The
StorageTek® PowderHorn® 9310 tape library is the
enterprise library of choice in many of the world’s
largest data centers. Each silo can accommodate up to
1,200 terabytes native, which equates to approximately
2,400 terabytes for typical Open Systems applications
and 3,600 terabytes for mainframe applications. |

Applications |
Backup and restore
The high capacity PowderHorn 9310 library meets
the backup and restore needs of the largest
enterprise enterprises. Consolidating backup and
restore to a single library reduces costs,
simplifies management and improves reliability
of backup and restore processes. |
Archiving
The PowderHorn 9310 library is an efficient,
high-capacity repository for archival data. It
can be configured with multiple classes of tape
drives, and combined with disk systems and
StorageTek Application Storage Manager® (ASM)
software, to provide a tiered archival system
with performance and capacity customized to the
archiving needs of the application. |
Offline processing
The PowderHorn 9310 library configured with
fast-access T9840 tape drives provides a
cost-efficient option to disk for offline
processing applications. Batch processing
applications can share the PowderHorn library’s
large capacity, raising tape asset utilization. |
Disaster recovery
The PowderHorn 9310 library is an integral part
of site-wide disaster recovery processes that
remotely vault data in tape form. Tapes can be
physically transported to a remote site, created
electronically with a PowderHorn 9310 library at
the remote location, or created simultaneously
at both locations. |
|
|
Benefits |
Faster backup
Scale each library up to 960 tape drives for
over 100 terabytes per hour native throughput.
This performance helps you respond to rapid data
growth and shrinking backup windows. |
Higher resource utilization
With the addition of the StorageTek Virtual
Storage Manager® (VSM) system you can use nearly
100 percent of the capacity of your tapes,
unleashing the value trapped in under-utilized
tapes. |
Simplified management
Scalability to 28.8 petabytes per library allows
you to consolidate data in a single, centrally
managed library, easing the strain on your
over-burdened systems, budgets and IT staff. |
Cost-effective data consolidation
Platform neutrality enables you to share
business-critical information among Windows NT,
mainframe, UNIX and supercomputer systems—all
from a centralized source. |
|
|
Features |
Digital vision system
A unique digital vision system performs
continuous calibration and reads bar codes. |
Advanced robotics
The PowderHorn 9310’s unique non-linear,
360-degree rotational robotics system provides
excellent density and performance that scales
upward as capacity is added. |
Pass-through-port (PTP) system
The unique PTP system allows for up to 24
PowderHorn 9310 6,000-cartridge libraries to be
connected, to provide scalability to 144,000
slots for your growing storage requirements. |
Mixed-drive support
Use StorageTek T9840 or T9940 tape drives with
native ESCON, Fibre Channel and SCSI interfaces.
Support legacy 18- and 36-track systems with
StorageTek TimberLine™ 9490 drives. |
Number of tape drive, types
One to four drive frames per LSM (stand-alone)
One to two drive frames per LSM in a dense pack
configuration
Each drive frame can be any of the following:
One to twenty T9x40 drives per frame
Two to four TimberLine 9490 drives per frame |
Number of cartridge slots
2,000, 3,000, 4,000, 5,000, or 6,000 per library

|
Software |
|
StorageTek Automated Cartridge System
Library software (ACSLS Manager)
StorageTek ACSLS Manager™ software is a UNIX-based
library-management application for mainframe,
AS/400, UNIX and NT platforms. ACSLS Manager
software functions as the central service provider
for all library operations. It efficiently shares
library resources with any application on any
system. |
