Capacity...Simplicity...Affordability
Whether you’re a small- or medium-sized business, or a remote location of a larger corporate office, you are likely being faced with increasing data backup requirements on a limited budget. As the amount of data you need to protect continues to grow, your IT resources are probably stretched to the limits in order to meet shrinking backup windows and long-term storage requirements. Chances are you need backup and archive solutions that deliver high capacity and simplicity at an affordable price.
As the newest member of the ARCvault family, the ARCvault 48 is the ideal backup/archive solution for IT environments with big-business demands and small-business budgets. Taking advantage of the ease-of-use, space-saving and cost-of-ownership advantages delivered by the ARCvault 12 and 24, ARCvault48 takes tape backup and archive to the next level, making it the ideal solution for midrange applications.
Packing over 76 TB into just 4u of rack space, the ARCvault 48 delivers 25% more capacity than more expensive competitive tape libraries. Supporting both SCSI and native fibre channel interfaces, ARCvault 48 provides the simplified connectivity and high-performance bandwidth needed to backup, restore and archive mission-critical data in SAN environments.
Four removable 12-cartridge magazines allow you to meet changing backup and archive requirements and support for up to four LTO tape drives allows you to scale your backup/archive performance as you need it. ARCvault 48’s unique partitioning capability protects your investment by allowing you to allocate your IT dollars across multiple backup and archive applications. Freeing up IT personnel, budgets and equipment for other tasks, ARCvault 48 saves your organization time and money.
