Quantum Scalar i2000

The Scalar® i2000 intelligent enterprise library uses its exclusive iPlatform™ architecture and integral iLayer™ management software to reduce the time users spend managing backup, cut the need for service calls by 50%, and shorten issue resolution time by 30%.

bulletIntegrates advanced management functions inside the library for more effective management of the backup process
bulletDesigned to support integration with leading disk-based solutions
bulletI/O blade architecture for faster, more reliable SAN operation and reduced switch port requirements
bulletIntegrated SMI-S allows the library to be managed through standard SRM tools, including EMC ControlCenter™
bulletDrive utilization and media integrity analysis tools for advanced library resource management and diagnostics
bulletAdvanced scalability with rack–compatible capacity–on–demand growth
SCALAR i2000 PRODUCT DETAILS  
 

The Scalar i2000 is designed to meet the rigors of high-duty-cycle data center operations and to support the integration of next-generation disk-based backup solutions. In addition, its form factor was carefully designed to provide maximum density, flexibility, and utilization of physical resources in enterprise data centers. Its use of a standard 19-inch rack form factor provides easy space planning and simple integration into data center environments. The Scalar i2000 offers ultra high density of 746 cartridges per square meter and has the highest media import/export capability, offering up to 192 LTO bulk loading slots in one library.

The Scalar i2000 library features Quantum’s iPlatform architecture and integral iLayer management software which gives end users an unmatched level of control over the backup process. iPlatform provides a server-class main controller, distributed control processors, and I/O blades, all linked by an embedded communications area network. The iLayer management software dramatically improves the manageability of the enterprise backup process by integrating advanced diagnostics services, library resource management, and I/O management inside the library.   A common iLayer management software approach extends across Quantum’s iPlatform tape libraries and disk-based backup products, enabling end users to transition easily to next-generation backup solutions.

The Scalar i2000 proactively checks the data paths between all hosts and each drive in the library to ensure that the entire system—including fabric connections—is ready to perform the backup. Its performance optimization technology delivers the highest possible drive performance within a SAN, and its blade-based I/O management unit aggregates drive connections, reducing switch port and cabling requirements by up to 75%.

With the Scalar i2000, full 2N power redundancy means that the library and all its drives are protected from any single point of failure in the power system. And its Fibre Channel port failover feature automatically routes data to a failover path if a library port, switch port, or the cabling connection between the switch and the library fails.

The Scalar i2000 takes advantage of Quantum’s industry-first scalability architecture: capacity-on-demand. Capacity-on-demand allows you to pay for only the capacity you need today, and easily plan for non-disruptive capacity upgrades as you grow. When you need more capacity, activation of additional 100-slot increments occurs simply by using a software key. To accommodate continual data growth, the Scalar i2000 expands to more than 3,400 LTO slots in a single library.
