The Quantum Scalar i500 is the intelligent scalable tape library that gives growing midrange storage environments faster, easier, and more reliable data protection. It combines a modular design with continuous robotics to provide industry-leading scalability, performance, and reliability. The Scalar i500 includes Quantum iLayer software with proacive monitoring and remote diagnostics that can reduce management time by 75%, reduce service calls by 50%, and shorten issue resolution times by 30%. Its capacity-on-demand scalability lets it grow non-disruptively with users' data. The Extended Data Life Management feature ensures your archived media is trouble-free so the data is available when you need it. security features like access control and FIPS-compliant encryption key management safeguards your data while it's in the library? after export, and when it's offsite. And the Scalar i500 is designed to integrate easily with disk backup? making it the perfect library for tiered storage architectures. With the Scalar i500, IT managers can be assured they have a scalable, reliable, secure, high-performance archive and effective long-term protection for years into the future, no matter how their storage needs evolve.
