TapeMaster-SA48 1-to-4 48 Slot LTO Tape Mass Duplication System
TapeMaster-SA48 is the perfect solution if you need to replicate hundreds or thousands of LTO tapes very quickly without the need to hire an additional employee. Powerful and advanced enough to clone any LTO tape regardless of generation, operating system, filesystem, block-size, tape density or platform. Yet is easier to use than your average photocopier. All while being fully automated and does not require a computer.
Highlights
- Up to 2TB per hour Cloning speeds
- Clone or Erases up to 4 LTO Tapes in Parallel
- Clones up to 48 tapes without user intervention
- Standalone 6U rackmount configuration
- Independent of file system or operating systems
- Independent of backup software or tape format
- Clone, Verify (native or compressed)
- No Host Computer or Application Software Required
Standalone Offline Hostless Operation
TapeMaster-SA48 runs independent of your server and does not require a computer or software application as it is 100% standalone.
Round the clock cloning
The TapeMaster-SA48 will mass replicate or migrate from older generation LTO to the latest Ultrium technology with lights out operation. User only needs to unload and reload on average once every 24-48 hours.
Easy Operation/Media Management
Place up to 48 blank media in the Automated Tape Library (ATL) and your source LTO tape media in the source tape drive prior to initiating cloning operation. Cloning operation can include user selectable slot to slot or barcode to barcode.
Diagnostic Operation
TapeMaster-SA48 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-SA48 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-SA48 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-SA48 is upgradeable via a built-in USB port. A firmware file is only an email away.
Universal Power Supply
The TapeMaster-SA48 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
- High speed: our system can reduce your duplication time significantly.
- Ease of use: powerful yet requires almost no training at all.
- Ability to duplicate simultaneously.
- Allows you to clone your backups for off site storage, archiving or sending copies to others.
- Gives you the ability to move existing tape data from one tape format to another.
- Migrate and refresh your data from older tapes to new tapes.
- Transfer your data from tapes of small capacity to tapes of larger capacities and add (append) more data to the new tape using up excess capacity.
- Create a duplicate copy of any tape with any tape format to an alternate tape type.
- Make a copy of a tape to take off site; allows the user not to have to run a complete backup two times in a row.
- Mass duplication of LTO tapes for distribution of multimedia content (videos/Films) instead of using less reliable hard disk drive technology.
- Completely Standalone Operation: No PC required to operate duplicator
- Duplication of digital cinema master tapes for distribution
- Duplication of digital forensic master tapes before they are analyzed in order to maintain evidence integrity
- Automatic speed recognition for most optimal performance
- User friendly interface with 'easy-to-read' LCD display: offers easy to recognize and use terms and operations on the LCD display for simple usage.
- Power on Self diagnostics: Keeps the duplicator functioning optionally
- Future functions upgradeable through firmware: Duplicator able to upgrade future software updates via Firmware
- Continuous copying without waiting for cool down: No need to stop the duplicator for fear of overheating
With today's vastly different tape formats and the accessibility of various drives in the market, you can easily migrate from any tape format to any other tape format with the use of the TapeMaster system.
