The Quantum Scalar

®

 i40 and i80 libraries are the easy-to-use tape libraries for 

the growing storage needs of small and medium-sized businesses, as well as 
remote office environments of larger enterprises. The Scalar i40 and i80 save 
time by simplifying everything from initial set-up and on-going management, 
to adding capacity over time.

The Scalar i40 and i80 include Quantum’s iLayer software which provides best-in-
class management and monitoring capabilities. iLayer software, shipped in over 
30,000 Quantum Scalar libraries, typically reduces library management time 
by more than 50%. iLayer’s easy-to-use interface can reduce business expense 
because it does not require a dedicated full time technical staff member to 
keep the library up and running smoothly and reliably.

iLayer includes proactive diagnostics, which has been shown to reduce service 
calls by 50%. Proactive diagnostics provide easy-to-understand messages with 
specific corrective actions, allowing users to avoid downtime and spend more 
time doing other things besides managing the tape environment.

Keeping up with data growth is simplified with the Scalar i40 and i80 tape 
libraries. The COD (capacity-on-demand) scalability feature enables the library’s 
capacity to grow on demand with users’ data—without disruption. Start with 25 
slots and scale up to 40 slots with Scalar i40 (50 slots up to 80 slots for Scalar 
i80) as your requirements grow, with a software license only—no hardware to 
purchase or install—providing market leading investment protection.

To keep your sensitive data or proprietary corporate intellectual property safe 
and to meet the increasing government requirements for compliance, both 
the Scalar i40 and i80 support the US Federal government recommended 
encryption standard for the highest levels of security. Tape encryption ensures 
your data is protected even while being stored offsite.

The Scalar i40 and i80 provide significant benefits over conventional entry-level 
tape automation products, including better investment protection and less time 
managing the tape environment. All this, with the confidence of knowing that 
over 30,000 Scalar libraries with iLayer software have shipped, makes the Scalar 
i40/i80 the intelligent choice.
