Quantum Tech Brief Sample

The Scalar libraries with the iLayer software have a more advanced physical architecture than conventional libraries, offering internal server-class controllers, sensors, internal communication busses, and external network interfaces. This physical architecture allows the libraries to integrate Quantum’s library management software tools—the iLayer.

The Quantum iLayer management approach is available in two library platforms which meet a broad range of backup needs, from workgroups to large enterprise data centers. The Scalar i500 is designed for midrange storage environments. It is a rack-mountable library that scales from 2 drives and 41 tape storage positions up to 18 drives and 407 pieces of media. The Scalar i2000 is an enterprise library that scales up to 96 drives and 3,492 tape storage slots. Both library platforms offer easy, modular growth, and they both supply users with the performance, reliability and value of a single, continuous robotics system.
