1U appliance providing real-time tape library monitoring and alerting
Individual drive utilization and performance metrics, as well as comparison across drives in a system Statistics correlating activity by drive and cartridge Supports LTO Ultrium, IBM Enterprise TS11x0 and other enterprise-class tape drives Tape or drive, read or write error correlation; drive-cleaning metrics
Policy-based alerting and reporting
Daily and weekly reporting on tape library system activity—load-balancing, drive performance and utilization, hard and soft errors correlated to drives and tapes, and alert activity Configurable alerts on potential data recovery issues, such as communication loss, degrading device conditions, stuck tape and excessive tape loads Accessible database of all monitored and derived statistics
ArchiveVerify optional feature
Enables users to ensure that the data written to tape media can be read for recovery or compliance audits Offers a completely automated process to validate media readability based on administrator-applied policies Verification procedures test the entire written length of written media with no disruption of existing operations, all while the data remains securely within the library
ReadVerify Advanced Reporting optional feature
Generates dynamic, customizable, multi-variable reports Identifies complex relationships that may impact system behavior, saving operation and capital expenses Provides long-range data views to help project future budget and system needs
