    IBM Tape History – Session 1: Tape Media Bill Phillips, Ric Bradshaw, Andy Gaudet Moderated by: Tom Gardner Recorded: October 12, 2015 Tucson, AZ Also present off camera: Joel Levine Al Rizzi John Teale CHM Reference number: X7617.2016 © 2015 Computer History Museum IBM Tape History – Session 1: Media Introduction This is session one of five sessions held in Tucson, AZ, regarding IBM’s tape storage history. The five sessions are: 1. Tape Media (CHM catalog number: 102737992) 2. Overview of tape products and product management (CHM catalog number: 102737994) 3. 3480 tape drive (CHM catalog number: 102738021) 4. Linear Tape Open (LTO) Consortium (CHM catalog number: 102738023) 5. Recovery of tapes damaged in Challenger disaster (CHM catalog number: 102738025). IBM’s tape development began in the late 1940s in the Kenyon Mansion, Poughkeepsie, NY, (later IBM’s management training site)1 and moved to the then new Poughkeepsie lab in 1954. The first production units shipped in 1952. In 1965 production and development moved to Boulder, Colorado, then from Boulder to San Jose, California in 1973 and then back to Boulder in 19772. Its movement to Tucson, Arizona, was announced that same year and began in 1978.

  • Tape Drive Selection — a How-To Guide
    Tape Drive Selection — A How-To Guide THE CLIPPER GROUP TM SMSM Explorer SM Navigating Information Technology Horizons Published Since 1996 Report #TCG2004040 May 7, 2004 Tape Drive Selection — A How-To Guide Analyst: David Reine Management Summary Tape is an essential medium for the data center. It is as important to the secure operation of the computer room as tires are to the safe operation of an automobile, with as many or more choices. Both are commodity products. Goodyear sells tires that will fit on everything from a Chevrolet to a Lexus. Bridgestone sells tires that fit a Toyota or a Mercedes. Likewise, Quantum sells tape drives that will operate with anything from a Dell PC to an IBM eServer. Exabyte sells tape products that will work with any UNIX box. You can even buy an IBM 3592 drive in an IBM frame to work with a StorageTek library!1 There are a significant number of variables associated with the selection of either. Furthermore, it is not always obvious which variable is the most significant. The first option that the tire shopper faces is the warranty mileage. Does he want a tire that has a 20,000, 40,000, or 50,000-mile warranty? The first reaction might be to select the tires that will last the longest. However, they will probably cost the most! It is important to understand how many miles the car will drive over the next year. It is important to calculate how many more years that the driver will continue to own this car.
