ADL Libraries certified with SM-arch backup/ retrieval software.BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 15, 1996--MediaLogic ADL Inc., developer of the industry's premier scalable library solutions, Monday announced that its Scalable Library Architecture (SLA (1) (StereoLithography Apparatus) See 3D printing. (2) (Service Level Agreement) A contract between the provider and the user that specifies the level of service expected during its term. ) product line will be supported by SM-arch/a from Software Moguls A list of the wealthiest and/or most influential people in software.
SM-arch will support the SLA library products on a complete range of UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). platforms, including Sun Microsystems Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAVA[3]) is an American vendor of computers, computer components, computer software, and information-technology services, founded on 24 February 1982. , Silicon Graphics, IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) and Hewlett-Packard. According to Vinod Gupta, Software Moguls president, the SLA/ SM-arch hardware-software combination is an ideal fit as the SLA libraries are one of the few automated storage solutions on the market that can take advantage of the performance benefits of SM-arch. "Throughput is now a dominant concern for UNIX systems administrators and together with ADL we can now offer a robust, scalable solution that more than fulfills the throughput demands of today's sprawling UNIX, Netware and Windows NT installations," said Gupta. "SM-arch provides SLA users with a consistent backup application across a wide variety of UNIX operating environments, making it ideal for customers with large, diverse enterprise networks," said Lee Elizer, president and chief executive officer of MediaLogic ADL. "ADL's mission is to create superior technology solutions and this pairing of SLA hardware and SM-arch software creates an exceptional, turnkey, platform-independent UNIX data management solution." ADL's SLA product family currently includes three series of automated data libraries: the SLA-4 Series of 4mm DAT (1) (Dynamic Address Translator) A hardware circuit that converts a virtual memory address into a real address. See also DAT file. (2) (Digital Audio Tape) A magnetic tape technology used for backing up data. systems with capacities of up to 576 gigabytes (with 20, 40 and 72 cartridges) in a 6-drive configuration; the SLA-8 series of 8mm units, offering more than 728 gigabytes of capacity also in a 6-drive configuration (with 14, 28 and 52 cartridges); and the multi-terabyte, high- performance DLT-based SLA-D product family with up to 4 drives (with 7, 14 and 26 cartridges) with 1.04 terabytes. All SLA products feature proprietary hot swap and configuration redirection features that allow drives to be replaced or additional drives to be installed while the other drives continue to operate unimpeded unimpeded Adjective not stopped or disrupted by anything Adj. 1. unimpeded - not slowed or prevented; "a time of unimpeded growth"; "an unimpeded sweep of meadows and hills afforded a peaceful setting" . This avoids re-booting of servers, a time-consuming process. The result is nearly 100 percent uptime and uninterrupted data availability that is unmatched by competitive products. Data availability is further enhanced by the scalable design that increases the data handling capability of the library as more drives are added. Each drive includes an integrated media loader so that any of up to 72 tape cartridges in the 4mm SLA-4 libraries, up to 52 tape cartridges in the 8mm SLA-8 libraries, and up to 26 tape cartridges in the DLT (Digital Linear Tape) A magnetic tape technology originally developed by Digital for its VAX line. The technology was later sold to Quantum, which makes it available to other manufacturers. DLT uses half-inch, single-hub cartridges similar to IBM's 3480/3490/3590 line. SLA-D libraries, can be accessed in two seconds or less. Quick and easy data interchange is supported via the front panel-accessible MixedMedia Interchange Drawer. The Drawer can be configured with up to three removable media SCSI SCSI in full Small Computer System Interface Once common standard for connecting peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, etc.) to small and medium-sized computers. SCSI has given way to faster standards, such as Firewire and USB. devices to exchange information between the MixedMedia devices and the DataPaks. Based in Minneapolis, Software Moguls now serves a fast-growing number of Fortune 500 companies, international organizations and government agencies including John Deere, 3M, Chemical Bank, Apple Computer, MBNA MBNA Monument Builders of North America MBNA Mercedes-Benz North America MBNA Maryland Bank, National Association MBNA Maryland Bank North America MBNA Mount Baker Nurses Association (Bellingham, Washington) , The Signature Group, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Ottertail Power and many others.
