L5500 tape library |
The largest of the
StorageTek® series of Open Systems tape libraries, the
L5500 library can scale to 16.8 petabytes of capacity
and up to 132,000 slots. This enormous capacity makes
the L5500 library an ideal solution for consolidating
Open Systems backup and restore and eliminating the
management burdens that come with maintaining multiple
smaller storage systems.

Backup
and restore
The L5500 library’s enormous capacity makes it
ideal for consolidating Open Systems backup and
restore across a data center or an enterprise.
Consolidating backup and restore to a single
library reduces costs, simplifies management and
improves reliability of backup and restore
processes.
Disaster recovery
The L5500 library is an integral part of
site-wide disaster recovery processes that
remotely vault data in tape form. Tapes can be
physically transported to a remote site, created
electronically with an L5500 library at the
remote location, or created simultaneously at
both locations.
Fixed
content distribution
The L5500 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 L5500 library in a disk-and-tape
storage environment controlled by StorageTek®
Application Storage Manager® (ASM) software to
reduce costs without impacting performance
Archiving
The L5500 library is an efficient, high-capacity
repository for archival data. It can be combined
with disk systems and Application Storage
Manager (ASM) software to provide a tiered
archival system with performance and capacity
customized to the archiving needs of the
application. |
|
|
| |
Easier
management
Scalability to 132,000 slots and 960 drives
allows you to consolidate data in a single,
easy-to-manage library, easing the strain on
your IT resources.
Enterprise-class reliability
The L5500 library is based on StorageTek’s
proven PowderHorn™ 9310 tape library and its
superior robotics’ extreme reliability.
Faster
throughput
With data throughput speeds up to 103.7
terabytes per hour, the L5500 tape library
delivers the performance you need to respond to
shrinking backup windows and increase data
availability.
Seamless library sharing
StorageTek ACSLS Manager™ software provides
seamless connectivity for libraries attached to
multiple hosts running different tape management
applications simultaneously. |
|
|
| |
|
Mixed-drive support
Fibre Channel, SCSI and ESCON connectivity
allows mixed drives and drive interfaces,
including LTO Ultrium and the StorageTek T9840
and T9940 tape drives, so you can use the right
drive for the application.
ACSLS
Manager software
StorageTek ACSLS Manager software is compatible
with Legato, Hewlett-Packard, Computer
Associates, VERITAS and other backup
applications, so you can share libraries and
maximize asset utilization.
SAN-readiness
With ACSLS Manager software’s full support for
simultaneous sharing across heterogeneous
servers and ISV software, the L5500 library is
ideal for SAN implementations.
Digital vision system
A unique digital vision system performs
continuous calibration and reads bar codes. |
