Tape automation platform from Quantum

Features:

Quantum Corp., provider of data storage systems, today announced the availability of its PX500 Series, a new modular tape automation platform designed to provide flexibility and scalability choices that deliver investment protection.



It is the only midrange automation design that enables customers to meet current and future scalability requirements within a platform, with far less complexity than current products at no additional cost.

Quantum said in a statement that customers can now more easily 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.



The PX500 Series — consisting of the PX502, PX506 and PX510 — offers independent rack-mount 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).
