2016: Quantum Scalar i3 и i6
On December 13, 2016 the DSCon company announced availability of tape libraries of the Quantum Scalar i3 and Scalar i6 family.
The tape library Quantum Scalar i3 is created for computing environments of the small and average size. Scalar i3 can be scaled from 25 to 200 slots or the 3rd petabyte (LTO-7 with compression), in the device of a form factor 12U. Scaling is executed by means of adding to three expansion units, each of which supports up to 50 slots and up to 3 tape drives, to the control module and also using COD technology (to "capacity-on-requirement" — capacity-on-demand). In total in library it can be installed up to 12 tape drives of half height of LTO-7 or LTO-6 with[1].
The tape library Quantum Scalar i6 is created for use in corporate data centers taking into account the heaviest loadings. Scalar i6 extends up to 800 slots and 24 LTO-7 or LTO-6 drives with interface 8Gb Fibre Channel using adding to seven expansion units, each of which also supports up to 50 slots and up to 3 tape drives. Thanks to a possibility of expansion in one rack (48U) to the 12th petabyte (4.8 petabyte of uncompressed data) Scalar i6 is suitable for long storage of media content, records from surveillance cameras and archives of unstructured data.
Scalar iLayer which is built in by software of management simplifies management and reduces a downtime and also provides the optimized service of libraries thanks to modern, to the intuitive interface of the user. Besides, thanks to the integrated verifiabilities of integrity of data on the basis the politician, the automated moving of tapes to alternative storage (Active Vault) and comprehensive monitoring of a system, data will be available always.
2012: Scalar LTFS
The Quantum corporation announced in April, 2012 an exit of the first storage system on the tape supporting the Linear Tape File System specification. This standard allows to provide access to the files stored on tape cartridges using regular means of operating systems, for example, through Windows "conductor".
The Quantum system received the name Scalar LTFS. In network it can work as the normal NAS device available under the NFS or CIFS protocols. Scalar LTFS also supports the Quantum StorNext file system accelerating shared access of several servers to the same array of drives in network of storage.
Quantum claims that Scalar LTFS can be applied to storage of images in private and public clouds when insignificant increase in time of access to files is admissible.
Scalar LTFS allows to organize work with tape archives up to 10 PBytes in size. A system will go on sale in several configurations in June. Its minimum price will be 15 thousand dollars.
