The Quantum Scalar® i80 library is an easy-to-use tape library for the growing storage needs of small and medium-sized businesses, as well as remote office environments of larger enterprises. The Scalar i80 saves time by simplifying everything from initial set-up and on-going management, to adding capacity over time.

The Scalar i80 include Quantum’s iLayer software which provides best-inclass management and monitoring capabilities. iLayer software, shipped in over 30,000 Quantum Scalar libraries, typically reduces library management time by more than 50%. iLayer’s easy-to-use interface can reduce business expense because it does not require a dedicated full time technical staff member to keep the library up and running smoothly and reliably.

iLayer includes proactive diagnostics, which has been shown to reduce service calls by 50%. Proactive diagnostics provide easy-to-understand messages with specific corrective actions, allowing users to avoid downtime and spend more time doing other things besides managing the tape environment.

Keeping up with data growth is simplified with the Scalar i80 tape library. The COD (capacity-on-demand) scalability feature enables the library’s capacity to grow on demand with users’ data—without disruption. Start with 50 slots and scale up to 80 slots with Scalar i80 (20 slots up to 40 slots for Scalar i40) as your requirements grow, with a software license only—no hardware to purchase or install—providing market leading investment protection.

Scalar i80To keep your sensitive data or proprietary corporate intellectual property safe and to meet the increasing government requirements for compliance, the Scalar i80 supports the US Federal government recommended encryption standard for the highest levels of security. Data encryption ensures your data is protected even while being stored offsite.

The Scalar i80 provides significant benefits over conventional entry-level tape automation products, including better investment protection and less time managing the backup environment. All this, with the confidence of knowing that over 30,000 Scalar libraries with iLayer software have shipped, makes the Scalar i80 the intelligent choice.
