THE NEW STANDARD IN MID-RANGE ENTERPRISE-CLASS DLTtape LIBRARIES

The P2000 automated tape library is designed for companies whose data is growing at Internet-speed. With high-availability and scalability options that are unmatched in the industry, the P2000 meets the requirements of data-intensive operations demanded by e-Business, ISPs, ASPs, and dot.com companies. Its flexible design allows attachment in traditional SCSI-based environments with an embedded Fibre Channel option to accomodate enterprise-class Storage Area Networks (SANs).

HIGH AVAILABILITY DESIGN FOR CONTINUOUS ACCESS TO YOUR DATA
The P2000 is the first mid-range tape library with the same high-availability features found in high-end server and RAID systems - features designed to keep the library on-line all the time. The P2000 offers redundant AC power sources, power supplies and fans, and user-replaceable, hot-swap and hot-plug drives, power supplies and fans. In addition, the P2000 includes ATL's reliable IntelliGrip™ precision cartridge handling system used in thousands of ATL libraries.

MASSIVE PERFORMANCE AND CAPACITY FOR DATA-INTENSIVE APPLICATIONS
The P2000 delivers tremendous performance and capacity. A single P2000 library supports up to 10 DLT 7000 drives and up to 198 cartridges for a native data transfer rate of 180 GB per hour and a native capacity of 6.9 TB. In an eight-hour window, a single P2000 can backup 1.4 TB (native). The P2000 can also scale to 52.4 TB of native storage and 1.3 TB per hour performance (native). Add more capacity and performance in the future by upgrading to new drive technology such as DLT 8000, LTO™ Ultrium™ and Super DLTtape™.*

PRISM LIBRARY ARCHITECTURE™ FOR "FUTURE PROOF" STORAGE
ATL's Prism Storage Architecture makes the P2000 "future proof." Harnessing the power of a PCI expansion bus, the P2000 supports the phased implementation of user-installable upgrades such as Fibre Channel adapters, Gigabit net-work adapters and extended function controllers.
