Highlights

LTO-3 Modular Tape Library

  • Intelligent, modular library that supports SAN backup and archiving
  • Proactive Monitoring, Partitioning, Setup and Service Wizards illustrate the ML6000's advanced intelligence and self-awareness
  • Modular Expandability gives customers the freedom to scale the library's capacity and performance when and how their storage environments demand it
  • Non-Distruptive Scalabilty uses Capacity-on-Demand to let users efficiently manage their data growth and activate additional cartridge slots through a license key
  • Single, Continuous Robotics are leveraged by each expansion module to enhance the library's reliability
  • Easy to use, colour touch-screen User Interface simplifies administration and operation of the ML6000 family
The PowerVault ML6000 family is a modular tape library with advanced intelligence that allows customers to scale their SAN backup solution as their data grows. The ML6000 family employs features such as Proactive Monitoring to supervise all major subsystem components like tapes, drives, robotics, power supplies and fans to ensure that they are operating properly. Also, the modular yet versatile design of the ML6000 family allows customers to expand their library by placing a 9U expansion module above or below the 5U Control Module. The ML6000 family also uses a single, continuous robotics system to service all drives and media for enhanced reliability.
