Improve data protection and backup success rates
With its powerful monitoring software, the L1400M enables you to monitor your entire backup infrastructure—drives, library assets, switches and backup applications—centrally from a single console. You can easily identify the specific reasons for any backup failure and more effectively analyze, tune and manage your storage infrastructure.

Easily grow to meet increasing storage demands
The L1400M’s continuous capacity capability allows you to scale non-disruptively, without downtime, from 200 to 678 slots in 100-slot increments using a software key. The second library also scales non-disruptively.

Increase flexibility
The L1400M library solution is all about flexibility — the flexibility to quickly grow, adapt and manage change as new business challenges arise. Not only can you increase capacity without interrupting service, but the library can be seamlessly shared across UNIX, Linux and Windows NT environments as well as multiple backup applications. And the L1400M lets you select the right data protection or archiving technology for the right application. Choose among fast-access T9840, high-capacity T9940 or mid-range LTO/SDLT tape drives.

Maximize asset utilization with logical partitioning and drive sharing
The L1400M’s soft partitioning capabilities allow you to dynamically manage, create and change up to six logical partitions with no library downtime. Asset utilization increases since it’s easy to reclaim unused capacity from partitions. And flexible drive assignment and the ability to share drives between partitions helps you further maximize utilization and minimize costs.

Enhance reliability and accessibility
The L1400M helps you minimize or eliminate downtime and service interruptions with the advanced reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) features that StorageTek libraries are known for. Dynamic drive upgrades, hot-swappable components and continuous calibration of robotics are just a few of these features.

Reduce storage management complexity
The L1400M library solution is packaged with the hardware and software you need and provides advanced library control, management and monitoring capabilities.
