Highlights

  • Less than 30 minutes to install, the installation on the T50e is intuitively comprehensive to configure
  • Easy connectivity choices of direct-connect SCSI or Fibre Channel
  • 4U library can be rack mounted or used on a table top
  • Scale from 10-50 slots, with 1-4 half height LTO4 drives, or 1-2 full-height LTO drives, and up to two partitions
  • Consumes minimal power while taking advantage of the library's full efficiency, while giving you greater control over your data center and budget
  • Reduces the traditional pain points with Media Lifecycle Management MLM. MLM records 30 data points every time a tape is loaded, providing vital statistical, and diagnostic information that empowers to manage your tape media throughout it's life
  • Compatible with every interface and major networking protocol and all major back up applications
  • Can be shared with multiple servers and applications, allowing sites using two backup applications to use just one T50e
  • Disk-base options are offered to compliment the T50e, easily adding deduplication, VTL, and D2D2T to your backup environment

Features and Benefits

  • Easy one-step encryption and backup process, BlueScale Encryption, as a standard feature-letting you protect your data using federally-approved AES-256 encryption while backing up your data
  • BlueScale Encryption is the only truly integrated encryption for data stored on tape, and lets you seamlessly and affordably add encryption to your backup strategy without changing any existing backup policies and requires no additional hardware or software.
  • Capacity on Demand (CoD) helps meet your demand for capacity instantaneously, efficiently, and cost-effectively to meet your growing data storage needs
  • As little as ten slots can be made available incrementally through key activation, on-demand and instantaneously
  • When capacity requirements outgrow the T50e, the TranScale architecture is designed to provide incremental growth to accommodate the storage requirements of organizations in every stage of their growth cycle.
  • Provides an investment to your current features
