Thank you for purchasing the SymplyPRO XTL 40
The SymplyPRO XTL 40 is highly scalable 3U modular library for managing growing data sets. All the XTL 40 installations begin with the 3U Base Module, with capacity for 40 tape cartridges and 3 half-height LTO tape drives. The tape drives can be either SAS or Fibre Channel (FC), or the XTL-40 can be installed with SymplyPRO XTL Ethernet Module(s) with dual 10Gb Ethernet (iSCSI) that converts up to 4 x SAS drives per Ethernet Module to iSCSI. Each XTL Ethernet Module occupies a single LTO drive slot.
The XTL 40 is expandable, allowing a user to grow their tape storage capacity as their data requirements increase. As data storage needs grow, the XTL-40 can also grow by adding one or more 3U Expansion Modules. Each Expansion Module provides an additional 40 tape cartridges and supports an additional 3 half-height LTO tape drives. Up to 15 Expansion Modules can be added to a Base Module, bring the total library capacity to 640 tape cartridges and 48 half-height LTO tape drives.
