Our TLS-6000 Series Automated Tape
Libraries offer superior performance and value for DLT
and SuperDLT tape users. With capacities from 1.6
terabytes to over 144 TB, the TLS-6000 Series
economically and reliably automates DLT-based
applications, whether backing up a single server or as
an integral part of an enterprise-wide storage
management solution.
The TLS-6000 family comprises six models, providing a
broad range of cost-effective solutions. Housing one to
eight SuperDLT 600, SuperDLT 320 or DLT 8000 tape drives
and up to 240 tapes, TLS-6000 multi-drive library models
readily support concurrent reading and writing. Data
transfer rates can exceed 1.8 terabytes per hour to meet
the throughput needs of today's rapidly-growing
networks.
The SANSmart Fibre Channel Option supports LAN-free
and serverless backup using the latest 2Gb SAN
technologies.
All TLS-Series libraries are available with Q-Link,
Qualstar’s web browser accessed remote library manager
that enables administrators to configure, upgrade, and
monitor any TLS-Series tape library via a company
intranet or over the internet from anywhere in the
world. Q-Link extends the library’s comprehensive
front panel menu system and adds additional
functionality such as automatic e-mail notification
based on rules set by the administrator, and firmware
updates can be implemented remotely.
The TLS-6000 Series also offers advanced features
such as barcode scanning of tape cartridges, and an I/O
Port for importing and exporting individual tapes under
application control.
Q-Link Developed for the RLS-Series libraries,
VIOP is now
incorporated in every TLS model. An exclusive Qualstar
design feature, VIOP, Variable I/O Port, allows users to
match the number of I/O slots to their operational
requirements. Applications are not constrained by limits
imposed by libraries with a fixed number of I/O slots.
Users can assign the number of slots to best match their
requirements. VIOP compliments the hardware I/O Ports
which continue to be included or available in all
models.
Logical Library is built into every SCSI TLS-Series
library. It allows up to four servers to share a single
library via a SCSI interface, even if each server is
running a separate application. Systems that you
couldn’t afford to upgrade can now be protected
automatically. Support for multiple SCSI busses is also
built-in to maximize throughput in direct-attach
architectures.
Qualstar is known worldwide for quality and
reliability. All electrical and mechanical adjustments
have been eliminated for easy installation and enhanced
reliability. Tape drive reliability is improved by
providing individual fans for each drive to insure
proper cooling. Filtered, positive air pressure is
maintained throughout the library to reduce
contamination.
Providing built-in capacity and performance growth is
a hallmark of all Qualstar TLS-Series automation
families. All drive bays are pre-wired: users can easily
install additional tape drives for increased throughput.
Field upgrade kits are also available to double the tape
capacity of some models.
Founded in 1984, Qualstar has been designing and
manufacturing tape automation products since 1994.
Offering over 30 models for AIT, SAIT, DLT and LTO
formats, our TLS-Series families consistently set
industry standards for quality, performance and value.
