L700/e Tape Library

L700e      For more information :

Overview

The StorageTek L700e tape library is an evolutionary step above and beyond the already successful StorageTek L700 tape library. Designed for the large, distributed open systems implementations in UNIX and Windows NT environments, the L700e allows for connecting two L700e's together to provide an increase in storage capacity as your business grows. The two L700e's are connected together with a unique Pass Through Port (PTP), expanding beyond the current 678 cartridge slot capacity to 1344 cartridge slots - nearly doubling your overall capacity.

Key Benefits

  • The right technology for the right application.
    Adaptive media technology supports up to 12 StorageTek high-performance T9840 and/or high-capacity T9940 tape drives or up to 20 DLT, SDLT or LTO Ultrium tape drives. Or mix any of these drives in different combinations. Performance - up to 2.592 TB/hr. Storage - up to 268.8 TB.

  • Efficient Library Management. Powerful software solutions such as ACSLS or Library Manager provide for library control and management.

  • Simplify and centralize administration. Intelligent software monitors and collects library statistics. Streamlined management optimizes space, increases availability and boosts e-business performance. Access and monitor information remotely using a standard web-based browser.

  • Operate round-the-clock. Tape drives, fans and power supplies are hot-swapped (replaced without shutting down the system). Uninterruptible and Redundant Power Supplies are also available. No routine maintenance is required - ever.

  • Localize network components. Integrated standard 19" rack space to mount auxiliary systems: router, hub, switch, UPS, etc.

  • Accelerate the exchange rate. The L700e's Advanced 4D Robotics™ and Digital Vision System, the most reliable and adaptable system available providing the most exchanges per hour.
