L180 tape library |
With up to 174 slots
and 34.8 terabytes of native capacity, the StorageTek®
L180 tape library is ideal for mid-size and larger
distributed, Open Systems, UNIX and Windows NT
environments. This automated tape library features a
high-speed native two gigabit Fibre Channel interface
for faster data sharing and use in storage area
networks.

Disaster
recovery
The L180 library is an integral part of disaster
recovery processes that remotely vault data in
tape form. Tapes can be physically transported
to a remote site or created electronically with
an L180 library at the remote location.
Fixed
content distribution
The L180 library can act as a high-volume source
for fixed content data, especially when
outfitted with fast-access T9840 tape drives.
High-speed fixed content distribution systems
can utilize the L180 library in a disk-and-tape
storage environment controlled by StorageTek®
Application Storage Manager® (ASM) software to
reduce costs without impacting performance.
Archiving
The L180 library is an efficient, high-capacity
repository for archival data. It can be combined
with disk systems and ASM software to provide a
tiered archival system with performance and
capacity customized to the archiving needs of
the application.
Backup
and restore
The L180 library, configured with tape drives
and tape media, provides backup and recovery for
for mid-size and larger distributed, Open
Systems, UNIX and Windows NT environments.
Backup and restore can be consolidated from
multiple smaller systems to reduce costs and
simplify management. |
|
|
| |
Increased
reliability
For higher uptime, tape drives, fans, power
supplies are hot-swappable. Uninterrupted and
redundant power supplies are available. No
routine maintenance is required.
Faster
backup, restore, archiving
With throughput rates as high as 1.26 terabytes
per hour, the L180 library gives you the speed
you need to accelerate backup, restore and
archiving.
Investment protection
The L180 library’s Open Systems compatibility
gives you a solution that will work now and in
the future. This library is a long-term business
asset.
Easy
management
Intelligent software monitors and collects
library statistics. Web-based access allows easy
remote monitoring. Streamlined management
optimizes your use of space and increases
availability. |
|
|
| |
|
Mixed-media support
Support of concurrent multiple tape drive
technologies let you put the right data on the
right device at the right cost. Tape drive
technologies include: StorageTek T9840, and
T9940, LTO Ultrium
Generations 1 and 2, SDLT, DLT.
SAN-readiness
A SAN-ready solution, the L180 library provides
two-gigabit Fibre Channel connectivity and
support for dynamic world wide naming (dWWN) for
the library and Fibre Channel drives.
4D
robotics, digital vision system
To keep information moving, the fast 4D robotics
and digital vision system let all applications
read and write simultaneously, with more than
450 cartridge exchanges per hour.
Fibre,
Ultra SCSI interfaces
The L180 library’s native Fibre Channel and
Ultra SCSI interfaces provide the right access,
no matter what the job. |
