L1400

Reduce risk
Boost your flexibility for managing, monitoring and controlling your tape library backup applications so you can react quickly to changing business conditions.

Reduce cost
Purchase the only capacity your business needs today and add incremental storage over time. Increase asset utilization and staff efficiency with improved management and monitoring capabilities in an integrated solution footprint.

Improve service levels
Through soft partitioning capability, you can share the L1400M with multiple applications and change partitions quickly and easily, thereby avoiding service interruptions. Tackle consolidation projects with confidence.

Improve backup success rates
Monitor your entire backup infrastructure — drives, library assets and switches — centrally from a single console. Identify reasons, such as hardware or software errors, for backup failures. Save valuable time using historical trend analysis to forecast capacity and media needs.

Simplify tape technology choices
Support multiple drive technologies and ease the transition to new tape technologies. Tune the system to your application mix, using StorageTek's high-performance T9840 and high-capacity T9940 tape drives, Super DLT and LTO Ultrium.

L700e

Increase capacity
A unique pass-through-port (PTP) allows two L700e tape libraries to be connected for a maximum capacity of 1,344 cartridge slots.

Embrace change
StorageTek's Any Cartridge Any Slot technology allows the L700e tape library to handle multiple tape drive technologies, including StorageTek's T9840 and T9940, as well as DLT, SDLT and LTO Ultrium1 tape drives. Multiple cartridge types are accommodated, so you never have to change tape slots, software or robotics.

Leverage resources
The L700e tape library lets all your applications read and write simultaneously, and multiple applications can share its large data pool thanks to StorageTek's 4D Robotics technology and digital vision system.

Increase availability
A native 2-gigabit Fibre Channel optical interface combined with StorageTek's T9840 and T9940 tape drives provides a leading-edge, all-Fibre Channel solution with dynamic worldwide naming capability.
