Automated Storage Tape Library

ADIC (Advanced Digital Information Corporation)lar 100 automated storage tape library, initially available for DLTtape drives and media, is designed to easily support other media types, to provide SCSI and Fibre Channel connectivity options, and to convert for use as a NAS appliance

The Scalar 100 models shipping today support up to six DLT tape drives and up to 60 tape cartridge positions in only 14 units of standard rack space (less than 25 vertical inches). This gives the Scalar 100 the highest density tape storage in the industry -- 50% greater than previous DLT libraries -- allowing IT departments to conserve expensive data center space. The Scalar 100 also offers easy field scalability to lower start-up costs and reduce expensive infrastructure redeployments. It allows customers to begin with a low drive and media count, adding additional drive and media positions incrementally as data grows.

For remote monitoring and operation, the Scalar 100 will feature ADIC's new web-enabled management tool, a user-installable integrated web server that gives remote users the same level of management that they have from the library keypad, including drive and library firmware downloads, pass/fail testing, and single-event operation.

The Scalar 100 is also designed to provide continual data availability through extended very high duty cycle operation. It is rated for a million tape changes between failures (MCBF), its tape drives are hot-swappable, and it offers optional hot-swappable, redundant power supplies.
