Reduce complexity
The SL500 reduces data management complexity. It seamlessly supports multiple applications in UNIX, Linux and Windows environments.
Improve relaibiltiy and accessibility
The SL500 helps maintain system reliability, stability and the predictability of backups with its redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and drives, serviceability features, and monitoring, management and control tools.
Improve performance
The SL500 can accommodate up to 18 tape drives, providing you with the performance you need to meet your shrinking backup windows. The SL500 is an ideal data protection solution for critical applications with fast data growth rates, such as e-mail servers, database applications and enterprise file servers.
Enable cost-effective and scalable growth
As data volumes continue to grow, backup windows continue to shrink. Most storage libraries in the midrange market quickly hit their capacity and performance limits. Not so with the SL500. It can easily grow from 30 to 575 LTO slots in a single rack mount configuration, and expansion modules are simple and affordable.
Save space, cut costs
The rack mountable approach and dense cartridge slot design makes the library an excellent fit in environments where space is at a premium. Configure a stand-alone tape automation rack, combine the SL500 in a rack with servers and disk storage arrays, or even place a smaller version on a desktop.
Gain years of investment protection
The SL500 provides you with an extremely adaptable platform designed to accommodate your current and future storage consolidation and data protection needs for years to come. With its flexible and modular design, the SL500 can effectively serve as a mid-range library, a next-tier solution for organizations using autoloaders and small libraries, and as a key component of a long-range storage consolidation strategy.
Increase value with exceptional storage services
StorageTek’s Implementation Services help you achieve the full benefits of your storage solution investment. StorageTek® can work with you to establish host connectivity to the library, integrate the library into your existing backup operations and set up media controls.
