Description With an 18-cartridge capacity and one or two DLT drives, the Scalar 218 is a compact tape library designed to handle the high-performance backup tasks facing growing data centers. Dual DLT tape drives provide double throughput, concurrent read/write operations, and continuous processing. The high-performance robotics offer quick, 35-second initialization and 10-second average media exchange time. The Scalar is highly reliable even during the heaviest use. The integrated barcode reader and media import/export slot provide advanced media management capability. The Scalar 218 is available in both desktop and rackmount versions.
