Scalar i2000 tape library
The Scalar® i2000 intelligent enterprise tape library uses its exclusive iPlatform architecture and integral iLayer management software to reduce the time users spend managing backup, cut the need for service calls by 50%, and shorten issue resolution time by 30%.
Scalar i2000 Product Overview
The Scalar i2000 eliminates the need for external library control servers by integrating advanced management functions inside the library, including proactive alerting and remote diagnostics, library partitioning, I/O management, media trend analysis, drive usage reports, and support for SMI-S. The Scalar i2000 uses its I/O blade architecture to offer faster, more reliable operation in SAN environments, and its capacity–on–demand scalability lets users grow their backup system easily from 100 to more than 3,400 tape cartridges in a compact, 19–inch rack–compatible form factor.
