Description  Based on the iPlatform™-architecture the library integrates advanced backup functions to increase overall data protection, simplify management, reduce the need for external servers and software, and save users time and money over the life of their backup system.
The Scalar i500 offers industry-leading RAS features designed to meet the availability requirements of the most demanding midrange data centers. Hot swap drives are standard on all models. The library’s capacity-on-demand scalability provides non-disruptive growth from 41 to 409 tape positions. The single, continuous robotics system guarantees fast, reliable cartridge transfer under the widest possible range of conditions.
The iPlatform™- architecture and integral management software make backup easier to manage and give users more control over the process. Its proactive monitoring and remote diagnostics can reduce service calls by 50% and shorten issue resolution times by 30%. 		 The Scalar i2000 meets the unique challenges of SAN backup and improves your capabilities while reducing the resources needed to manage backup operations. The embedded intelligence of the Scalar i2000's unique iPlatform™- architecture enhances performance and reliability through a single management view that includes library, drives, and connectivity through the fabric. Data-path readiness checks, drive performance optimization, and connectivity failover work together to keep your backup running.
Scale your system to meet today's budgets while easily adding capacity down the road with the industry's most advanced scalability architecture - capacity-on-demand. Throughout, the Scalar i2000 meets the demands of today's data centers, with industry-leading density, rack-compatible form factor, and RAS features that include dual-redundant power, non-disruptive drive, power, and fan exchanges, and component-level fault isolation for faster, easier service.
