BREECE HILL ANNOUNCES NEXT GENERATION IN DLT LIBRARIES; NEW Q2.15! TAPE LIBRARY PROVIDES AFFORDABLE, MODULAR STORAGE CAPABILITIES FOR CLIENT/SERVER APPLICATIONS.BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 26, 1996--Breece Hill Technologies, the market leader in digital linear tape (storage) Digital Linear Tape - (DLT) A kind of magnetic tape drive originally developed by DEC and now marketed by Quantum. DLT drives implement the Digital Lempel Ziv 1 (DLZ1) compression algorithm in a combination of hardware and firmware. (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. ) library systems, Wednesday announced the release of its next generation of DLT storage systems -- the entry-level, scalable Q2.15! Combining a small footprint with the highest configuration flexibility in the industry, Breece Hill's Q2.15! represents the next generation and direction for tape library systems. The Q2.15! incorporates the advanced features found in Breece Hill's larger Q7 (28-cartridge) and Q47 (40-cartridge) DLT library systems. The Q2.15! stores more than one terabyte of data, with 15 cartridges per library storage module. The modularity of the Q2.15! allows users to easily stack the units to expand drive and storage capacity as storage demands increase. In addition, the Q2.15! acts as one integrated unit occupying only one SCSI target ID. Available in rackmount, desktop or deskside configurations, the Q2.15! incorporates high-performance DLT technology and patented robotics systems designed to meet the demanding and changing requirements of network storage applications, such as hierarchical storage management See HSM. (HSM (1) (Hierarchical Storage Management) The automatic movement of files from hard disk to slower, less-expensive storage media. The typical hierarchy is from magnetic disk to optical disc to tape. ). This new library features one or two 2000XT, 4000 or 7000 DLT drives, an integrated bar The process of organizing the attorneys of a state into an association, membership in which is a condition precedent to the right to practice law. Integration is usually attained by enactment of a statute that grants authority to the highest court of the state to integrate code reader and a removable 10-cartridge magazine. To reduce downtime, the robotic calibration senses when any aspect of the physical environment changes and then adjusts for that change. In addition, the robotic system robotic system An integrated system of devices that automate production and manufacturing of goods and services Surgery An AI-based surgical assistant system, which processes sensory input from haptic interfaces and/or allows surgeons to act with more accuracy than incorporates adaptive positioning, controls that remember and complete specific move commands even after a power outage. When configured in a rackmount system, the library system allows tapes to be exchanged between individual rack-mounted Q2.15! subsystems even while drives are in the read or write mode. Unlike competitive systems, the Q2.15! features a single import/export slot for uninterrupted operations. Ease of operation is built into the Q2.15! with easy front panel setup, view of tape status, comprehensive power out recovery, short initialization in·i·tial·ize tr.v. in·i·tial·ized, in·i·tial·iz·ing, in·i·tial·iz·es Computer Science 1. To set (a starting value of a variable). 2. To prepare (a computer or a printer) for use; boot. 3. sequencing, easily accessible drives and single cartridge import/export. All major components such as drives and electrical boards are easily accessible and replaceable in less than a minute. The Q2.15! will support leading software backup and HSM applications running on 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). , Windows NT and Novell. MSRP MSRP Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price MSRP Message Session Relay Protocol MSRP Multi-Species Recovery Plan (US Fish & Wildlife Service) MSRP Member of the Society for Radiological Protection (UK) pricing for the Q2.15! with two DLT 4000 drives is $22,000, and units will begin shipping in late June.
