Affordable.Dell’s PowerVaultTM TL4000 Tape Library offers expandable and affordable tape automation for organisation whose data-protection needs have outgrown autoloader technology or capacity. It is the product of choice for small, medium and large businesses that require an affordable, versatile, easy-to-use, automated midrange tape backup solution.  Automated Data Protection   Regular, disciplined backup is a vital part of a complete disaster recovery strategy. The PowerVaultTM  TL4000 is a powerful tape library that helps organisations automate their backup processes to reduce the need for manual intervention and the risk of human error. The PowerVault TL4000 uses optical cartridge location technology for precision cartridge handling and inventory, which helps improve the overall reliability of backups.     Simplified Operations   Tapes can be imported and exported individually via a mail-slot or twelve-at-a-time using one of two magazines. The library utilizes barcode-scanning technology to record the location of tape media, so you can be assured that your critical data is properly stored and ready in case disaster strikes.     Intuitive Management   An on-board, user-friendly LCD interface allows you to easily monitor, control, configure, and service the library. While you are away, the tape library enables you to remotely administer all functions, including system status and logs, diagnostics and drive operations, as well as configuration and inventory management features.   Tape Versatility The comparative low cost for tape combined with its long history of proven reliability helps ensure its continued use for both backup and archiving. The portability of tape allows it to be taken off-site and stored in a vault. In addition, LTO-4 and LTO-3 tape technology supports WORM (Write-Once-Read-Many) capability which allows permanent data storage that cannot be overwritten – a requirement of many compliance regulations.   Big Capacity—Small Space   With its compact form-factor, the PowerVault TL4000 packs an impressive amount of information in a small amount of space. Occupying only four units (4U) of rack space, the library can hold up to 48 tapes providing up to 38.4TB (with Ultrium LTO-4 tapes) of native capacity—ideal for small office environments managing explosive data growth.   Ultrium LTO Performance   The PowerVault TL4000 supports up to four Ultrium LTO-4 drives—a high-speed tape technology that can natively back up an impressive 432GB of data per drive per hour for a maximum of 1.73 TB/hr with four drives. LTO technology is based on a tape industry standard that specifies backward read-and-write compatibility with LTO-4 & LTO-3 generation (n, n-1) media and read compatibility with LTO-2(n-2) media.  Height 4U form factor with rack mount railsStand Alone 7.29" (185.2 mm) Rack Mount 6.89" (175.2 mm)   Width Stand Alone 17.6" (447.5 mm) Rack Mount 17.6" (447.5 mm)   Length (Depth) Stand Alone 31.9" (810 mm) Rack Mount 29.13" (740 mm)   Weight 47 lbs. with one drive and no media   Orientation Horizontal only   Configurations Rack mount standard (desktop conversion kit included)   Supported Tape Drive Technologies LTO3 and LTO4   Server Compatability Dell and x86 IBM and HP ServersPlease refer to compatibility matrix for complete listing   Bar Code Reader Standard   Code Updates Web and either host buss or RMU for drives Web and RMU only for library code updates   Partitioning Supported   Expansion capacity Ships standard with 48 cartridge slots Additional LTO-4 SAS drive (new) available at £1800 ( less than 1/2 Dell's Price) for faster backups and added resilience     Carriage at cost quoted below for UK mainland which EXCLUDES Highlands and Islands.Buyers may collect from Finchley, North London.  VAT @ 17.5% INCLUDED IN PRICE - VAT INVOICE PROVIDED VAT IS NOT PAYABLE BY PURCHASERS OUTSIDE THE European Union (EU) AND by purchasers in the EU (excluding UK) who are VAT registered   International Delivery is with FedEx Any questions?
