StorageTek SL150 LTO 6 Half-Height Tape Drives from
IBM:
Since the StorageTek SL150's initial launch in 2012, we have
seen strong sales momentum throughout all geographic regions
and multiple industry verticals, from media and entertainment to
video surveillance, and several others. To satisfy the ever-
increasing demand for the StorageTek SL150 and customers'
desire to select drive suppliers, we continue to invest in technical
enhancements for the library. To that end, we have introduced
StorageTek LTO 6 half-height IBM FC and SAS tape drives (non-
encryption) in the StorageTek SL150. With the release of 2.50
firmware, the StorageTek SL150 now supports half-height LTO 6
drives from both IBM and HP, in addition to the StorageTek LTO 5
half-height HP FC and SAS drives. Customers now have the
option to choose their LTO 6 drive supplier (IBM or HP). And the
StorageTek SL150 supports a heterogeneous drive environment,
which means customers easily can add StorageTek LTO 6 half-
height IBM drives into their existing libraries if they choose.
Furthermore, we have tested and qualified the IBM drives with
our existing ISV partners to minimize any customer integration
activity.
