    The M2488C offers leading mainframe technology for data interchange and backup to workstations and other advanced computer platforms. It features a low profile designed for high-volume data transfer, as well as near-line and off-line storage applications. Built for superior speed and reliability, the M2488C 36-Track tape drive offers an easy, cost-effective way to optimize overall system performance and enhance productivity.

    Improve Near-Line Or Off-Line Storage Options...

  • Performance: Up to 20 MB/sec data transfer rates, advanced interfaces, fast search speeds, quick rewind, rapid positioning, short load/unload cycles, efficient buffering
  • Compatibility: ANSI -Standard media, format and compression based on IBM 3480/3490/3490e technology for easy data interchange
  • Reliability: Proven technology from a technology leader
  • Flexibility: A choice of configurations for maximum flexibility, now and into the future

    • Performance Is The Key

    The M2488C 36-track tape drive offers high-speed data access and rapid transfer rates in a compact device-level tape drive. Fujitsu engineered this drive for optimal speed and efficiency, when moving, storing or accessing large blocks of data. The M2488C utilizes a range of high-speed, high-performance technologies to optimize data movement across the entire computer system from off-line archives to on line applications. These technologies combine to virtually eliminate sluggish, peripheral-bound operations that can cripple system efficiency and productivity.

    Easy Data Interchange

    The M2488C 36-track tape drive employs ANSI-Standard media with compression algorithms based on IBM 3480/3490/3490e technology, ensuring the easiest, most secure data interchange across complex computing platforms. That means important corporate data will always be available when it's needed, even when it's moving across mainframes, UNIX workstations, servers, PC's, distributed computing nodes and an assortment of storage subsystems. And for systems already using 3480/3490/3490e components, the M2488C is a perfect, low cost, high-performance storage replacement solution.

    The Flexible Storage Solution

    The M2488C is available in a variety of configurations to handle a range of customer options. Both desktop and rackmount models have the following optional features and functions available:

  • Automatic Cartridge Loader: Provides sequential or random processing of up to ten cartridges to support unattended backup of up to 24 GB.
  • Flush Mount Automated Cartridge Loader: Supports sequential or random processing of seven cartridges (16.8 GB maximum). It has the advantage of an automatic cleaning function.
  • Interface Personality Module: This convenient feature enables the M2488C to support a variety of SCSI interfaces that easily configure to address current and future requirements.
  • Seismic Data Feature: This feature facilitates a Read-After-Write verification process of data written to tape. It is ideal for seismic and other applications where it iscritical to ensure recorded data isn't corrupted.

    • Key Features

  • Reads 3480/3490/3490e & writes 3490e
  • High level of data checking throughout
  • Integrated power supply
  • Downloadable firmware via cartridge, SCSI interface, or RS/232 interface (9-pin DB-9 connector)
  • Seismic Data Feature (optional)

    • While we can sell you the tape drive by itself, Comco is best known for our complete tape drive sub-systems, which come with all the software, cables & SCSI controllers you need. Ask your Comco Rep for details.

    Available variations of the M2488 model "C": M2488C, M2488C1, M2488C2, M2488C3, M2488C4, M2488CA, M2488CA1, M2488CA2, M2488CA3, M2488CA4, M2488CF, M2488CF1, M2488CF2, M2488CF3, M2488CF4.
