Product Description
adic

ADIC¹s Scalar 218FC DLT library is the industry¹s first tape library with a native Fibre Channel interface. It combines the speed and reliability of DLT7000 and DLT8000 drives with the high performance and connectivity of Fibre Channel to provide full support for Storage Area Networks (SANs). With gigabit link speeds over distances up to 500 meters, the Scalar 218FC enables backup strategies not attainable with standard SCSI interface libraries. Available in both desktop and rackmount versions, this high-performance library offers 18-cartridge capacity, 35-second initialization, and 10-second average media exchange times. An integrated barcode reader and media import/export slot offer advanced media management capability.

Features and Benefits
bullet Native Fibre Channel interface for Storage Area Networks improves connectivity and performance, and allows sharing of storage resources
bullet Robotics rated for 1,000,000 cartridge changes means years of trouble-free service, even at high duty cycles
bullet Up to 1.44TB capacity-handles large data backup requirements o Dual DLT drives provide increased backup speeds and built-in redundancy
bullet Front-access import/export slot offers secure cartridge exchange and simplified media management
bullet Integrated barcode reader provides instant media verification and inventory
bullet Desktop or rackmount configuration-the Scalar 218FC fits easily into standard data center environments
bullet One Year On-site Service included for highest levels of protection

Notes:
Capacity and transfer rates assume average 2:1 compression, unless otherwise stated
