TapeMaster-LS 1:3 & 1:5 Appliance Solution for Mass Replication of Legacy Tapes

TapeMaster-LS 1:3 & 1:5 Appliance Solution for Mass Replication of Legacy Tapes

The TapeMaster-LS legacy SCSI based tape one-to-three and one-to-five Tape Duplicator is a standalone and easy to use and compact 4U rackmount or tabletop device capable of making copies of any SCSI based tape drive technology such as 8MM, 4MM DAT/DDS, DLT/SDLT, AIT tape cartridges.

Highlights

• Clones to all tapes at full speed concurrently
• Supports 8MM, 4MM DAT/DDS, DLT/SDLT, AIT & more
• Clones up to 5 target tapes in parallel from one source
• Independent of file system or operating systems
• Independent of backup software or tape format
• Plug-n-Play, user-friendly design - no training required
• Clone & Verify (native or compressed)
• Standalone tabletop or rackmount configurations

Standalone Offline Hostless Operation
No need to run your backup a second time just to get a duplicate set. TapeMaster-LS runs independent of
your backup server and does not require a computer or software and it is 100% standalone.

Round the clock cloning or migration
Continuously clone legacy tapes or migrate from one tape type to another tape drive technology without requiring cooling downtime. The user only needs to unload and reload tapes and go.

Incredible Speeds
Clones your tapes at extremely fast speeds efficiently and effortlessly. Simply insert your write-protected master and one or more write-enabled new blank tapes, then select Clone mode and your tapes will be duplicated at blazing speeds of up to 300MB/sec in native format or up to 2TB/hr with compression. At these speeds and with such ease of use, you no longer need to fiddle with deficient off-the-shelf software or tie up your server for days in order to get copies of your legacy tapes you need now.

Diagnostic Operation
Comes with a built-in self-diagnostic feature that checks system components and verifies all are in working order and can be run whenever the system is not processing a job.

Two Levels of Verification
Automatically performs verification during the cloning process and has the ability to perform a secondary level of verification if the user requires.

Plug and Play Operation
The TapeMaster-LS rapidly and reliably duplicates tapes. As a "plug-n-play" solution, simply plug in and select "Clone" from the built in LCD display. The TapeMaster copies tapes on a block-by-block basis, meaning it can duplicate any tape with 100% accuracy every time. It doesn't matter what kind of data is on the original master, the duplicator's job is to make sure all the data is transferred accurately from the master to each duplicate copy.

Future Proof Your Investment
TapeMaster-LS is ready for your project today and for future projects as well with its easy to upgrade architecture. No need to ship your duplicator back to us to upgrade to the latest. TapeMaster-LS is upgradeable via a built-in USB port. A firmware file is only an email away.

Universal Power Supply
The TapeMaster-LS features an auto switching, 115V - 230V universal power supply that can be used anywhere worldwide. Because the power supply is built in, you can use it in a rack (rack-mountable configurations) or on a tabletop without having to worry about an external power brick.

Applications For Various Markets
Just a few of the most popular uses and users of the TapeMaster duplication and migration systems include content archive and distribution for Digital Cinema, Government Agencies (i.e. Navy, Army, Air Force, Aerospace), Medical Imaging (i.e. EMR, PACS, DICOM), Information Technology, Digital Forensics, Mining, Video Production, Oil/Gas Exploration and Broadcast Industry.

Key Features and Benefits
