Qualstar TLS-Series libraries bring the benefits and advantages of world-class
tape automation to VXA technology users. The TLS-4000 family for Ecrix's VXA
tape drives economically and reliably automates unattended, lights-out backup
and other tape-based applications, protecting data throughout the
organization.
VXA technology incorporates a number of breakthroughs that increase
performance and reliability while reducing cost. VXA introduces discrete
packet format, which substantially improves error recovery rates, and
overscanning to virtually eliminate data loss. This unique design reduces cost
by decreasing dependence on precision components and assembly. Variable speed
operation has also been incorporated to continually adjusts tape speed to
match the actual data transfer rate, reducing backhitching.
Proven over thousands of installations worldwide, the TLS-Series automation
families incorporate simple, rugged designs that provide years of dependable
operation. Servo-controlled, leadscrew-driven mechanisms eliminate
failure-prone components that more complex designs require. This approach also
yields very precise, self-calibrating positioning accuracy that substantially
reduces media wear and increases tape drive reliability.
The TLS-Series incorporates other examples of thoughtful design: Filtered,
positive air pressure is maintained within the unit to eliminate airborne
contamination for extended media and head life. "Inventory Sentry"
uses optical sensors to monitor cartridge movement within the library to
insure application continuity. Barcode support in all models means that a
complete inventory takes only 70 seconds; while I/O ports give the application
complete control over tape import and export.
