The Quantum Scalar® i40 and i80 libraries are the easy-to-use tape libraries for
the growing storage needs of small and medium-sized businesses, as well as
remote office environments of larger enterprises. The Scalar i40 and i80 save
time by simplifying everything from initial set-up and on-going management,
to adding capacity over time.
The Quantum Scalar i40 and i80 include Quantum’s iLayer software which provides best-inclass management and monitoring
capabilities. iLayer software, shipped in over 30,000 Quantum Scalar libraries, typically reduces library management time by more
than 50%. iLayer’s easy-to-use interface can reduce business expense because it does not require a dedicated full time technical
staff member to keep the library up and running smoothly and reliably.iLayer includes proactive diagnostics, which has been shown
to reduce service calls by 50%. Proactive diagnostics provide easy-to-understand messages with specific corrective actions,
allowing users to avoid downtime and spend more time doing other things besides managing the tape environment.
Keeping up with data growth is simplified with the Quantum Scalar i40 and i80 tape libraries. The COD (capacity-on-demand)
scalability feature enables the library’s capacity to grow on demand with users’ data—without disruption. Start with 25 slots and
scale up to 40 slots with Scalar i40 (50 slots up to 80 slots for Scalar i80) as your requirements grow, with a software license
only—no hardware to purchase or install—providing market leading investment protection. To keep your sensitive data or
proprietary corporate intellectual property safe and to meet the increasing government requirements for compliance, both the
Scalar i40 and i80 support the US Federal government recommended encryption standard for the highest levels of security. Tape
encryption ensures your data is protected even while being stored offsite.
The QUantum Scalar i40 and i80 provide significant benefits over conventional entry-level tape automation products, including
better investment protection and less time managing the tape environment. All this, with the confidence of knowing that over
30,000 Scalar libraries with iLayer software have shipped, makes the Scalar i40/i80 the intelligent choice.
Simplicity – The simplest possible installation, operation and scaling Investment Protection – Capacity-ondemand feature enables easy in-box expansion Time Savings – iLayer intelligent management simplifies library management freeing up valuable time Increased Reliability – Industry-leading Reliability Availability Serviceability (RAS) features and proactive monitoring have
proven to reduce service calls 50% Compliance and Security – Supports Government level security with the highest level AES-256 bit Encryption Standard
