Spectra 2000 Treefrog - Automated Tape Library
Designed for AIT Technology
Product Overview:
Based on the Sony AIT family of
8mm tape units, which offer up to 260GB at 31.2 MB/sec per drive, the AIT TreeFrog series offers up to 3.9 Terabytes of storage in a compact table-top or rack mountable unit.
Starting with 15 tape slots and 1 AIT-3 260GB drive, the units are field expandable up to 30 tape slots and 2 AIT-3 drives for a total capacity of nearly 8 TeraBytes.
The most exciting feature of these libraries is the Virtual Control Panel. The Virtual Control Panel allows administrators to issue robotic and drive diagnostics, move tapes, upgrade a library’s
firmware, or even view Application Notes on the Spectra Logic Support Web Site.
Accessible via an internet-browser interface, the Virtual Control Panel provides remote administration of the TreeFrog library from any location.
Spectra 2000 Library Features
Treefrog® architecture
The Spectra 2000 tape library uses TreeFrog architecture for robotic tape libraries
developed by Spectra Logic. TreeFrog architecture supports SCSI-2 (Single-ended, HVD and LVD),
Fibre Channel, 100 BaseT and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
The cornerstones of the TreeFrog architecture are the integrated picker and the uni-body robotic chassis.
Scalability
The Spectra 2000 library can be configured with 15 or 30 cartridges and one or two AIT
drives.
To further protect your initial investment, the Spectra 2000 library supports multiple
generations of AIT technology, up to AIT-4*, which will provide 520 GB per cartridge at 62.4 MB per second.
Virtual Control Panel
Spectra Logic’s Virtual Control Panel uses Java and HTML technologies to provide status,
diagnostics and remote device management capabilities.
Accessible via an Internet browser interface, the Virtual Control Panel allows administrators to
initiate robotic and drive diagnostics, move tapes, upgrade a library’s firmware or even view
Application Notes from Spectra Logic’s support website.
