STORAGETEK SL8500 TAPE LIBRARY INFORMATION
The StorageTek SL8500 Modular Library System accommodates scalable growth up to 500 PB native (or 1 exabyte with 2:1 compression), making it an extremely flexible and compact option for intelligent archiving of vital corporate information. The STK SL8500 features RealTime Growth capability, allowing the addition of slots and drives, and the robotics to serve them, while it continues to operate. It is equipped with four or eight robots working in parallel to provide a multi-threaded solution. This reduces queuing, especially during peak work periods. Robots travel one-third to one-half the distance required by other similar libraries, improving cartridge-to-drive performance. Drives, power supplies, library control cards, and robotics are hot swappable. With redundant robotics and an integrated service safety door, the StorageTek SL8500 Modular Library System can continue to operate while a failed robot is replaced.
The STK SL8500 offers a highly flexible solution for partitioning, sharing, and managing. Native physical partitioning requires no extra hardware or software, and up to eight partitions can be created. The StorageTek SL8500 modular library system can be shared across heterogeneous environments, such as Oracle’s Solaris, Linux, AS/400, mainframe, UNIX, and Windows NT environments, so you can easily match the library configuration to your backup requirements.
