ADIC doubles tape library capacity and throughput with support for LTO-3.Advanced Digital Information Corporation (Nasdaq:ADIC), a leader in Intelligent Storage solutions for the open systems market, has announced broad support for the third-generation Linear Tape-Open (LTO (Linear Tape Open) A family of open magnetic tape standards developed by HP, IBM and Quantum (formerly the Certance subsidiary of Seagate) that are licensed to third-party vendors. LTO cartridges contain a memory that stores historical usage data. ) Ultrium tape drive, offering users dramatically enhanced capacity and data transfer rates for its LTO family of tape libraries. With LTO-3 technology, ADIC tape libraries now offer single-library capacities of up to 10 petabytes and maximum combined data transfer rates of up to 50 TB per hour. The ADIC family of LTO-3 libraries provides the broadest solution range in the industry. It includes a full line of intelligent tape automation systems that extends from compact workgroup libraries to scalable solutions for consolidating enterprise backup and multi-robotic platforms for very large-scale archiving applications. "LTO-3 means that better library management tools are even more critical," said Bill Britts Bill Britt is one of the most successful Independent Business Owners (IBOs) in the Amway/Quixtar business. In 2002, together with his wife Peggy Britt, qualified for the corporations highest award; Founders Crown Ambassador. , ADIC executive vice-president of sales and marketing. "Larger and faster libraries mean that IT departments can consolidate protection for more servers and applications. But unless users also have easy access to better management tools it can actually make backup harder to control. ADIC's libraries are the perfect platforms for LTO-3 because they integrate directly into the library the industry's most advanced management features, including proactive path verification, managed SAN connectivity, capacity-on-demand growth, and automated au·to·mate v. au·to·mat·ed, au·to·mat·ing, au·to·mates v.tr. 1. To convert to automatic operation: automate a factory. 2. diagnostics that actually reduce the need for service calls by 50% over conventional libraries. "Offering LTO-3 libraries is important for our customers because it means that their backup systems 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 will be able to keep up with the growth of data and will continue to drive down costs. These are both important issues as users work to provide dependable and secure data protection for short-term file retrieval, system-wide disaster recovery, and long-term data retention in support of regulatory requirements Regulatory requirements are part of the process of drug discovery and drug development. Regulatory requirements describe what is necessary for a new drug to be approved for marketing in any particular country. ." LTO-3 technology will be available in ADIC'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. 24, Scalar 100, Scalar i2000, and Scalar 10K tape libraries and FastStor 2 autoloader, with shipments beginning in April 2005. LTO-3 drives offer double the capacity (up to 800GB (a) per cartridge (1) See phono cartridge. (2) A removable storage module that contains magnetic disks, optical discs, magnetic tape or memory chips. Cartridges are inserted into slots in the drive, printer or computer. ) and more than twice the data transfer rate (up to 160MB (a) / second throughput) of LTO-2 tape drives, and they provide backward capability with prior-generation Ultrium media. |
