PX500 Series

Features: The PX500 Series, is a modular tape automation platform designed to provide unique flexibility and scalability choices that deliver superior investment protection.






The PX500 Series -- comprising the PX502, PX506 and PX510 -- offers independent rackmount systems of 4U, 10U and 18U (rack-unit) to meet customers' mission-critical data demands from the workgroup to the data center. The systems are based on a common and modular architecture that allows customers the flexibility to mix and match rack density, capacity and performance, best meeting backup, recovery and archive needs today and into the future at an unmatched cost per gigabyte (GB).

Claimed to be the only mid-range automation design that enables customers to meet current and future scalability requirements within a platform, with far less complexity than current products, and at no additional cost, the new product promises to address expanding data growth, consolidate or distribute storage systems, meet regulatory compliance demands or combine disk and tape-based solutions as the foundation of a tiered storage model.






Quantum's innovative approach negates the need for external hardware or cabling and instead uses infrared and self-alignment technology for communication and set-up between units. Moreover, units can be added or removed in minutes with no additional hardware or cabling, and without taking the entire system offline.





The PX502, PX506 and PX510 systems of the PX500 Series are tailored for customers to standardize their tape-based backup, recovery and archive on a single platform. Designed for serviceability, each library offers its own robotics and power for independent operation.
