XenData SX-550 LTO Archive Servers A series of archive servers based on IT standards, designed for ease of use, high performance and scalability.
XenData SX-550 Series Archive ServersNAS Architecture – storing on RAID and LTO 1Gb oor LTO Tape Library SX-550 Series server runs Windows Server and XenData6 Server software; includes RAID. Network Share over 1 GbE or 10 GbE
XenData SX-550 Series Archive ServersStandard Windows File System The XenData software virtualizes the RAID, LTO library and off-line LTO cartridges, presenting them as a single volume: Internal RAID LTO Library Externalized LTO + + = disk
XenData SX-550 Series Archive ServersBroad Application Compatibility • File/folder interface means the solution works with most applications – from MAMs to Windows Explorer • No need to load any special software on client computers. • Supports multiple simultaneous applications. Multiple LTO cartridge groups can be configured for each application by mapping folders to specific cartridge groups.
XenData SX-550 Series Archive ServersDesigned for Networks • NAS architecture makes it easy to deploy. • RAID cache delivers high performance in a network. • Interfaces via 1 GigE or 10 GigE. • Supports CIFS/SMB or FTP.
XenData SX-550 LTO Archive Servers • Fast Archiving • At the speed of RAID. • The system does not wait for LTO cartridges to be mounted.
XenData SX-550 LTO Archive Servers • Fast Restoring • The system restores queues of files in the shortest possible time. • Restore requests are processed to tape order to minimize unnecessary tape movement.
XenData SX-550 LTO Archive Servers • Partial Restore Capable • Allows a clip to be restored from LTO without need to restore the whole file.
XenData SX-550 LTO Archive Servers • Built-in Data Protection • The system will automatically create extra backup copies of LTO cartridges for offsite retention.
XenData SX-550LTO Archive Servers • Prevent Vendor Lock-In • LTO cartridges are written in either the exchange LTFS format or the open standard TAR format. • The use of a standard format prevents vendor lock-in – proprietary formats make it very costly to ever switch to another vendor.
XenData SX-550LTO Archive Servers • Industry Standard Security • The archive server integrates fully with the Microsoft security model based on Active Directory.
XenData SX-550LTO Archive Servers • Manage Unlimited Externalized Cartridges • The system manages any number of externalized cartridges, providing an unlimited total capacity. There are no license fees for externalized capacity. • When offline files are accessed, the system prompts with email alerts and on-screen notifications, identifying the cartridge that should be imported back into the system. • A range of different reports helps manage the entire archive including all externalized cartridges.
XenData SX-550LTO Archive Servers • Strong File Version Control • Accidentally over-wrote or deleted a file? • No problem; just select the file and restore deleted files or previous versions.
XenData SX-550LTO Archive Servers • Scale to Multiple Petabytes of Near-Line LTO • Scales to support multiple enterprise-class robotic libraries from a wide range of manufacturers including Dell, HP, IBM, Oracle, Overland, Quantum, Qualstar and Spectra Logic.
XenData SX-550LTO Archive Servers • High Availability Cluster Option Available • The SX-555 is a server cluster that provides high availability. When configured to manage two robotic libraries and mirror files across them, the system has no single point of failure.
XenData SX-550LTO Archive Servers • Worldwide Onsite Support • The server hardware comes with onsite support from HP which is available in most locations worldwide
