Tandberg Expands Tape Library

OSLO -- Tandberg Data, the global supplier of backup and archiving solutions, today introduced the StorageLibrary T120+, a scalable tape library, offering from 24 to 114 slots, with capacities ranging from 9.6TB to 91TB (native). The StorageLibrary T40+ Series, comprising of the StorageLibrary T40+, T80+ and T120+, offers a choice of Full Height and Half Height LTO-3 and LTO-4 drives and a host of management features.

The Tandberg StorageLibraryTM T40+ Series combines high capacity and performance in scalable 4U form factor, scaling up to 12U and 91TB with the T120+. The libraries offer outstanding value for IT departments that need to perform large, unattended backups, and who require flexibility, reliability and a future proof technology. With flexible capacity, performance and support for LVD SCSI, Native Fibre Channel and SAS connectivity, the StorageLibrary is suited to fit in most midrange and enterprise storage environments.

Exponential data growth, regulatory compliance and data availability requirements have fuelled the need for high capacity, high performance, enterprise-level data protection solutions for large enterprises as well as for medium-sized businesses,” says Kjell Øyvind Aasene, Business unit manager for tape at Tandberg Data. “Many companies are facing budget constraints and with the StorageLibrary Series, they can limit the initial backup and archiving investment, and build on that investment by expanding the unit in future. Scalable solutions such as the StorageLibrary allow customers to extend their backup solution as requirements grow.”
