Typical installations: Distributed networking environments and remote
installations
Supported applications: Network backup/restore, remote storage and
automated archiving
Designed for IT environments with increasing data storage requirements,
the Exabyte 215M M2 tape library brings affordable, high-performance,
dependable automation technology to backup. The Exabyte 215M
accommodates up to two M2 tape drives and 15 data cartridges and offers
the ability to conduct unattended operations over 10 hours.
To protect the user's investment, the library allows users to start with
one drive and ten cartridges and easily integrate an additional drive
and cartridges as their data storage needs grow. The easy-to-use
interface guides users through library and drive status, diagnostics and
help functions.
Occupying just five rack units in height, the Exabyte 215M utilizes very
little space and maximizes the use of valuable data center space,
especially when two units are mounted side by side in the rack. The
compact size allows the library to fit on the desktop or on top of a
server. Tape drives are designed to be field replaceable, allowing for
ease of service and the ability to upgrade to future-generation tape
drives, further protecting the user's investment. The modular design of
the 215M also allows for integration of other tape technologies,
including LTO and SDLT.
