Automated Archiving Made Easy

Available in configurations with either 24 or 48 tape slots, the Pro-Cache Library24 and Library48 Automation Appliances work with our Pro-Cache and Power-Cache models. Cache-A’s automated library option provides users with near-line archival capacity of up to 36 Terabytes in the 24 slot model and 72 Terabytes in the 48 slot model.

This convenient and easy to deploy library option automates cartridge loading for archiving, restoring and even cartridge spanning when archiving large projects.

In Pro-Cache deployments, the internal LTO drive is still available for accessing content on shelf stored cartridges while simultaneously archiving to the library. With one external tape drive and one tape drive in the library, Pro-Cache Library systems provide true dual drive system flexibility. Two LTO tape drives means concurrent access to both Library and Pro-Cache tape volumes for twice the archiving power. The LTO tape drive in the Pro-Cache is always available for restoring or archiving shelf-stored content and you can simultaneously archive or restore with the Library drive.

In Power-Cache deployments,the Library24 option can accommodate one or two LTO drives and the Library48 option can have as many as 4 dedicated LTO drives within the library system. External tape drives can also be added to complement Library drives in any combination up to 4 total LTO drives. These multiple drives can all be used simultaneously in archving, restoring, and dubbing functions for total flexibility and speed (up to 2 concurrently at full tape speed).
