In 2006, IBM also announced many innovations in tape storage technology, including the IBM System Storage TS1120 Tape Drive, a first-of-its-kind native encryption technology that delivered the world's first enterprise-class solutions for securing consumer and corporate data privacy; the System Storage 3599, the first tape media in the world to feature 700 GB physical capacity; the System Storage TS7700 Virtualization Engine, a virtual-tape offering designed to improve tape processing while also supporting business continuity through Grid connectivity and automated replication; the IBM System Storage TS3400 Tape Library, the world's first tape library solution offering enterprise-class tape drive based encryption capabilities at an affordable price point for midrange corporations and enterprise workgroups; and a world record in data density on linear magnetic tape.
Additionally, in March of 2007, at CeBIT, the iF International Forum Design awarded IBM eight product design awards for superior storage products and solutions, including the IBM System Storage TS3400 Tape Library, and the IBM System Storage TS3310 Tape Library, which was honored with the "Gold" award.
