ADIC Scalar 10K
Data
Sheet
With its capacity-on-demand scalability, built-in storage network
support, and high-availability architecture, the Scalar 10K brings
the efficiencies of consolidation to your backup.
The Scalar 10K's unique capacity-on-demand scalability lets you
scale your storage capacity more easily and quickly than you can
with any other library. Capacity-on-demand systems ship with extra
capacity that you can activate, in 100-tape increments, using a
software key. You pay only for the capacity you use.
For high-capacity or mixed-media needs, the Scalar 10K offers traditional
library configurations. These maximum capacity models have up to
15,885 tape slots and allow you to combine LTO, SDLT, and AIT technology
in the same chassis.
The Scalar 10K is the first library to offer integrated storage
network support, with certified interoperability that means seamless
operation in new or existing SANs. The system supports multiple
protocols and heterogeneous fabrics at the same time. Integrated
SAN management services, such as serverless backup and data-path
conditioning, provide better backup in storage networks.
The Scalar 10K's high-availability architecture, which includes
true 2N power and dual data paths, is designed to meet the reliability
demands of data consolidation. Features to ensure maximum system
uptime include auto-calibration, self-configuration, and magazine-based
loading of up to 7.9TB (native) at once.

Scalar 10K Capacity-on-Demand Configurations
Scalar 10K capacity-on-demand libraries come with extra capacity
that you can activate in increments of 100 tape slots using
software authorization keys. When most of the capacity of
an installed unit has been activated, ADIC delivers additional
capacity upgrades at no charge.
Capacity-on-demand libraries provide seamless pay-as-you-grow
scalability, from 700 to nearly 5000 tape cartridges and from
1 to 168 drives, without any internal barriers or pass-through
ports.
