8. IBM TS4300 Entry/Mid range Tape Library
Improved ease-of-use and scale up tape storage capacity The modular design enables you to increase cartridge and drive capacity as needed. The TS4300 scales vertically up to six expansion modules, supporting LTO Ultrium 6, 7 and 8 drives with improved management capabilities
Meet compliance requirements
TS4300 supports WORM cartridges for data protection and data encryption in LTO tape drives and encryption key management—all to help you meet security and compliance requirements.
Reduce costs for data center space
TS4300 offers the best TCO in the segment by delivering a wider variety of drive form factors and drive interfaces, while no license fees are needed as you grow.

17. Migration Considerations
Migrating from LTO5 or LTO6 to LTO8 technology:
Re-direct all new writes to the new tape drives and let the old data expire.
Copy any old data to the new drives or include one or two LTO7 drives.
Data copies can be facilitated by the backup software
Cartridges can be consolidated onto higher capacity LTO resulting in significant reduction in tapes
Moving to LTO7 or beyond better positions the customer for growth.
