Autoloaders and tape for archiving
Nonstop data protection
Often underestimated—always valued: autoloaders & tape
Magnetic tape remains an extraordinarily durable backup medium, and we stock the complete LTO range.
LTO autoloaders and tape libraries are particularly advisable wherever massive enterprise-data capacity is required. An integrated changer allows sequential writing to and reading from multiple cartridges—depending on the autoloader’s size—while the backup software handles the process automatically. Because tapes are both exceptionally inexpensive and long-lived, they enable highly cost-efficient storage of large data sets.
Mit dem NS372S erhalten Sie ein platzsparendes und vielseitiges SAS-LTO-Rackmount-Enclosure. In das 1HE-Gehäuse des NS372S lassen sich bis zu zwei SAS-Laufwerke der führenden LTO-Hersteller einsetzen. Anschluss finden die LTO-Bandlaufwerke per SFF-8482 Schnittstelle mit 6 Gbit/s. Damit ermöglicht es Nutzern von Mac-Servern mit eingebauten Hostbusadaptern per LTO-LaufwerkDaten direkt auf Band zu sichern.
LTO Library Q24 from Qualstar's Midrange offers superior performance in backup, recovery and archiving applications. Compact but feature rich, it delivers large capacities and high data throughput.
The library can be equipped with one or two of the latest LTO drives. The 2U chassis of the Q24 - for example, equipped with LTO9 drive - reaches capacities of up to 432 terabytes (native) or 1080 terabytes (compressed).
The Q24 is easy to install and maintain. For example, the administrator can replace all major components - such as the tape drive, power supply and controller board - on-site using standard tools. In the integrated control panel, he has access to intuitive, menu-driven controls. This functionality is also available via the integrated browser-based Remote Management Interface (RMI).
The Q40 system offers capacity scaling from 40 to 280 cartridge slots and throughput scaling from one to 21 tape drives. The Q40 uses LTO-7, LTO-8 or LTO-9 tape drives with SAS or FC interfaces.
The Q40 library base module provides up to 720 TB (LTO-9 native) or up to 1.8 PB (LTO-9 compressed) of storage capacity. Connected with up to six additional expansion modules, a single library system achieves up to 12.6 PB (LTO-9 compressed) of storage capacity in a 21U rack.
The Q40 is easy to operate and maintain. For example, the administrator can replace all major components - such as the tape drive, power supply and controller board - on-site using standard tools. In the integrated control panel, he has access to intuitive, menu-driven controls. This functionality is also available via the integrated browser-based Remote Management Interface (RMI).
LTO-Library Q8 aus der Einstiegsklasse von Qualstar bietet eine überragende Leistung bei Sicherungs-, Wiederherstellungs- und Archivierungsanwendungen. Kompakt und doch mit vielen Funktionen ausgestattet, liefert sie große Kapazitäten und einen hohen Datendurchsatz zu einem kosteneffektiven Preissegment.
Die Library kann mit der jeweils aktuellen LTO-Technologie ausgerüstet werden und ist zumindest mit einer weiteren Generation kompatibel. Das 1HE-Gehäuse der Q8 erreicht – beispielsweise mit LTO9-Laufwerk bestückt – Kapazitäten von bis zu 144 Terabyte (nativ) oder 360 Terabyte (komprimiert).
Die Q8 ist auf Zuverlässigkeit und einfache Handhabung ausgelegt. Sie lässt sich daher einfach installieren und warten. So kann der Administrator vor Ort alle wichtigen Komponenten – wie etwa Bandlaufwerk, Netzteil und Controller-Board – mit Standardwerkzeugen austauschen. Im integrierten Bedienfeld hat er Zugriff auf eine intuitive und menügeführte Steuerung. Diese Funktionalität ist auch über das integrierte browserbasierte Remote Management Interface (RMI) möglich.
The Q80 base unit can be connected with up to six expansion modules to create a library system with up to 25.2 PB (compressed) of storage capacity in a single 42U rack. These modular expansions give your Q80 system - along with your businesses - room to grow. You can increase cartridge capacity from 80 slots to 560 slots and boost throughput by adding more tape drives (maximum 42).
Even if you use multiple stacked library modules, the Q80 uses a single robot to service all drives and media, maximizing cost efficiency. The user control panel features an intuitive GUI and setup wizards to easily configure and operate the system. An integrated browser-based Remote Management Interface (RMI) allows administrators to remotely configure, manage, diagnose and diagnose the library from anywhere in the world.
