Dell PowerVault TL4000 Network Attached Storage Device For Small Offices

Dell PowerVault TL4000

Automated data protection

Regular, regular backups are a key part of a sound disaster recovery strategy. The PowerVaultTM TL4000 Tape Library is powerful enough to help organizations automate backup processing, reducing the need for manual intervention and the risk of human error. Its optical tape cassette positioning technology allows precise operation of the cassette and inventory to help improve the overall reliability of the backup.

To complement the development of Internet SCSI (iSCSI) storage area networks (SANs), Dell has adopted iSCSI to SAS bridge cards in the TL Series tape libraries (DellTM PowerVault TL2000 and TL4000).

Tapes can be imported or exported individually using the mailslot; you can also import or export 12 tapes at a time using one of the four magazines. The library uses barcode scanning technology to record the location of the tape media, so you can rest assured that your critical data can be properly stored and ready to use in the event of a disaster.

The library's native, user-friendly LCD interface allows you to easily monitor, manage, configure, and maintain your library. Even if you are not in the same location as the library, you can remotely manage all functions, including system status and logs, troubleshooting and drive operations, and configuration and inventory management.
Tape versatility
Tape versatility

The low cost and long-term reliability of tape helps ensure that it is continuously used for backup and archiving. The portability of the tape allows it to be carried out and stored in the data compartment. In addition, LTO tape technology supports Write One Read (WORM), a feature that allows data to be stored permanently and cannot be overwritten to meet compliance regulations.

Large capacity and small footprint

With its small body, the PowerVault TL4000 can store large amounts of information in a very small space. With just four units (4U) of rack space and up to 48 tapes, the library is ideal for small office environments that manage data explosions.
Tape is also environmentally friendly

If you have the characteristics and benefits of fine tape storage—such as reliability, portability, encryption, and long-term shelf life of tapes (more than 30 years) – it's the perfect solution for your long-term and short-term backups. Or archive requirements. In addition, after you store tape media, you don't need to use energy until you need to access it. The tape is “naturally” environmentally friendly because it does not require energy at all after storage.
