The IBM 3592 is a group of tape drives and corresponding magnetic tape data storage media formats manufactured by IBM. The ibm 3592 tape cartridge is available from Acumen Technologies, South Africa. The initial drive, which highlighted the IBM product number 3592, was launched under the nickname Jaguar. The drive after this was known as the TS1120, which also had the nickname Jaguar. As of November 2018, the current drive is the TS1160 Gen 6. The 3592 series of tape drives and media is not compatible with the IBM 3590 series of drives, which it superceded. This series can store up to 15 TB of data (uncompressed) on a single tape and has a native data transfer rate of up to 360 MB/s.
Like the 3590 and 3480 prior to it, this tape format has half inch tape spooled onto 4-by-5-by-1 inch data cartridges containing a single reel. A take-up reel is embedded inside the tape drive. Because of their performance, stability, durability and low media cost, the 3592 tape drives are still very sought after. A hallmark of the genre is interchangeability. Tapes recorded with one tape drive are generally readable on another drive, even if the tape drives were made by different manufacturers.
Since TS1120 all drives include built-in encryption processing, with platform software (for example, z/OS Security Server) managing encryption keys. Prior drives require server-based software to encrypt and decrypt tapes.
