1 or 2 DLT Drives
18 Cartridge Positions
Up To 1.44 TB Capacity
Up To 86 GB/Hour Transfer Rate
With an 18-cartridge capacity and one or two DLT™ drives, the Scalar® 218M
is a compact tape library designed to handle the high-performance backup tasks
facing growing data centers. Dual DLTtape™ drives provide double throughput,
concurrent read/write operations, and continuous processing. The high-performance
robotics offer quick, 35-second initialization and 10-second average media
exchange time. The Scalar 218M's 1,000,000 cartridge change rating means high
reliability even in the heaviest use. The integrated barcode reader and media
import/export slot provide advanced media management capability. The Scalar
218M is available in both desktop and rackmount versions.
