Qualstar Quality and Reliability
Qualstar has eliminated all electrical and mechanical adjustments to make installation easy and to enhance reliability. Tape drive reliability has been improved with the addition of individual fans for each drive to ensure proper cooling. Filtered, positive air pressure is maintained throughout the lto tape libraries to reduce contamination.
Built-In Growth PotentialCapacity and performance growth is built-in to Qualstar's LTO tape libraries. All drive bays are pre-wired, allowing users to easily install additional tape drives for increased throughput. Field upgrade kits are also available to double the tape capacity of the TLS-8211, TLS-8433 and TLS-88132.
Featuring Q-Link Remote Library Manager
All TLS-8000 series libraries are available with Q-Link, Qualstar’s web browser accessed remote library manager that enables administrators to configure, upgrade, and monitor any tape library via a company intranet or over the Internet from anywhere in the world. Q-Link extends the library’s comprehensive front panel menu system and adds additional functionality such as automatic e-mail notification based on rules set by the administrator, and firmware updates can be implemented remotely.
VIOP (Variable I/O Port)
VIOP (Variable I/O Poet) has been incorporated into all LTO tape libraries. An exclusive Qualstar design feature, VIOP allows users to match the number of I/O slots to their specific operational requirements. Applications are not constrained by limits imposed by libraries with a fixed number of I/O slots. Users can assign the number of slots to best match their requirements. VIOP compliments the hardware I/O Ports which continue to be included or available in all TLS-8000 models.
Other Advanced Features
Qualstar's LTO tape libraries also offer advanced features such as Logical Library and barcode scanning of tape cartridges. An I/O Port is included in several TLS-8000 models for importing and exporting individual tapes under application control.
