ArGest® TGL6800 80-540 Tape Slots, 1 up to 42 Drives Library with BRU Server™ Software
Model TGL6800 – 80-540 Tape Slots with One to Forty Two Drives per unit FLEX+ Library
The 6U TGL6800 FLEX+ 80-540 tape slot expandable library is the best option for customers looking for storage that will scale with their growing needs over time. Each TGL6800 FLEX+ base model starts at 80 tape slots and one drive.
The TGL6800 library measures 10.55 x 18.7 x 35.1" (26.8 x 47.5 x 89.2 cm).
When filled with 80 tapes, the LTO-8 model will hold 960TB of data before requiring a tape change, the LTO-7 model will hold 480TB native, and the LTO-6 model will hold 200TB. A fully expanded TGL6800 FLEX+ will hold up to 6.48PB native, 3.24PB native LTO-7, and 1.35PB native LTO-6.
TOLIS Group recommends Fibre Channel for this device if you are planning expansion units and multiple tape drives to be installed.
TGL6800 items are special order items and are not cancellable once ordered.
In addition to the expanded tape and drive capacity, the TGL6800 uses a new generation of robotics so both initialization and tape change time is dramatically reduced.
Tape changes are in the 40 sec range (compared to over 2 minutes for TGL2240 and TGL4480 units) and the slot contents scan initialization for the 80 slots is less than 1/3 the time to scan the 48 slot contents of the TGL4480.
