SSL2020 AIT Library
SSL2020 AIT
library is a single or dual drive library that offers 1 Terabyte (native) of
storage in a 4U tabletop or rack configuration. This library also offers
scalability and flexibility as storage needs grow. The library modules can be
stacked five high to give the customer up to 10 Terabytes of storage within a
20U space. By stacking the modules the customer can build a 10 drives solution
that holds 100 data cassettes, which gives them higher capacity and greater
performance.

magazine, and integral bar code reader and either one or two Compaq AIT
50GB drives. Add a cassette to the mailslot for a complete 20-cassette
solution.
Capacity, Performance
and Scalability
The SSL2020 is built on a
modular concept, offering scalability and flexibility for custom
configurations. Combine modules for a rackmount solution to meet
specific performance and capacity requirements. The SSL2020 can be
configured as a single device or a multi-module device, supporting up to
five modules in a single rack configuration.
SSL2020 Mini-Library
The SSL2020 can support up
to two AIT 50GB drives, offering up to 12 MB/s of native performance.
With 20 data cassettes (19-slot magazine, one mailslot), the SSL2020
offers up to two terabytes of compressed data storage capacity in a
small 4U height.
Advanced Intelligent
Tape (AIT) Technology
AIT drive employs a helical
scan recording style in which data tracks are written at an angle
relative to the edge of the tape. This provides higher density
recording, enabling Compaq customers to lower costs and increase
efficiency by storing more data on a single tape.
Memory-In-Cassette (MIC)
AIT technology features
Memory-In-Cassette (MIC), a 16-Kb memory chip built into the data
cassette which speeds access to your data. The MIC chip provides
sophisticated data access capability that allows users to load and
unload the tape at the mid-point, which helps in locating files in
seconds.
Compatibility and
Integration Testing
Compaq’s SSL2020 ensures
the customer of full compatibility with Compaq’s ProLiant servers,
AlphaServers and controllers. Compaq thoroughly tests products with
leading software and operating systems, including VERITAS Backup Exec,
CA ARCserve and Dantz Retrospect.
Manageability
The SSL2020 AIT library
configurations are fully supported through Compaq Insight Manager™,
providing information to administrators for both robotic and tape status
changes. Other data and automation manageability features are provided
via specific third party applications software packages.
