing environments, and to enable superior tape product options. LTO program cooperation goes beyond the initial three companies. LTO format specifications have been made available to all who want to participate through standard licensing provisions. LTO program technology has already attracted a number of other industry leaders, so that LTO specified products (tape drives and tape storage cartridges) will reach the market from multiple manufacturers, not just the Technology Provider Companies. This is critical to meeting an open market objective, and is accomplished through open licensing of the technology. Cooperation is also evident in the LTO program requirement that all products produced by licensees be technically certified annually. The primary objective of this certification is to help determine whether LTO format cartridges will be exchangeable across drives produced by different Ultrium manufacturers. Simply restated as, "LTO compliant media from any vendor can be read and written in LTO compliant drives from any vendor ". All three consortium members (IBM, HP and Seagate) are now shipping LTO products. This redbook will discuss only the IBM LTO Ultrium product line.

1.2.1 LTO enhancements since introduction Since their introduction in 2000, there have been several enhancements to the IBM LTO family in the areas of feature, function and connectivity. August 23, 2000 - Initial announcements for all products On August 23, 2000, the LTO family was announced. It comprised the following products: ► 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive ► 3581 Ultrium Tape Autoloader ► 3583 Ultrium Scalable Tape Library ► 3584 Ultrium UltraScalable Tape Library Included with this announcement, there were already several previews of future function planned for the LTO product line. The IBM definition of preview is: Previews provide insight into IBM plans and direction. Specific availability dates, ordering information and terms and conditions will be provided when the product is announced. Preview for 3580, 3581 & 3583 ► Fibre Channel attachment through SAN Data Gateway ► Linux operating system support Preview for 3584 ► Fibre Channel — Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) attachment ► Expanded Input/Output Station ► Support for Digital Linear Tape (DLT) technology ► Remote management and support features ► Certification in SAN solutions including LAN-free backup ► LINUX operating system support for open systems servers February 20, 2001 3584 announcement information ► Native FC-AL attach ► SAN Lan free backup capability 3584 preview ► Linux server attachment Chapter 1.
