Quantum enhances its Scalar i6000 tape library

Quantum has announced significant new enhancements to the Scalar i6000 tape library, doubling drive density to provide the most compact LTO storage footprint in the enterprise market, adding unique RESTful web services management capabilities and offering 80 PLUS certified power supplies for the most efficient power usage available. These enhancements are the latest in a long line of innovations since the library’s introduction, resulting in the most feature-rich and technically advanced enterprise tape library available for today’s most demanding tiered storage workflows.

This complements the library’s High Density Expansion Modules, resulting in systems with the best overall LTO storage density in the market. In addition, the Scalar i6000’s unique modular architecture provides high density without sacrificing performance. Users seeking extreme performance in a small footprint – such as those backing up large databases in a small window – can configure the Scalar i6000 to maximize the number of drives...Read more
