| 1U appliance providing real time tape library monitoring and alerting | |
|---|---|
| Individual drive utilisation 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 utilisation, hard and soft errors correlated to drives and tapes as well as 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, customisable, multi-variable reports Identifies complex relationships that may impact system behaviour, saving operation and capital expenses Provides long-range data views to help project future budget and system needs |
