The Quantum Scalar i500 tape library capacity-on-demand scalability
lets it grow, non-disruptively with users’ data. The Quantum Scalar i500
is designed to integrate easily with disk backup, making it the perfect
library for next-generation backup architectures. With the Quantum
Scalar i500, IT managers can be assured they will have reliable,
high-performance backup, certain restores, and effective long term
protection for years into the future, no matter how their storage needs
evolve.

Quantum Scalar i500 tape library users simply select an initial
configuration that provides additional tape slots. This function is
pre-installed and ready to be activated using a simple software key.
When all the base systems’ tape slots are activated, users can increase
slots available for growth by adding expansion modules. With
capacity-on-demand, Quantum Scalar i500 users can expand their
library capacity in 46-slot increments from 41 to 409 (LTO-4) tape
positions. Its proactive monitoring and remote diagnostics can reduce
service calls by 50% and shorten issue resolution times by 30%.

To protect and secure your valuable data, Quantum Encryption Key
Manager (Q-EKM) can be enabled on the Scalari500 to provide
administrators with a solution to encrypt backup data written to LTO-4
tapes. Quantum Q-EKM is an enterprise proven, easy-to-use, solution
for managing encryption keys across multiple Quantum libraries. The
Quantum Q-EKM application operates out of the data path for maximum
flexibility and performance to manage the encryption keys used as part
of the LTO-4 drive-based data encryption process.

The Quantum Scalar i500 comes with a one-year warranty enhanced
with service options. It is supported by Quantum’s StorageCare™
service approach that extends remote diagnostics to the storage
ecosystem. For configuration options, pricing and availability please
allow DSS, Inc. to put together a detailed solution designed to meet
your project criteria and earn your business.
