Due to the remarkable growth in E-commerce and digital data assets, the organizations are struggling to comply with the stiff government regulations. The volume of data is growing rapidly and the need to store, retrieve and backup at a faster rate has become critical for business success. The tape libraries facilitate the IT managers to achieve their data protection objectives with minimal investment and human intervention.

Dell-branded tape libraries are carefully engineered keeping in mind scalability, superior quality, supreme reliability and greater compatibility. To address the backup storage demands of data-rich companies, Dell has developed a versatile TL-4000 PowerVault library, which uses the industry-leading LTO (Linear tape open) technology. The high-capacity LTO5 tape and the two previous version LTO4 and LTO3 media tape devices can be integrated with the TL-4000 library.

PowerVault TL-4000 tape library can accommodate an extremely huge data amount of 72 terabytes (un-compressed). The automated library operations help to archive and backup ...

The rack mount option saves more data-center space and facilitates the users to backup voluminous data amounts into a small package. You will be amazed to know that TL4000 library only occupies 4-U rack space and can seamlessly accommodate up to 48 tapes.

Dell LTO ultrium tape cartridges are robustly designed to deliver fast, precise and uninterrupted storage/retrieval performance. In addition, their exceptional robustness ensures safe offsite transportation without any risk of damaged cartridges. Dell LTO ultrium2 cartridge is perfect for high speed backup operations, and features 200 GB uncompressed capacity.

Dell TL4000 library supports a wide range of storage area networks and is the product choice of many demanding server environments. The IT staff can enjoy the benefits of remote Web management and monitor the library operations, check status, control system logs, perform setup and up-grade firmware from remote sites. With the introduction of optical cartridge location functionality, the TL4000 library can efficiently handle the media inventory and accurately track the backup tapes. The data throughput speed of TL4000 library in native mode accelerates to 2.016 TB/hr, thus supporting the modern information systems and E-business applications.

The sensitive information can be robustly secured by encrypting the data files. To take advantage of the encryption functionality, you can use either LTO4 or LTO ultrium5 format. Therefore, you can enjoy complete peace of mind as the data cannot be used maliciously and regulatory compliance demands can be met in a cost-effective manner. In order to further enhance the compatibility, Dell has introduced Fiber channel, SAS and iSCSI drive connectivity options. So the I.T managers can be assured of exceptional compatibility and can fulfill their specific needs. The state-of-the-art technologies and superior performance of TL4000 library facilitates the companies to save on staff resources and deal with the growing storage demands, while improving the overall storage efficiency and reliability.
