Quantum makes a golden leap

BANGALORE: Quantum Corp., a global storage provider specializing on back up, archives and recovery today announced that the company has shipped 20,000 Scalar i500 series tape libraries.

The company report states that Quantum has achieved this milestone in just over two and half years since its release.

The Scalar i500 combines a highly scalable design and its advanced, integrated iLayer management features delivers flexibility and unrivaled manageability in heterogeneous, data-intensive environments at both the midrange and enterprise level, said a press release.

Its powerful iLayer features include tools that provide IT managers with detailed reports on tape media integrity and reliability as well as enabling customers to optimize the Scalar i500 workload across tape drives by providing historical and trending analysis.

“As customers demand higher capacity, greater performance and more advanced management features across their tape systems, this shipment milestone underscores Quantum’s focus on intelligent tape library design,” said Todd Farley, product marketing manager, tape automation systems for Quantum.

It is basically designed to meet diverse range of backup needs, offering users the flexibility to match the size of the system with their environment, and also reduce the time spent on managing their tape resources.

The Cornerstone Group of Companies, a Canada-based provider in database management and data integrated solutions, is a direct example of the significant return on investment (ROI) achieved through the deployment of Scalar i500 systems.
