Quantum’s PX500 series of modular tape automation platform is now availbale.

The midrange automation family enables customers to meet scalability requirements within a platform, with far less complexity.

The PX500 Series – consisting of the PX502, PX506 and PX510 – offers independent rackmount systems of 4U, 10U and 18U (rack-unit). The systems are based on a common, modular architecture that allows customers the flexibility to mix and match rack density, capacity and performance, best meeting backup, recovery and archive needs today and into the future at an unmatched cost per gigabyte (GB).

The three systems of the PX500 Series – the PX502, PX506 and PX510 – are tailored for customers to standardize their tape-based backup, recovery and archive on a single platform. Each library has its own robotics and power for independent operation and utilises the same drive canisters, cartridge magazines and other key components to minimise parts and reduce complexity.

Additionally, the new tape libraries contain StorageCare Guardian, a secure, remote monitoring and diagnostic solution.
