For enterprises around the world, data is growing exponentially while IT budgets are tight. To calm the chaos brought by these dual challenges, organizations need to identify new ways to manage data growth without adding IT resources.
The answer is the StreamLine™ SL8500 modular library system. It makes enterprise tapes easier to manage, share and grow. |
BENEFITS |
|
CONSOLIDATE
With its extreme scalability, support for mixed media and diverse operating environments, the SL8500 modular library system is ideal for the consolidation of many smaller libraries.
INCREASE THROUGHPUT
High-performance robotics enable the library system to keep pace with the unpredictable peak workloads, as well as future demands for higher throughput as data continues to grow rapidly.
GROW WITH EASE
The SL8500 library system scales from 1,448 to 6,500 useable slots and from 4 to 64 drives per frame to accommodate years of growth in your storage environment. Addition of frames allows to grow up to 300 000 slots and 2048 drives
SAVE SPACE
With extremely high slot density, the SL8500 library system makes maximum use of the floor space in your data center. |
STANDARD FEATURES |
|
MIXED-DRIVE SUPPORT
The SL8500 library system supports StorageTek 9840 and 9940 tape drives as well as SDLT and LTO Ultrium . Drive conversion lits exist to allow the reconnection of drives from other StorageTek libraries.
SHARE RESOURCES
The SL8500 library system attaches to GCOS 8 and open environments. It can be shared across different backup applications.
HIGH AVAILABILITY
The sophisticated StreamLine architecture offers hot-swappable and fully redundant components, including multiple robots¹, to keep your library up and running. For even higher availability, you can add additional redundant components.
REMOTE MANAGEMENT
The library system can be managed and monitored via a remote, network-based operator panel or an optional local touch-screen operator panel. |
