The XenData X1500 LTO-5 Digital Archive System provides cost
effective archiving of video files to LTO data tape. The solution
runs on a Windows 7 desktop or tower computer and provide almost
infinite storage, saving files to LTO tape using the industry
standard tar format.
The X1500 System includes the following:
◊ External HP LTO-5 drive ◊ XenData6 Workstation
software ◊ PCI-e card to be installed in the
Windows7 workstation ◊ SAS cable that connects the tape drive
to the PCI-e card (2m in length) ◊ Universal LTO cleaning cartridge
XenData6 Workstation software provides high performance
archiving to and restoring from LTO data tape using Windows
Explorer. It supports one or more LTO tape drives attached to a
Window 7 computer and manages an unlimited number of offline LTO
tapes. Additionally, the software allows creation of reports for
management of the archive, including the ability to list the
contents of any tape, the ability to search for files and the
generation of an archive status report.
Archive and restore operations are always performed using Windows
Explorer. XenData6 extends Windows Explorer's capabilities to
transfer files to and from LTO using drag and drop or copy and
paste. Files may be archived to LTO from any accessible logical
drive letter or network share. Similarly, files may be restored to
an available drive letter or share. The system maintains file and
folder structures, allowing the transfer of nested folders to and
from LTO tape.
The XenData6 Workstation software license allows you to install the
software on multiple computers and use an assigned tape drive on
any of those computers.
