Scalar i500

Intelligent Midrange Library with high scalability, performance, and reliability.

Based on the iPlatformTM-architecture the library integrates advanced backup functions to increase overall data protection, simplify management, reduce the need for external servers and software, and save users time and money over the life of their backup system.
The Scalar i500 offers industry-leading RAS features designed to meet the availability requirements of the most demanding midrange data centers. Hot swap drives are standard on all models.

The library's capacity-on-demand scalability provides non-disruptive growth from 36 up to 402 tape positions. The single, continuous robotics system guarantees fast, reliable cartridge transfer under the widest possible range of conditions.
The iPlatform architecture and integral management software make backup easier to manage and give users more control over the process. Its proactive monitoring and remote diagnostics can reduce service calls by 50% and speed up issue resolution by 30%.
