Applications

Backup and restore
The L20 library, configured with tape drives and tape media, provides backup and recovery in distributed Windows, Novell, Linux and UNIX environments.

Disaster recovery
L20 library backup tapes can be stored offsite, providing low-cost disaster protection in distributed Windows, Novell, Linux and UNIX environments.

 
Benefits
Ease of use
The included L20 Guided Install CD and plug-and-play features enable easy installation, configuration and use. Remote monitoring and diagnostic tools simplify management.
Easy expandability
As your needs grow, you can easily add drives or cartridges, change to new drive technologies or swap to a larger library at a reduced price.
Enhanced data protection
With its unmatched reliability and hands-free automation, the L20 library helps you keep Open Systems data protected and available.
Space, cost savings
With 10-20 cartridge slots and support for multiple tape technologies, the L20 library lets you store more data in less physical rack space, saving you both space and money.
 
Features
Standard features:
SAN-readiness
An embedded Fibre Channel router enables you to connect the L20 library to a storage area network for increased scalability, availability and shareability.
SNMP trap
An embedded SNMP agent facilitates network management and notification over an Ethernet connection.
Library Status Tool
This tool’s web-based remote diagnostic capabilities help you reduce operational costs and enhance reliability.
Adaptive media technology
Support for multiple tape drive technologies lets you mix and match tape technologies and migrate data seamlessly within the same library. The L20 library supports LTO Ultrium® Generations 1 and 2, SDLT 220, SDLT 320, DLT 8000.
Options:
