Proactive Diagnostics and Monitoring
Quantums integrated iLayer management software gives end users an unmatched level of control over the backup process. It provides a server-class main controller, distributed control processors, and I/O blades, all linked by an embedded communications area network. The iLayer management software dramatically improves the manageability of the enterprise backup process by integrating advanced diagnostics services, library resource management, and I/O management inside the library. iLayer capabilities include native partitioning, true drive hot swap, proactive path verification and failover, media integrity analysis, drive usage reports, and relational diagnostic logic that provides easier, more certain, and faster issue resolution. A common iLayer management software approach extends across Quantums iLayer tape libraries and disk-based backup products, enabling end users to transition easily to next-generation backup solutions.

Integrates with Disk Backup
The Scalar i2000 leverages iLayer management software to integrate advanced diagnostic services, library resource management, and I/O management features inside the library.
SECURITY FRAMEWORK AND ENCRYPTION
Industry-Leading Library and Ecosystem Diagnostics
Quantums iLayer management software uses its exclusive relational diagnostic logic to automatically select, synchronize, store, and analyze data and make it proactively available to end users and the service team. The result is 50% fewer service calls, 30% faster issue resolution, and a library that is ready to backup and restore data whenever it is needed. The Scalar i2000s proactive diagnostic system is fundamentally different from reactive monitoring approaches. When a Scalar i2000 sensor is triggered, the library determines which subsystems are involved, automatically collects their log data, and proactively sends it to administrators and the service team. This relational diagnostics approach allows diagnosis to start immediately, even without an on-site visit, so issues are resolved faster and less time is spent managing them. Quantums StorageCare Guardian extends remote diagnostic capability to devices in the storage ecosystem around the library, and the libraries built-in media integrity analysis tools let users proactively track error rates associated with any piece of media.
The Quantum Security Framework enables customers to utilize industry standard encryption and key management solutions to protect their data and ensure regulatory compliance. The LTO-4 drive offers native encryption functionality giving customers strong AES 256 bit encryption and allowing them to take full advantage of drive performance and compression.
Unlike earlier generation libraries, the Scalar i2000 uses relational diagnostics to automatically select, gather, synchronize and analyze data from over 200 components in the library. The result is 50% fewer service calls and 30% faster issue resolution.
More Efficient And Reliable Backup In SANs
Leveraging the strength of Quantums SAN expertise, the Scalar i2000 was designed to increase the performance and reliability of backup in SAN environments. Its the first solution to provide unified management of the library, drives, and SAN connectivity. All can be managed by a single graphical interface accessible both locally and remotely.

Segmenting of back up infrastructure on the SAN reduces complexity and potential interference with primary data SAN. Each I/O blade in the Scalar i2000 supports up to four drives, reducing switch port and cabling requirements by up to 75%.
The Scalar i2000 provides end-to-end proactive path and fabric readiness checks, Fibre Channel port failover, and drive performance optimization for improved backup reliability and performance.
The Scalar i2000 proactively checks the data paths between all hosts and each drive in the library to ensure that the entire systemincluding fabric connectionsis ready to perform the backup. Its performance optimization technology delivers the highest possible drive performance within a SAN, and its blade-based I/O management unit aggregates drive connections, reducing switch port and cabling requirements by up to 75%.
Enterprise-Class Reliability/Availability/Serviceability
The Scalar i2000 provides RAS features designed to meet the availability requirements of consolidated enterprise backup. The librarys comprehensive drive management capabilities offer the industrys first true drive hot swap. When drives are changed, they present the same worldwide node name and serial number as the replaced drives, eliminating the need for library power cycling, software profile rebuilds, or backup server reboots. The library even automatically sets the firmware level of the new drive to match other drives in the library based on user-defined policies. With the Scalar i2000, full 2N power redundancy means that the library and all its drives are protected from any single point of failure in the power system. And its Fibre Channel port failover feature automatically routes data to a failover path if a library port, switch port, or the cabling connection between the switch and the library fails.
The local and remote user interface in the Scalar i2000 provides at-a-glance data on the status and performance of the library and major subsystems including drive, slot, configuration, mount, I/O, and capacity status.

Scales With Your Data And Your Budget
The Scalar i2000 takes advantage of Quantums industry-first scalability architecture: capacity-on-demand. Capacity-on-demand allows you to pay for only the capacity you need today, and easily plan for non-disruptive capacity upgrades as you grow. When you need more capacity, activation of additional 100 slot increments occurs simply by using a software key. To accommodate continual data growth, the Scalar i2000 expands to more than 3,400 LTO slots in a single library. Quantums linear expansion model means additional capacity can be added efficiently and cost effectively. Our barrier free, single robotics architecture provides the industrys highest levels of performance and reliability, eliminating the delays risks of pass-through ports.

Capacity-on-Demand

Base Unit with Extra Tape Slots
The Scalar i2000 always ships with extra tape slots that you can activate using a software key when you need additional capacity.
Additional Slots Activated
You simply order more tape slots in increments of 100.
Expansion Module Plus Additional Slots
Once you exceed the capacity of your current configuration, Quantum will deliver an expansion module free of charge.
Enterprise Proven Security For Your Valuable Data At Rest
To protect and secure your valuable data, the Scalar Key Management Appliance integrates directly with Quantums Scalar libraries to provide a simple, scalable security solution designed to work with LTO-4 encryption. It offers high-availability key management that can be integrated simply and seamlessly into existing backup architectures and is built to comply with FIPS 140-2 level 1, a security standard established by the US Federal Government and widely adopted outside of the United States. More information on Scalar Key Manager Appliance can be found by downloading the data sheet DS00406.pdf.
Quantums Exclusive Service Approach
Quantums enterprise service approach leverages the intelligence of Quantum solutions and advanced data access technology to provide faster and more certain resolution of even complex, system-wide backup issues. Quantums secure StorageCare Guardian technology provides Quantum service specialists remote interactive access to comprehensive diagnostic data from the library and surrounding storage ecosystem, including backup applications, switches, and HBAs. Unlike conventional approaches to service that demand more user time, delay resolution, and may fail to find the root cause of a problem, Quantums approach provides comprehensive service and support for the entire backup system, improving overall management, performance, and reliability.
