Data
protection and archiving
The StreamLine SL8500 modular library system
meets enterprise requirements for backup and
archiving in Open Systems and mainframe
environments. Its fast robotics can handle
unpredictable peak workloads. And it provides
the ability to add slots and drives to increase
capacity and throughput rates without
interrupting operations.
Backup
consolidation
The StreamLine SL8500 modular library system is
ideal for consolidating data from backup
operations. Seamless heterogeneous attachment
and support for mixed media gives you the
ability to share the library across servers,
applications and media types without requiring
partition management. |
|
|
| |
Consolidate data
With its extreme scalability, support for mixed
media and diverse operating environments, the
StreamLine SL8500 modular library system is
ideal for the consolidation of many smaller
libraries.
Increase throughput
High-performance robotics enable the library
system to keep pace with the unpredictable peak
workloads, as well as future demands for higher
throughput as data continues to grow rapidly.
Grow
with ease
The StreamLine SL8500 library system scales from
2,048 useable slots and 64 drives to more than
300,000 slots and 1,984 drives to accommodate
years of growth in your storage environment.
Save
space
With extremely high slot density, the StreamLine
SL8500 modular library system makes maximum use
of the floor space in your data center. |
|
|
| |
|
Mixed-drive support
The StreamLine SL8500 modular library system
supports StorageTek T9840 and T9940 tape drives
as well as mid-range LTO Ultrium, and SDLT.
Compatibility
The StreamLine SL8500 modular library system
attaches to mainframe, supercomputer, UNIX,
Linux and Windows environments and can be shared
across different backup applications.
Expandability
The library system can be upgraded with future
drive types and more cartridge slots to increase
capacity during operation, with no system
downtime.
High
availability
The sophisticated new StreamLine architecture
offers hot-swappable and fully redundant
components, including multiple robots, to keep
your library up and running. For even higher
availability, you can add additional redundant
components.
Remote
management
The library system can be managed and monitored
via a remote, network-based operator panel or an
optional local touch-screen operator panel.
Professional Services
StorageTek Global Services offer assessment,
design, implementation and migration services.
StorageTek services and StorageTek-certified
partners can provide training and support
services. |
