Quantum Scalar i3 Tape Library, 3U Control Module, 25 licensed slots, no tape drives. Part Number: LSC33-BSC0-001A ... A BackupWorks.com Best Seller!!! - Give us a call and we'll help configure your New Tape Library.

NOTE: Base library with no tape drives included. Used whenever an expansion module is not initially needed (i.e., initial configuration is up to 50 slots and up to three tape drives). If larger initial configuration (more than 50 slots and more than three tape drives) is needed or customer wants a base system with a pre-installed expansion module to accommodate easier future expansion, order LSC33-BSJ0-001A. Includes 3U library control module with embedded Ethernet, partitioning capability, 25-slot license, 3U rackmount kit, one power supply, one 3ft (0.9m) C13-C14 and one 3ft (0.9m) L-5-15 power cords. Supports up to a maximum of 50 slots and three tape drives before an Expansion Module is needed. Scalar i3 SAS tape drives require a mini-SAS-HD 8644 connector on the SAS cable. Does not include an expansion module, tape drives, Fibre Channel or Ethernet cables

The Easy, Efficient, and Scalable Tape Library

Struggling to keep up with storage demands, data security, and shrinking IT budgets? The Scalar i3 Tape system is designed specifically to give mid-sized IT environments the kind of protection provided by Quantum tape, while solving the problems associated with cost, scaling, and management. The Scalar i3 can start as a single 3U system that provides secure, cost-effective backup storage of up to 1,125 TB. It can scale in 25-slot increments as data volumes increase—all the way up to 18 PB in only 24U. Its Capacity-on-Demand (CoD) software makes growing the system easy and economical.

The Scalar i3 includes all security features as described in the Quantum Scalar Security Framework to help maintain data integrity and protect against cyber threats. It is a simple cartridge-based media handling system, and it uses Quantum’s intelligent iLayer management software to monitor library systems and provide intuitive, proactive alerts. The result is the industry’s best tape backup and archive protection at the lowest total ownership cost.

Features and Benefits

Lowest-Cost, Long-Term Storage
LTO tape continues to provide the lowest-cost, long-term storage solution, and for PB-scale data sets, is a fraction of the cost of public cloud and other cold storage solutions. Quantum Scalar Tape Libraries further reduce total cost with space efficient designs, iLayer proactive diagnostics and analytics, automated monitoring and reporting, and integration with cloud-based AIOps software to reduce administrative time.

Easily Manage Data Growth
Quantum Scalar Tape Libraries have a modular design that simplifies adding storage slots for capacity growth and drives for greater performance. Capacity-on-Demand (CoD) slot licensing provides a level of storage granularity to help you better manage your storage costs in a pay-as-you-grow approach with capacity scaling from 1,125 TB up to 540 PB based on LTO-9 compressed capacity.

Ensure Data Integrity and Security
Quantum Scalar Tape Libraries are the most secure tape libraries on the market, with over 25 unique features and capabilities that form a comprehensive security framework which controls system access, provides system monitoring and event detection, data security and encryption, and unique features for cyber protection and data integrity.

Maximize Availability, Durability, and Performance with Quantum RAIL Architecture
Scalar Tape Libraries can be deployed in a Redundant Array of Independent Libraries, or “RAIL” architecture when used with software that can write files and objects across multiple tape systems. This gives maximum performance, availability, and durability when building a large tape archive.
