ADIC Scalar 100

Rack-optimized, mid-range library with enterprise-class features.

The Scalar 100 is a mid-range library that offers a powerful combination of industry-leading density, trouble-free scalability, and advanced storage networking technology.

This capacity-packed system is the first tape library to deliver a storage density of 2TB¹ per rack unit. In fact, a standard rack cabinet can hold three Scalar 100s, giving you over 86TBs of capacity in a very compact space.

Highly scalable, the Scalar 100 can grow from 15 to 96 tapes and from 1 to 8 drives. Adding capacity is easy. Upgrades take less than 10 minutes and don't require changing your rack system or adding external elevators or pass-through ports.

The Scalar 100's storage networking options enable iSCSI or Fibre Channel (FC) connectivity for today's backup consolidation needs. An FC option provides intelligent features to improve SAN backup performance and reliability. An iSCSI option provides an easy-to-implement connectivity choice that lets servers share a single library over standard ethernet.

The Scalar 100 supports LTO, SDLT/DLT, or AIT technology.

Features and Benefits

• Industry-leading density: stores up to 28.8TB in only 14 rack units
• Economical scalability: scales from 1 to 8 drives and from 15 to 96 cartridges-all within the same unit
• Space-efficient: compact size maximizes limited server room real estate
• Choice of easy-to-implement iSCSI or full FC connectivity option
• Easy growth: expansion within minutes-and without pass-through ports
• Proven connectivity: storage network interoperability means seamless integration into new or existing SANs
• Reliability: built-in diagnostics, redundant power supplies, and a 1,000,000 cartridge-change rating
• Responsive service: one-year on-site service provided by ADIC technical Assistance Center (ATAC) with 24-hour, worldwide service and support

¹Assumes 2:1 average compression for LTO and SDLT/DLT; 2.6:1 average compression for AIT.

ADIC Scalar i2000

The next generation data center library that delivers more but demands less.

You're asking your staff to get more done with less these days; shouldn't you expect the same from your systems, too? Whether you're upgrading to a SAN for the first time or consolidating a collection of data centers, the ADIC Scalar i2000 meets the unique challenges of SAN backup and improves your capabilities while reducing the resources needed to manage backup operations. The embedded intelligence of the Scalar i2000's unique iPlatform architecture enhances performance and reliability through a single management view that includes library, drives, and connectivity through the fabric. Data-path readiness checks, drive performance optimization, and connectivity failover work together to keep your backup running.

Scale your system to meet today's budgets while easily adding capacity down the road with the industry's most advanced scalability architecture - capacity-on-demand. Throughout, the Scalar i2000 meets the demands of today's data centers, with native mixed-media support (LTO & SDLT), industry-leading density, rack-compatible form factor, and RAS features that include dual-redundant power, non-disruptive drive, power, and fan exchanges, and component-level fault isolation for faster, easier service.
