Simple, automated, affordable

Simplicity from the start

You know the value, convenience, and security that tape libraries bring to backup and archive strategies — and now, Dell puts it all within the reach of your organization. Dell™ PowerVault™ TL2000 tape library offers simple and affordable tape automation for organizations whose data-protection needs have outgrown autoloader technology. It is the solution of choice for small and medium businesses that require affordable, easy-to-use, automated tape backup.

PowerVault TL2000 tape libraries are compact, easily customerinstallable, and connect to a server or a SAN. The PowerVault TL2000 features an intuitive operator control , plus remote web management — you can perform setup and diagnostics, check status, monitor operations and logs, and upgrade firmware all from any standard web browser.

Now your organization can enjoy the benefits of hands-off, around-the-clock operation. With an ease and cost-effectiveness not available in tape autoloaders, you can help free up IT resources, minimize human error, back up data quickly and predictably, create offsite archive copies of data to meet compliance requirements, and bolster your disaster-recovery strategy.

Help free up resources and improve reliabilty Free yourself from the inconvenience of manual involvement in backup, recovery and archive. Dell PowerVault TL Series tape libraries contain multiple slots for storing tape media and use a robotic mechanism to move media automatically allowing for unattended and independent operation. To keep contents properly organized, a bar code reader inventories and tracks all tapes stored in the library. PowerVault TL2000 tape libraries feature an optical cartridge-location technology for precise cartridge handling and inventory.

Many data-protection challenges–one simple solution The PowerVault TL2000 tape library enables two critical dataprotection activities: backup and archive. Backup: Create onsite backup copies of data, using the rewritable functionality of LTO media. Many industry-standard backup software offerings are tested and validated to run smoothly on TL series tape libraries. Archive: Create permanent, portable archive copies of data using WORM (Write Once, Read Many) capability. WORM enables you to create data copies that cannot be overwritten, to help you comply with government and industry data-protection requirements. Tape media is easily portable — it lets you affordably archive your important data offsite to enhance your disaster-recovery strategy.

The right capacity and features for your organization The PowerVault TL2000 tape library is delivered ready to rack mount, and packs tremendous capacity into a small package: up to 144TB in only two units of rack space. The PowerVault TL2000 tape library is a 2U solution that holds up to 24 tapes for a native capacity of up to 144TB with LTO-7 tape drives and media. LTO-7 backs up a staggering 1080GB per hour per drive or 2160GB per hour with two drives, making the PowerVault TL2000 tape library ideal for growing data-protection needs. Library Managed Encryption is available with LTO-4 and later generation technology for added security. The PowerVault TL Series also retains the backward read-and-write compatibility with the prior generation of LTO and read compatibility with two generations back.

Dell PowerVault TL2000 tape library changes the economics of storage If your backup requirements have outgrown autoloader technology, the PowerVault TL2000 tape library is the ideal next step. Now you can enjoy the ease and affordability of an autoloader with the performance, capacity, and reliability of a tape library.

for your Dell iSCSI SAN To supplement the growth in iSCSI SANs, Dell has introduced an iSCSI-to-SAS bridge card for the PowerVault TL2000 and TL4000 LTO-4, LTO-5 and LTO-6 tape libraries. This solution allows s to add in a tape backup target to an iSCSI 1Gb Ethernet SAN (limited to a transfer speed of 90Mb/s in most cases).
