The L180 tape library has the capabilities you need today to meet your
growing storage demands tomorrow. Its combination of high-speed robotics,
support for multiple tape technologies, mixed-media support and a Web-based
monitoring interface allows you to do more with your information – and do it
with so much less. Less effort. Less space. Less equipment. And most
importantly, less money.
The L180 tape library is your long-term business asset. It is reliability you
can’t live without and capacity that extends across the enterprise. The L180
tape library puts the right information on the right device with the right
access at the right cost.
Business Benefits -
Tapes can be physically transported to a remote site or created electronically
with an L180 library at the remote location.
High-speed fixed content distribution systems can utilize the L180 library in a
disk-and-tape storage environment controlled by StorageTek® Application Storage
Manager® (ASM) software to reduce costs without impacting performance.

Applications
Disaster recovery -
The L180 library is an integral part of disaster recovery processes that
remotely vault data in tape form. Tapes can be physically transported to a
remote site or created electronically with an L180 library at the remote
location.
Fixed content distribution -
The L180 library can act as a high-volume source for fixed content data,
especially when outfitted with fast-access T9840 tape drives. High-speed fixed
content distribution systems can utilize the L180 library in a disk-and-tape
storage environment controlled by StorageTek® Application Storage Manager® (ASM)
software to reduce costs without impacting performance.
Archiving -
The L180 library is an efficient, high-capacity repository for archival data. It
can be combined with disk systems and ASM software to provide a tiered archival
system with performance and capacity customized to the archiving needs of the
application.
Backup and restore -
The L180 library, configured with tape drives and tape media, provides backup
and recovery for for mid-size and larger distributed, Open Systems, UNIX and
Windows NT environments. Backup and restore can be consolidated from multiple
smaller systems to reduce costs and simplify management.
Features and IT Benefits
Business continuance -
For greater uptime, tape drives, fans, power supplies are hot-swappable.
Uninterrupted and redundant power supplies are available. No routine maintenance
is required.
Improved operation -
With throughput rates as high as 2.88 terabytes per hour, the L180 library gives
you the speed you need to accelerate backup, restore and archiving.
Investment protection -
The L180 library’s Open Systems compatibility gives you a solution that will
work now and in the future. This library is a long-term business asset.
Easy management -
Intelligent software monitors and collects library statistics. Web-based access
allows easy remote monitoring. Streamlined management optimizes your use of
space and increases availability.
Mixed-media support -
Support of concurrent multiple tape drive technologies let you put the right
data on the right device at the right cost. Tape drive technologies include:
StorageTek T9840, and T9940, LTO Ultrium
Generations 2 and 3, SDLT.
SAN-readiness -
A SAN-ready solution, the L180 library provides two-gigabit Fibre Channel
connectivity and support for dynamic world wide naming (dWWN) for the library
and Fibre Channel drives.
4D robotics, digital vision system -
To keep information moving, the fast 4D robotics and digital vision system let
all applications read and write simultaneously, with more than 450 cartridge
exchanges per hour.
Fibre, Ultra SCSI interfaces -
The L180 library’s native Fibre Channel and Ultra SCSI interfaces provide the
right access, no matter what the job.
Software
StorageTek Automated Cartridge System Library Software (ACSLS Manager ™
software) -
