Quantum M1500

The ATL M1500 provides modular scalability for companies that need a backup solution that can grow and change as their data grows and backup requirements change.  Developed with flexibility in mind, the ATL M1500 can be "right-sized," from both a performance and capacity point of view, to fit the needs of the most passive or aggressive backup solutions. The scalability of the ATL M-Series (both ATL M1500 and ATL M2500) is unrivaled in that the library doesn't have to be rebuilt, shipped to the manufacturer or taken off-line in order to add modules.  The ATL M-Series libraries also boast the greatest density per rack space in this class of tape library leaving valuable rack space "available" in the datacenter for other IT infrastructure.

Features

  • Base-library configurable from zero to two drives and 25 cartridge slots
  • Scalable via StackLink from one to 20 drives (up to 1.2TB/hour native performance) and up to 250 cartridge slots (40TB native capacity) all "seen" by the backup software package as a single library
  • Supports DLT 8000, SDLT 220, SDLT 320 and LTOTM UltriumTM tape drives
  • Barcode reader standard
  • Data cartridges in removable magazines providing 100% bulk loading and unloading
  • Intuitive GUI control panel
  • SCSI standard with a native fibre library option
  • Optional remote monitoring, management and SNMP agent (MC300 option)
  • Optional redundant power supplies
  • Intermixable scalability with the ATL M2500
  • Add, remove and replace modules in a StackLinked configuration while modules stay on-line (pass-thru independent of individual modules)
  • Driveless configuration available for "capacity-only" scalability
  • Available in stand-alone (non-rackmountable, desktop) configuration
