The Sun StorageTek StreamLine SL500 is a sophisticated tape library ideally suited for enterprise-level storage environments. With dimensions that make it compact for its class, the SL500 offers scalability to meet the growing demands of data storage. The unit identified by the part number SL500MM-42-SC-Z does not include tape drives, which must be purchased separately, allowing for customization according to specific requirements.
This model features a capacity to hold up to 42 tape cartridges, offering flexibility for different storage needs. The SL500 is compatible with both LTO (Linear Tape-Open) and other common tape formats, depending on the installed drives. Additionally, due to its modular design, it provides seamless tape cartridge handling and is easy to expand when future storage demands arise.
Equipped with SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) as its connectivity interface, the SL500 ensures reliable and fast data transfer rates, making it highly effective for large-scale backup and archival operations. SCSI interfaces are known for their dependability and are widely supported by server infrastructures, further enhancing the compatibility and performance of this tape library.
Offering a sturdy construction typical of Sun Microsystems products, the SL500 is designed for durability and high availability. It includes an integrated barcode reader, making tape organization highly efficient and reducing the administrative burden associated with managing large sets of tapes. The absence of pre-installed tape drives allows users the opportunity to tailor the solution according to their exact requirements, enabling better cost management and system optimization.
