Product Description
adic

The AML/2 is the industry's premier solution for large data system storage. It offers the industry's largest capacity, scaling to support hundreds of drives, more than 76,000 pieces of media, and as much as 5,000TB of data (native). The library grows simply by adding new, barrier-free modules.

For true mission-critical applications, the AML/2 offers the only large-scale library in which every piece of media can be accessed by two fully-redundant robotics systems to ensure maximum continuous data availability.

The AML/2 supports more than a dozen media types. The AML/2's barrier-free scalability and mixed-media support make it the preferred choice for a wide range of data management tasks, including:

  • Backup and Restore
  • Nearline and HSM
  • Digital Asset Management
  • Archiving
  • Digital Broadcasting
  • Data Acquisition

The AML/2 features a multi-host architecture that lets the library share data across all of your network applications and architectures, including Storage Area Networks. It also supports partitioning of the library's storage into user-defined virtual libraries.

Features and Benefits

  • Industry's largest capacity data storage library—the only one with fully redundant robotics for continuous data availability
  • Industry-leading density, with more than 6,500GB per square foot
  • Protects your investment by supporting simultaneous use of different media and drive types and providing an easy migration path to new technologies
  • Scales with your data growth using unique barrier-free expansion to eliminate all pass-through ports
  • Multi-host architecture makes it easy to share the library between different applications and operating systems
  • Provides for automated data and media management and allows easy remote monitoring and operation.
  • Supported by one of the industry's premier global networks of integration, logistics, and field support experts


AML/2 expansion
The AML/2 holds up to 5,184TB and 400 drives, handles a mixture of drive and media types, scales without pass-through ports, and offers the industry's only fully redundant robotics option.

Library Configurations and Capacity

AML/2 libraries grow with your data through a barrier-free expansion system that adds capacity and drives without using pass-through ports. Media is stored in QuadroTowers, offered in three different heights, which can be added to the library to accommodate growing data management demands. Drives are housed in up to 54 separate drive cabinets attached to the library. The AML/2 robotics support concurrent operation of multiple media types and can be easily upgraded in the field to add new drive and media technology. An optional second robotics system, which can access all the media in the library, provides full redundancy.
