StorageTek Main
StorageTek® TimberLine® 9490 Cartridge Subsystem
Large,
data-intensive applications and large batch/backup workloads dragging you down?
The 9490 cartridge subsystem provides the capacity and speed you need. The
addition of a high-capacity cartridge loader and stacker brings you the
StorageTek TimberLine 9490 M44 cartridge subsystem, effective for older
environments with manual cartridge operations.
- Eliminate traditional queuing delays with the Controller Transport Unit (CTU).
- Exceptionally fast tape recall capabilities.
- Vital component redundancy ensuring reliability and availability
The
StorageTek® TimberLine® 9490 cartridge subsystem is a high-performance 36-track
tape subsystem ideal for data-intensive applications and large batch/backup
workloads.
Tape Matrix
9490 loads twice as fast as all other 36-track tape drives and is 40% faster
searching to midtape. This level of performance makes 9490 an excellent choice
for attaching to a StorageTek automated cartridge system library.
- Eliminate bottlenecks. The control unit has both channel-side and
device-side microprocessors for enhanced throughput.
- Shorten search time. Speedy mechanicals enable four-second lead
times and improve search time by 33 percent.
- High cartridge capacity. A single cabinet has four, 36-track
cartridge transports, four high-capacity cartridge stacker loaders and four
semi-automatic subsystems.
- Connect fast and wide. Native ESCON and SCSI-2 channel speeds.
- Use double-capacity long media. Extended Enhanced Tape (EETape)
cartridges double the industry standard 36-track capacity
- (1.6 GB vs. 800 MB uncompressed).
- Avoid maintenance downtime. All vital components are redundant,
ensuring reliability, availability and serviceability.
