Applications

Backup and restore
The L80 library, configured with tape drives and tape media, provides backup and recovery for departments, applications and small data center environments using Windows, Novell, Linux and UNIX operating systems.

Disaster recovery
L80 library backup tapes can be stored offsite, providing low-cost disaster protection in distributed Windows, Novell, Linux and UNIX environments.

 

Benefits

Easy expandability
As your needs grow, you can easily add drives or cartridges, advance to new drive technologies or swap to a larger library at a reduced price.

Space, cost savings
With up to 16 terabytes of capacity in a single unit, the L80 library lets you store more data in less physical rack space, saving you both space and money.

Enhanced data protection
With its unmatched reliability and hands-free automation, the L80 library helps you keep Open Systems data protected and available.

Ease of use
Any administrator can install, configure and operate the L80 library. Remote monitoring and diagnostic tools simplify management.

 

Features

Any Cartridge Any Slot™ technology
Support for multiple tape drive technologies lets you mix and match tape technologies and migrate data seamlessly within the same library. The L80 library supports LTO Ultrium Generations 1 and 2, SDLT 220, SDLT 320 and DLT 8000.
 

Library Status Tool
This tool’s Web-based remote diagnostic capabilities help you reduce operational costs and enhance reliability.

SNMP trap
An embedded SNMP agent facilitates network management and notification over an Ethernet connection.

SAN-readiness
An embedded Fibre Channel router enables you to connect the L80 library to a storage area network for increased scalability, availability and share-ability.
