L5500 Tape Library
The StorageTek L5500 tape library is our largest open systems library product that can consolidate large open systems tape storage with nearly infinite scalability. The L5500 is designed to replace multiple small libraries with a single, easy to manage consolidated library that can scale up to 13.2 PB (native). It is virtually impossible to outgrow this library's capacity - or throughput of over 65 TB per hour. Along with ensuring high throughput to shrink backup windows and increase availability, it can be connected to a wide variety of servers and applications, and fine-tuned to keep pace with ever-changing business needs.
