XenData SX-10 LTO Archive ApplianceBroad Application Compatibility

File/folder interface means the solution works with most applications – from MAMs to Windows Explorer to Finder.

No need to load any special software on client computers.

Supports multiple simultaneous applications. Multiple LTO cartridge groups can be configured for each application by mapping folders to specific cartridge groups.

XenData SX-10 LTO Archive ApplianceDesigned for Networks

NAS architecture makes it easy to deploy.

Disk cache delivers high performance in a network.

Interfaces via 1 GigE.

Supports CIFS/SMB or FTP.

XenData SX-10 LTO Archive ApplianceSupport Windows, Mac and FTP Clients – plus local transfers

Windows, Mac and FTP clients are natively supported.

Locally the archive volume appears as a logical drive letter.


Fast Archiving

At disk speed.

The system does not wait for LTO cartridges to be mounted.


Fast Restoring

The system restores queues of files in the shortest possible time.

Restore requests are processed to tape order to minimize unnecessary tape movement.


Partial Restore Capable

Allows a clip to be restored from LTO without need to restore the whole file.


Built-in Data Protection

The system will automatically create extra backup copies of LTO cartridges for offsite retention.


Prevent Vendor Lock-In

LTO cartridges are written in either the exchange LTFS format or the open standard TAR format.

The use of a standard format prevents vendor lock-in – proprietary formats make it very costly to ever switch to another vendor.


Industry Standard Security

The archive appliance integrates fully with the Microsoft security model based on Active Directory.


Manage Unlimited Externalized Cartridges

The system manages any number of externalized cartridges, providing an unlimited total capacity. There are no license fees for externalized capacity.

When offline files are accessed, the system prompts with email alerts and on-screen notifications, identifying the cartridge that should be imported back into the system.

A range of different reports helps manage the entire archive including all externalized cartridges.


Strong File Version Control

Accidentally over-wrote or deleted a file?

No problem; just select the file and restore deleted files or previous versions.


Scale to 225 TB of Near-Line LTO

Scales to support robotic libraries from a wide range of manufacturers including Dell, HP, IBM, Oracle, Overland, Quantum and Qualstar.
