Quantum has continually sought the advice of our extensive user base to help
define and plot the course of the next generation of tape libraries. The
design and implementation of the PX720 is no different. Based on thorough
customer feedback, the PX720 was uniquely engineered to deliver what
customers expect plus additional features to place it in a class of its own.
The PX720’s fifth generation, time-tested
robotics ensure unmatched reliability and uptime. With standard redundant
features such as fans and power supplies, IT professionals do not have to
choose between high-availability and price. Easily serviced and upgraded
from the front or rear of the library, the PX720 was designed to get online
and stay online.
The PX720 can integrate into a variety of
network environments. With multiple connectivity options to choose from and
a wide assortment of supported drive types such as SDLT 320, SDLT 600, LTO-2
and LTO-3, IT professionals can mix and match interfaces (FC, SCSI and GbE)
or drive types (nFC and SCSI) to address network consolidation pain-points.
The PX720 supports from one to twenty drives
and 726 media slots in a single frame and can scale to over 3,600 media
slots with the unique Crosslink™ Mechanism. The Capacity on Demand (CoD)
feature allows you to buy the capacity you need today and incrementally add
capacity as your data requirements increase while Performance on Demand (PoD)
allows you to meet changing performance requirements.
The PX720 delivers enterprise class features
at a superior value. With innovative features such as Web-based management
and monitoring, redundant power supplies, and cooling plus installation and
training at no additional charge, the PX720 offers IT professionals an
exceptional tape library at a price they can afford. With additional cost
saving concepts like CoD and PoD, you can buy what you need today and
upgrade when you need to.
