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
|
Native Fibre Channel interface for Storage Area Networks improves connectivity
and performance, and allows sharing of storage resources |
|
Robotics rated for 1,000,000 cartridge changes means years of trouble-free service,
even at high duty cycles |
|
Up to 1.44TB capacity-handles large data backup requirements o Dual DLT drives provide
increased backup speeds and built-in redundancy |
|
Front-access import/export slot offers secure cartridge exchange and simplified
media management |
|
Integrated barcode reader provides instant media verification and inventory |
|
Desktop or rackmount configuration-the Scalar 218FC fits easily into standard
data center environments |
|
One Year On-site Service included for highest levels of protection |
Notes:
Capacity and transfer rates assume average 2:1 compression, unless otherwise stated
