As data volumes continue to grow, backup windows continue to shrink…so most storage libraries in midrange backup environments quickly hit their capacity and performance limits. The StorageTek® StreamLine™ SL500 modular library system addresses these challenges with the most scalable, rack-mounted tape automation solution in the market today. You can start with a cost-effective configuration that meets your current backup requirements, and add modules as necessary without increasing administrative complexity or reducing reliability.
The modular, flexible SL500 library scales from 30 LTO cartridge slots up to 577 LTO slots with a capacity of more than 100 terabytes of uncompressed data. It accommodates up to 18 tape drives with an uncompressed data throughput of more than two terabytes per hour. This gives you the performance you need for the shrinking backup windows in your high-availability environments. The expandable drive capacity and use of the latest LTO and SDLT technology are also ideal for critical server applications with fast data growth rates such as e-mail servers, database applications and enterprise file servers.
The SL500 library expands to higher slot count and drive counts using the same robotics and library automation architecture. You can add capacity with simple library upgrades, extending the useful life of the equipment and preserving your investment. In addition, with standard interfaces and StorageTek's library control software you can easily share resources by connecting to other devices across multiple Windows or UNIX environments.
The StreamLine SL500 modular library system grows dynamically in capacity and performance without decreasing reliability to meet changing requirements in your data center.
The enhanced remote management software enables you to manage the library almost anywhere in the world.
The rack-mountable approach and dense cartridge slot design make the SL500 library a good fit in environments where space is at a premium. You can configure a standalone tape automation rack or combine the SL500 library in a rack with servers and disk storage arrays.
