StorageTekT TimberWolf® 9730 tape library

 

The StorageTekT TimberWolf® 9730 tape library is a compact, entry-level SCSI-based, desktop or rack-mountable DLT library for Windows NT and Unix users with distributed data.

  • Continuously available. Constantly monitors drive status for automatic error detection and recovery. Spontaneously resumes normal operations after a power failure. Uses self-calibration and requires no scheduled maintenance.
  • Flexible and scalable. Configure with one or two DLT drives and 18 cells; or three or four DLT drives and up to 30 cells.
  • Advanced rotational robotics. Accurate, high-speed rotational robotics enable fast cartridge exchanges, high-cartridge volume and easy access.
  • Keen vision system. Camera-based vision system has no moving parts and is more accurate than standard bar code readers.
  • Easily integrated. The library integrates with UNIX, Windows NT and Novell NetWare. Works well with all hardware, making the platform transparent to users.
  • Small footprint. Store up to 2.1 TB (compressed) of information in a workstation-size unit.
