Thank you for purchasing the SymplyPRO XTL 8 or XTL 24 tape library.
The SymplyPRO XTL 8 Tape Autoloader provides a compact, high-capacity, low-cost solution for simple, unattended data backups and archives. This unique design houses up to 8 tape cartridges in a compact 1U form factor with easy access to tape cartridges via two removable magazines and a mail slot. The magazines can hold up to 4 (left magazine including mailslot) cartridges. The library supports one LTO half-height tape drives with SAS or Fibre Channel (FC) connectivity.
SymplyPRO XTL 24 is a compact, automated LTO tape library designed for simple, high-capacity backup and archive workflows. In a 2U form factor it houses up to 24 cartridges via two front-accessible, removable magazines (left magazine with mailslot and right magazine), each holding up to 12 cartridges for fast media handling. The library supports one or two LTO half-height tape drives with SAS or Fibre Channel (FC) connectivity. Devices are presented using multiple LUNs so that the tape drive(s) and the library robotics are visible to the host separately.
Optional connectivity modules extend deployment flexibility for XTL24:
- SymplyPRO XTL Ethernet Module — dual 10 GbE (iSCSI) bridging for SAS-attached drives. In the XTL 24, the module occupies the top drive bay, so the library supports one LTO drive when installed.
- SymplyPRO XTL Thunderbolt Module — dual Thunderbolt 3 (one host, one daisy-chain) for direct attachment. In the XTL 24, the module also occupies the top drive bay, so the library supports one LTO drive when installed.
SymplyPRO XTL 8 and 24 are compatible with most operating systems that support SAS or FC. To leverage advanced library features, use an operating system with a compatible medium-changer driver or a supported backup/archive application.
