Qualstar Q40 LTO-9 and LTO-10 Tape Library

Qualstar Q40 Scalable Rackmount Tape Library Solution - 40-slot LTO-7/ LTO-8 / LTO-9 / LTO-10 Tape Library with SAS or FC Connectivity

The Qualstar Q40 scalable tape library is designed to be Simply Reliable, providing superior performance and scalability for short-term backup, disaster recovery, and long-term archiving requirements. The Q40 system offers capacity scaling from 40 to 640 cartridge slots, and from one to 48 tape drives. The Q40 utilizes LTO-7, LTO-8, LTO-9 or LTO-10 tape drives with SAS or FC interface, each 3U Q40 library module delivering up to 1.2 petabytes (LTO-10, Native) or up to 3 petabytes (LTO-10, compressed) of storage capacity. The Q40 base unit may be expanded with up to fifteen expansion modules creating a single library system with as much as 48 petabytes (LTO-10 compressed) storage capacity in a single 48U rack. The Q40 uses a single robot to service all drives and media, maximizing cost effectiveness.  The user control panel employs an intuitive GUI and setup wizards to make the system easy to configure and operate. An integrated browser-based remote management interface (RMI) enables IT administrators to remotely configure, manage, and diagnose the library from anywhere in the world.
