ADIC Scalar Tape Libraries are now Quantum Scalar Tape Libraries

Advanced Digital Information Corporation originally provided the Scalar line of leading tape storage solutions to the open systems marketplace, and since being acquired by Quantum, the Scalar line has improved on that tradition.

Scalar i2000 - enterprise-class intelligent tape storage library

Scalar i500 - midrange, high expandable, intelligent tape storage

iPlatform Architecture

The Scalar’s iPlatform architecture links a linked server-class main controller, distributed controller processors, and I/O blades, all via an embedded communications area network.

iLayer Management

The integral iLayer management portion of the iPlatform architecture maximizes manageability by integrating diagnostics, resource management, and I/O management within the library. Eliminating the need for external management software & features, the iLayer features:

• native partitioning,
• self-diagnosis,
• mixed-media operations,
• true drive hot-swap,
• proactive path readiness checks & verification,
• data path, failover and customer alerting,
• media integrity analysis,
• drive usage reporting,
• real-time email links to a 24-hour service team,
• and relational diagnostic logic, which provides easier, quicker, and more reliable issue resolution

This common management software can extend to other Quantum tape libraries and disk backup solutions, and provides a future-proof base for next-generation technologies.
