ADIC Scalar i2000 selected as product of the year.Advanced Digital Information Corporation (Nasdaq:ADIC) announced recently that the company's Scalar scalar, quantity or number possessing only sign and magnitude, e.g., the real numbers (see number), in contrast to vectors and tensors; scalars obey the rules of elementary algebra. Many physical quantities have scalar values, e.g. i2000 data center tape library was selected as the Product of the Year in the backup hardware category at the seventh annual Forum Stockage conference, held earlier this month in Paris. International in scope, Forum Stockage is Europe's largest storage-centric conference and exhibition. Winners in other product categories at this year's event include Brocade brocade (brōkād`), fabric, originally silk, generally reputed to have been developed to a high state of perfection in the 16th and 17th cent. in France, Italy, and Spain. , Network Appliance (1) A specialized device for use on a network. For example, Web servers, cache servers and file servers can be implemented as general-purpose computers with the appropriate software or as network appliances, which are computers dedicated to a single function and cannot do anything , Legato (Legato Systems, Inc., Mountain View, CA, www.legato.com) A leading provider of storage management and high-availability software founded in 1988 and acquired by EMC Corporation in 2003. Legato software, including Celestra data management (data mining, data migration, etc. and Veritas. "The selection of the Scalar i2000 as product of the year demonstrates broad industry agreement that intelligence counts," commented Scott Roza, ADIC Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "The Scalar i2000 sets new standards for automated tape libraries by integrating advanced management functions inside the library itself. This innovation increases the level of data protection IT departments can achieve, while eliminating the need for external hardware and software. The end results are a reduction in the time spent managing backup and lower overall costs." The ADIC Scalar i2000 eliminates external library control servers and enhances library functions to increase overall data protection and save users time and money over the life of their backup system Noun 1. backup system - a computer system for making backups ADP system, ADPS, automatic data processing system, computer system, computing system - a system of one or more computers and associated software with common storage . The Scalar i2000 is the first library to incorporate ADIC's intelligent iPlatform architecture, integrating and simplifying key backup management functions and offering built-in support for a broad range of data center requirements while reducing the need for external applications, equipment, and management activities. Functions integrated within the Scalar i2000 include native partitioning To divide a resource or application into smaller pieces. See partition, application partitioning and PDQ. of a single library into multiple logical libraries, mixed-media operation, native Fibre Channel connectivity, advanced performance monitoring, proactive system readiness checks, self-guided diagnostics, and policy-based user alerts that are sent over standard email and pager networks. The iPlatform's server-class embedded controller Controller circuitry built into a device or on the main system board, in contrast with a removable card or module. displays real-time backup performance data and gathers information to be used for future predictive analysis. The Scalar i2000 also incorporates a unique capacity-on-demand capability, allowing users to expand capacity from 100 to over 2200 cartridges and pay for added capacity only as they use it. |
