ADIC Scalar 100

Rack-optimized, mid-range library with enterprise-class features.

The Scalar 100 is a mid-range library that offers a powerful combination of industry-leading density, trouble-free scalability, and advanced storage networking technology.

This capacity-packed system is the first tape library to deliver a storage density of 2TB¹ per rack unit. In fact, a standard rack cabinet can hold three Scalar 100s, giving you over 86TBs of capacity in a very compact space.

Highly scalable, the Scalar 100 can grow from 15 to 96 tapes and from 1 to 8 drives. Adding capacity is easy. Upgrades take less than 10 minutes and don't require changing your rack system or adding external elevators or pass-through ports.

The Scalar 100's storage networking options enable iSCSI or Fibre Channel (FC) connectivity for today's backup consolidation needs. An FC option provides intelligent features to improve SAN backup performance and reliability. An iSCSI option provides an easy-to-implement connectivity choice that lets servers share a single library over standard ethernet.

The Scalar 100 supports LTO, SDLT/DLT, or AIT technology.
