TLS-4000 Series Automated Tape Libraries and Exabyte's
M2 drive technology
TLS-4000 Series Automated Tape Libraries and Exabyte's M2
drive technology provide high performance, capacity and value for all storage
management requirements, including the latest SAN-based serverless backup, and
LAN-free backup applications.
Twelve TLS-4000 Tape Library models provide scalable capacities from 720
gigabytes up to 90 terabytes. Advanced design utilizes proven robotic
technologies for extremely reliable operation and years of trouble-free
service. The TLS-Series combines small footprints and powerful menu-driven
command and control functions for easy integration and very low
cost-per-megabyte.
The TLS-Series is now recognized as an exceptional tape library design.
Designed for years of dependable operation, the latest models use the same
unique leadscrew-based mechanism that established a reputation for outstanding
reliability; and the same advanced servo controls for precise positioning and
flawless media handling.
All TLS-Series tape libraries support barcode scanning for efficient media
control. Filtered, positive air pressure is maintained throughout the cabinets
to eliminate airborne contamination for longer tape and head life. I/O Ports
support lights-out operations, enabling complete application control of media
inventories. Field upgrade kits are available to double the capacity of
several models.
Complimenting the TLS-Series, M2 tape drives store 60 gigabytes per tape
and read/write at 12 MB/second (NATIVE), providing storage density and
performance to meet the most demanding data management and data protection
requirements. Better by design, TLS + M2 technology offers enterprise managers
the performance, capacity, and features needed to meet burgeoning storage
needs now and for years to come.
