Library Overview
®
The Spectra T200, T380, and T680 libraries are highly scalable, modular
libraries that provide unattended data storage, archiving, backup, and
retrieval for environments ranging from mid-sized PC workgroups to
multi-server networks. The unique TranScale™ modular design makes it
possible to increase capacity or number of drives in the library to meet the
storage and performance needs as they evolve within an organization.
This chapter provides an overview of the library features and components.
With the exception of the maximum number of drives, the total storage
capacity, and the number of Quad Interface Controllers (QIPs) or bus
expansion modules each supports, the T200, T380, and T680 libraries are
functionally and operationally identical. The differences between the
libraries are noted where appropriate.
