Quantum Tape Library i40/i80


Quantum Tape Library i40/i80 Comparison with other Tape Library.

 



 

And please find the some of the Problem which Tape admin faces and their solution via Installing Quantum Tape Solutions.

 

Some Common challenges and their Solution via Quantum tape Libraries.

 

1. The amount of data we have to protect is growing we don’t know how much capacity will be needed in 3 year.

Sol: The Scalar i40/i80 products provide market leading investment protection with Capacity-on-Demand (COD) scalability – this allows you to simply expand your capacity 60% through a software license – there is no hardware to purchase or install, saving you time and money.

Quantum tape library in i40 gives you first 25 slots and then with COD license you can grow to 40 slots, no need to buy new hardware.

 

2. We do not have large technical staff- we cannot afford to spend time on managing a complex automation product.

Sol: The Scalar i40/i80 simplifies everything from initial setup and on-going management to adding capacity over time. With over 30,000 iLayer libraries shipped, the iLayer management software has shown to reduce management time by over 50% in most instances.

Quantum iLayer Management software reduces the Management time by over 50%

 

3. We do not have technical staff onsite- how do we simply swap the correct tapes for offsite disaster recovery protection with our non-technical resources?

Sol: The Scalar i40/i80 has large import/export (I/E) slots to simplify the exchange of media for offsite disaster recovery. Administrative personnel can simply replace tapes placed in the  I/E slot for offsite storage, without complicated commands and without access to the internal library tapes – ensuring only the correct tapes are removed and the backup operations continue without interference.

Quantum i40 have 5 I/E slots which will help you to exchange of media for offsite disaster recovery.

 

4. We spend too much time dealing with failed backup jobs- what’s available to reduce this issue for us.

Sol: The iLayer feature in Scalar i40/i80 proactively monitors events inside the library and sends email alerts to assigned personnel and/or Quantum service to ensure the library is not the cause of a failed backup or restore – iLayer has shown to reduce service calls by 50%.

Quantum i40 iLayer Management software will proactively monitors events inside the library by sending mails and reduces service calls by 50%

 

5. We need to protect our data from getting into the wrong hands both from a government compliance concern and from a corporate security concern.

Sol: The Scalar i40/i80 support the highest level of encryption, AES-256 bit encryption standard, to ensure regulatory compliance and sensitive company data is protected, even while being stored offsite

Quantum i40 AES -256  encryption will protect your data.
