The Tape Array 5 is a 19-inch rackmount DLTtape storage system
providing the industry's highest density fault tolerant backup.
With up to five hot swappable DLT drives, and dual redundant
fans and power supplies, it is designed for the most demanding
high reliability data storage needs, including large databases,
digital video, and pre-press applications. The Tape Array
5 provides up to 43GB per hour throughput per drive and up
to 80 GB per cartridge. When combined with compatible RAID
software packages, the Tape Array 5 provides multiple RAIT/RAID
options, including Levels 0, 1, 3, and 5. Features
and Benefits
- Up to 5 DLT drives in 5u of rack space
provides industry leading fault tolerant backup
- 400GB of storage handles even large
data applications
- Up to 216GB per hour throughput -for
fast data protection
- Dual, redundant power supplies and fans
mean highly reliable backup storage
- Hot swappable drives provide redundancy
and user upgradability
- 5 SCSI interfaces provide flexibility
and allow unit to be configured for maximum performance.
- Compatible with standard RAID software
for fault tolerance and high-speed data transfer rates.
