Quantum StorNext AEL500 Tape Library

The StorNext AEL Archives use automated, policy-based tiering and cost-effective tape storage to deliver petabytes of data to users transparently through the file system. Customers that extending their StorNext file system with the StorNext AEL can migrate seldom-accessed data to inexpensive tape media that requires very little power, cooling, or floor space. StorNext AEL Archives ensure data integrity through policy-based Extended Data Life Management (EDLM). EDLM tests and verifies the media in the archive, provides health reports for all cartridges and automatically copies data from suspect cartridges to new ones. StorNext AEL500 Archives start as low as 30TB with the StorNext AEL500 Mini and can grow to over 1PB. The StorNext AEL6000 scales to nearly 18PB in over 7,100 slots of near-line storage.
