AML libraries support more than a dozen media types, including all leading tape formats (3590, 9840, DLTtape, AIT, DTF, etc), non-digital recorders (Betacam, for example), even audio CDs and optical disks.

The Right Solution For Changing Technology: Mixing And Changing Media Is Easy
Recording technologies are evolving so rapidly that it's difficult to predict which ones will meet your future needs. ADIC AML libraries are the first automated storage products to let you take advantage of this change. They support more than a dozen technologies today, and they are designed for easy field integration of new drive technologies. Older and newer technology can easily co-exist since AML libraries support concurrent operation of different technologies in the same library. The AML multi-media support means

The Right Solution For Data Growth: True Scalability Within a Single Library
With conventional storage libraries, scalability means that IT managers are forced to buy multiple smaller units with expensive extra robotics and cumbersome pass-through ports-or an entire silo now, even if they only need part of its capacity today. The AML/J system of expansion modules offers a fundamentally different approach. It grows easily and economically in direct response to your data growth-from as few as 2 drives and 400 cartridges up to as many as 226 drives and 7500 cartridges. With the AML/J's unique barrier-free expansion, the entire library is served by a continuous, integrated robotics system that completely eliminates the delays and reliability penalties caused by pass-through ports. With the AML/J, you have low-cost incremental growth combined with the highest levels of performance and reliability.

The Right Solution for Data Availability: Global Integration and Support Services
Continuous data availability is crucial for enterprise-class data storage. ADIC recognizes that total data protection requires an integrated approach that includes both product design and an experienced and committed service and support team. We begin with a design that minimizes moving parts, with uncompromising quality and reliability coupled with redundancy in key hardware elements. Then we incorporate an integration services team, available all over the world, that understands the complex nature of your storage needs and the ways that effective storage can serve your organization. Finally, we add one of the industry's premier global support and logistics teams, one that provides service in more than 40 countries worldwide.

The Right Solution for Enterprise Information: Sharing Storage Across Applications
Information has become the most valuable asset of the contemporary organization, one that needs to be shared throughout the enterprise. With the AML/J's integrated multi-host architecture, your storage library can play a central role in managing all of your data. Multi-host architecture lets your AML/J become a shared network resource that protects and organizes your information across all of your network applications and operating systems, including Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs). It also lets you partition your library into user-defined volumes, automate media management, and support remote monitoring and operation.

 

AML/J Multi-Host Architecture

AML/J Drive and Media Support
 

Note: Minimum configuration assumes Base Module with import/export unit and maximum drive count. Maximum configuration assumes Base Module plus nine Expansion Modules filled with media.
 

AML/J Configurations
 

*Drive and media capacity will vary depending on number and type of drives and number of cabinets. Contact your ADIC representative for complete configuration options.
