TLS-4000
Series Tape Libraries combined with
Advanced Intelligent Tape (AIT) tape
drives provide unsurpassed performance,
capacity and value for all unattended
backup requirements. Developed by Sony,
AIT has been adopted by OEMs and
integrators worldwide for distributed
database backup and archive, and video and
image storage applications.
Twelve
TLS-Series models provide scalable
capacities from 400 gigabytes to over 156
terabytes. Advanced design utilizes proven
robotic technologies for extremely
reliable operation and years of
trouble-free service. The TLS-Series
incorporates small footprints and powerful
menu-driven command and control functions
for easy integration and very low
cost-per-megabyte.
The TLS-4000 Series is now recognized as
an exceptional tape library design.
Designed for years of dependable
operation, the latest models use the same
unique leadscrew-based mechanism that
established its reputation for outstanding
reliability, and the same advanced servo
controls for precise positioning and
flawless media handling.
All
TLS-Series libraries are available with Q-Link
, Qualstar’s web browser
accessed remote library manager that
enables administrators to configure,
upgrade, and monitor any TLS-Series tape
library via a company intranet or over the
internet from anywhere in the world.
Q-Link extends the library’s
comprehensive front panel menu system and
adds additional functionality such as
automatic e-mail notification based on
rules set by the administrator, and
firmware updates can be implemented
remotely.
Developed
for the RLS-Series libraries, VIOP
is now incorporated in every TLS model. An
exclusive Qualstar design feature, VIOP,
Variable I/O Port, allows users to match
the number of I/O slots to their
operational requirements. Applications are
not constrained by limits imposed by
libraries with a fixed number of I/O
slots. Users can assign the number of
slots to best match their requirements.
VIOP compliments the hardware I/O Ports
which continue to be included or available
in all models.
Logical
Library is built into every TLS-Series
library. It allows up to four servers to
share a single library, even if each
server is running a separate application.
Systems that you couldn’t afford to
upgrade can now be protected
automatically. The SANSmart
Fibre Channel Option supports
LAN-free and serverless backup using the
latest 2 Gigabit SAN technologies. Support
for multiple SCSI busses is also built-in
to maximize throughput in direct-attach
architectures.
The
TLS-4000 family now supports WORM (write
once, read many) tape technology in every
model. WORM data protection has long been
the standard for document imaging
applications where unalterable records are
required. New federal government
regulations make WORM tape equipped
libraries the clear choice for low-cost
financial record keeping, medical record
storage and other applications requiring
long term, secure archival retention.
All
TLS-Series tape libraries support barcode
scanning for efficient media control.
Filtered, positive air pressure is
maintained throughout the libraries to
eliminate airborne contamination for
longer tape and head life. Field upgrade
kits are available to double the capacity
of several models.
Complimenting
the TLS-Series, AIT continues to lead the
industry in tape technology. AIT-3 is now
the leader in the mid-range tape market,
storing 100 gigabytes (native) per tape at
12 MB/second. Sony recently announced
extensions to the AIT roadmap through
AIT-6, assuring that it will keep pace
with exploding storage requirements.
Better by
design, TLS + AIT offers enterprise
managers the performance, capacity, and
features needed to meet burgeoning storage
needs now and for years to come.
