Scalar i2000

The Scalar® i2000 intelligent enterprise library uses its exclusive iPlatform™ architecture and integral iLayer™ management software to reduce the time users spend managing backup, cut the need for service calls by 50% and shorten issue resolution time by 30%.

The Scalar i2000 is designed to meet the rigors of high-duty-cycle data center operations and to support the integration of next-generation disk-based backup solutions.  Its form factor was carefully designed to provide maximum density, flexibility, and utilization of physical resources in enterprise data centers.  Its use of a standard 19-inch rack form factor provides easy space planning and simple integration into data center environments.  The Scalar i2000 offers ultra high density of 746 cartridges per square meter and has the highest media import/export capability, offering up to 192 LTO bulk loading slots in one library.

The Scalar i2000 eliminates the need for external library control servers by integrating advanced management functions inside the library, including proactive alerting and remote diagnostics, library partitioning, I/O management, media integrity analysis, drive usage reports and support for SMI-S.  The Scalar i2000 uses its I/O blade architecture to offer faster, more reliable operation in SAN environments and its capacity-on-demand scalability lets users grow their backup system easily from 100 to more than 3400 tape cartridges in a compact, 19-inch rack-compatible form factor.  Shown is the Scalar i2000 Tape Library system and its expansion module on the right.
