The Scalar 100 is a mid-range library
that offers a powerful combination of industry-leading density, trouble-free
scalability, and advanced storage networking technology.
This capacity-packed system is the first tape library to deliver a storage
density of 2TB¹ per rack unit. In fact, a standard rack cabinet can hold three
Scalar 100s, giving you over 86TBs of capacity in a very compact space.
Highly scalable, the Scalar 100 can grow from 15 to 96 tapes and from 1 to 8
drives. Adding capacity is easy. Upgrades take less than 10 minutes and don’t
require changing your rack system or adding external elevators or pass-through
ports.
Its integrated storage networking support improves the performance and
reliability of SAN backup and delivers a complete capacity, connectivity, and
management solution for new SAN technologies such as iSCSI.
The Scalar 100 supports LTO, SDLT/DLT, or AIT technology.
Features and Benefits

sustained.
2 Power consumption is obtained using RMS values for voltage and
current. Indicated Agency Label value for maximum volt-Amperes of 240V*3.5A
(840W) should be used to determine non-cooling system requirements. Drive sled
power consumption is taken while writing to a tape.
