Inspur recently launched a new physical tape library TL3000, which can provide seamless expansion of up to 3.5PB, density of 74.7PB/m3 and performance of 81TB/s (LTO-6 drive) per 1U of rack space, leading the industry in the same product.

“Today, cloud computing and big data are rapidly becoming popular. Breakthrough growth of data has led to a rapid increase in IDC Construction Investment (CAPEX). The consequent increase in OPEX, such as power and cooling, has increased the financial burden on companies. Risks and burdens, however, survey data shows that over 95% of data may not be accessed again after 90 days of creation and become cold data, such as media data (traditional media, self-media), social records, e-commerce, historical archives, etc. ."

Zhou Junjie, general manager of Inspur Storage Products Division, stated, “In this case, Inspur believes that tape is still the most economical storage medium for long-term data storage and archiving. The new TL3000 library launched this time can be used with flash memory, disk arrays and other devices. Convergence, automatic data classification, and agile, simple and reliable cold storage solutions.”

Seamless expansion, purchase on demand, reducing investment pressure

The TL3000 can seamlessly expand to 7 modules without interrupting services. A single module can support six half-height drives and 80 tape slots, and the TL3000 can have a capacity of up to 3.5PB.

The TL3000 uses SAS or Fibre Channel drives and can achieve up to 60.4TB/h transfer speed (assuming an LTO-6 with a data compression ratio of 2.5:1), saving storage or backup time.

When the data grows significantly, there is no need to remove and replace the original equipment. Just buy the tape as needed, which protects the company's initial investment. In addition, the Inspur TL3000 can share the drive with the Inspur low-end tape library TL1000 and TL2000, and supports 560 tape slot extensions. There is no license authorization limit to maximize the protection of corporate investments.

At the same time, the width and depth of the cabinet of the Inspur TL3000 tape library is: 26.8cm x 47.5cm. Capacity per square meter up to 74.7PB, speed up to 1.259PB / hour, to solve the problem of the enterprise computer room space.

Reduce manual interventions and manage transparency

Inspur TL3000 tape library utilizes automatic, integrated and simplified data protection and archiving, which not only releases the human resources of the company, but also avoids the errors caused by human intervention, further increasing the profits of the enterprise. The TL3000 has a touch operator control panel with wizard functionality for easy installation and configuration. With a standard barcode reader and removable tape cartridge, enterprise IT administrators can consolidate and manage media inside and outside the tape library. In addition, the TL3000 supports LTFS technology to ensure that tapes can be easily accessed and shared like a disk; long-term saved data and files can be retrieved directly from the TL3000 without the aid of backup software or hardware.

At the same time, with a unique Web-based Inspur physical tape library remote management and diagnostic tool, enterprise IT administrators can manage, configure, and use tape libraries from any location, and can actively and intelligently monitor the utilization of tape libraries, drives, and media. Operating performance, overall life and operating conditions. Moreover, the capacity and performance of a TL3000 is equivalent to multiple small and medium tape libraries, allowing companies to avoid the manpower and complexity required to manage multiple machines.

Multiple encryption technology + redundant design to protect data security

Inspur TL3000 uses multiple security encryption functions to ensure the security of data in corporate tapes. Even if tapes are stolen, data will not be stolen. For enterprise-level encryption protection, the TL3000 also supports encryption key servers.

Inspur TL3000 power supply uses a redundant design to ensure that the failure of a tape or drive does not cause the entire library to crash. If there are other drives in the system and the drive is not partitioned to a specific application host, the backup task can be continued by other good drives; if a tape is damaged, the tape itself has certain fault tolerance, and the damaged area can be restored by itself. Data, if the entire tape is completely damaged, the data on the damaged tape can be backed up again by using backup log information of the backup software.

Economic + efficient, lower TCO for customers

The TL3000 meets the needs of traditional enterprise data backup, disaster recovery, and long-term archiving. At the same time, because the TCO is very low and the tape price is only half to one-tenth the price of other non-volatile storage media, energy consumption is also extremely advantageous. The TL3000 is the underlying core storage device for cold data solutions in large-scale cloud data centers. .

"Inspur data protection products have a good reputation in the market. Compared with previous years, sales and sales of the Inspur data protection products have increased substantially. Sales volume has increased by 100%, and sales have increased by 138.7%."

Zhou Junjie said, “Now, the addition of the TL3000 tape library will help companies address short-term and long-term storage, backup, or archiving needs and respond to unforeseen developments, services, or changes. At the same time, the TL3000 can share other Inspur storage products and data protection products. And storage software portfolio to form a cold data solution for large-scale cloud data centers to reduce TCO for customers.”
