IBM Diamondback Tape Library

Preserve and protect data with sustainable, cyber-resilient, ultra-high-density tape storage

Next-generation sustainable ultra-high-density storage, which builds on more than two decades of storage innovation. IBM® Diamondback delivers high-capacity, long-term data storage with the air-gapped cyber resiliency only tape can provide.

Organisations face challenges in managing vast amounts of data, especially those with hundreds of petabytes, in fields like machine learning, autonomous driving, pharmaceutical research, and astrophysics.

​They require reliable storage, backup, and recovery systems to protect against natural disasters and cyberattacks.

 

KEY BENEFITS OF DIAMONDBACK:

Ultra high-density storage
IBM Diamondback delivers ultra high-data density, with up to 46.4 PB2 of native data in a single eight-square-foot library using LTO Ultrium 10 cartridges.

Massive capacity
Using standard 2.5:1 compression, each IBM Diamondback Tape Library can store up to 116.1 PB, which provides the high-capacity organisations need to retain their growing volume of data.

Enhanced security
IBM Diamondback features tape-drive encryption, automatic data-path failover, dual robotic grippers, and WORM media support to improve management and help reduce risk in operations.

Enhanced cyber resilience
Because it’s physically separated from an organisation’s primary storage systems, IBM Diamondback Tape Library provides an “air gap” that helps isolate archived data and improves cyber resilience.
