Scalable Tape Systems: An Ideal Solution For An Uncertain Economy

IT departments today have two distinct secondary storage options. Traditional monolithic systems, offering hundreds of slots, support hundreds of Terabytes of storage in a single platform. More recently, a variety of scalable, modular tape systems have been introduced. These systems support up to 120 slots in a building block-like approach. This white paper explores where these different solutions offer the best fit for your secondary storage needs. In particular, it will examine how the unique attributes of scalable storage systems offer significant advantages in entry-level enterprise environments.
