DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR SANS FOR EFFICIENT, MORE RELIABLE BACKUPLeveraging the strength of ADIC’s SAN expertise, theScalar i2000 was designed to increase the performanceand reliability of backup in SAN environments. It’s the firstsolution to provide unified management of the library, drives,and SAN connectivity. All can be managed by a singlegraphical interface accessible both locally and remotely.Drive Aggregation Lowers CostsI/O BladeDrive 1Drive 2Data Path Readiness Checks Improve ReliabilityDrive 3Drive 4I/O Management UnitHostFabricHostHostData PathFabricHostEach I/O blade in the Scalar i2000 supports up to four drives,reducing switch port and cabling requirements by up to 75%.HostThe Scalar i2000 verifies the health and readiness of the data path—from the hosts through the I/O Management Unit to the drives—toimprove backup reliability.SUPERIOR RELIABILITY/AVAILABILITY/SERVICEABILITYHostThe Scalar i2000 proactively checks the data paths between allhosts and each drive in the library to ensure that the entiresystem—including fabric connections—is ready to perform thebackup. Its performance optimization technology delivers thehighest possible drive performance within a SAN, and its bladebasedI/O management unit aggregates drive connections,reducing switch port and cabling requirements by up to 75%.Designed to meet the availability requirements of 24-hour backup environments,the Scalar i2000 offers true non-disruptive hot-swap capabilities for drives, fans,and power supplies. The redundant power architecture provides full 2Nredundancy for both AC line sources and all internal DC power supplies sothat all drives and the entire library are protected from any single powercomponent failure.The Scalar i2000's connectivity failover provides dual data paths to drives to keepbackups operating consistently through connectivity interruptions. Whenconfigured, data flow is automatically routed to a failover path in the event thatfault conditions in a switch port, a library input port, or cabling between the switchand library block the primary path.Library Management ConsoleFunctions including library and connectivitysetup, library partitioning, import/export media,and security control can be initiated eitherlocally or remotely.

SCALES WITH YOUR DATA AND YOUR BUDGETThe Scalar i2000 takes advantage of ADIC’s industry-first scalability architecture: capacity-on-demand. Capacity-ondemandallows you to pay for only the capacity you need today, and easily plan for non-disruptive capacity upgradesas you grow. When you need more capacity, activation of additional 100 slot increments occurs simply by using asoftware key. To accommodate continual data growth, the Scalar i2000 expands up to 1,674 LTO, 1,395 SDLT, and2,232 AIT slots in a single library.ADIC's trusted linear expansion model means additional capacity can be added efficiently and cost effectively. Ourbarrier free, single robotics architecture provides the industry's highest levels of performance and reliability,eliminating the delays and reliability risks of pass-through ports.Capacity-on-DemandBase Unit with Extra Tape SlotsThe Scalar i2000 always ships withextra tape slots that you canactivate using a software key whenyou need additional capacity.Additional Slots ActivatedYou simply order more tape slotsin increments of 100.Expansion Module Plus Additional SlotsOnce you exceed the capacity of your currentconfiguration, ADIC will deliver an expansionmodule free of charge.The Scalar i2000 isolates specific failed components for fasterrepair of common problems including drive errors, connectivitydisruptions, and power failures.Fault Isolation for Better ServiceThe Scalar i2000 integratesadvanced logic schemes to isolatefaults to the specific fieldreplaceable unit. Unlike alternativelibrary solutions that only identifygeneral service areas, theScalar i2000 identifies the specificfailed component, ensuring that theright part is repaired the first time.The Scalar i2000’s processingpower enables faster problemresolution—keeping enterprisebackup up and running.www.adic.com/scalar

DESIGNED FOR THE DATA CENTERThe Scalar i2000’s form factor was carefully designed to provide maximum density, flexibility,and utilization of physical resources in enterprise data centers. Its use of a standard 19-inch rackform factor provides easy space planning and simple integration into data center environments.The Scalar i2000 offers the industry’s highest density—720 cartridges per square meter—beatingthe alternatives by a margin of 80%. It has the highest media import/export capability, offeringup to 96 LTO bulk loading slots in one library.DATA-CENTER-FRIENDLY FORM FACTORIndustry-Leading DensityScalar i2000STK L700eIBM 35840 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800Cartridges per Square MeterWith 720 cartridges per square meter, theScalar i2000 has the highest density of anyhalf-inch media library—80% higher thanthe nearest alternative.Configuration 1 Control Module 1 Control Module and 1 Control Module and 1 Control Module and1 Expansion Module 2 Expansion Modules 3 Expansion ModulesPhysical Size 77.4” x 24.3” x 38.3” 77.4” x 47.9” x 38.3” 77.4” x 71.5” x 38.3” 77.4” x 95.1” x 38.3”(H x W x D) 196.6cm x 61.7cm x 97.4cm 196.6cm x 121.6cm x 97.4cm 196.6cm x 181.5cm x 97.4cm 196.6cm x 241.4cm x 97.4cmAuthorized Slots (LTO) 100 to 300 300 to 700 600 to 1,100 900 to 1,674Drives (LTO) 1 to 12 1 to 24 1 to 36 1 to 48Control Module: Contains the main controller, powersupplies, I/O management unit, operator panel touchscreen, 24 slot import/export mailbox, and the libraryrobotics.Expansion Module: Contains both drive space and cartridgeslots, and may be configured with an import/export mailboxfor bulk loading and unloading of media.The Scalar i2000 is designed for maximumtape density.Intelligent, Efficient ArchitectureFront Library ViewHigh-PerformanceLinearRobotics• Barrier-freeexpansion• No passthroughportsImport/ExportMailbox• 24 slots• Industry’shighest bulkloading capacityRear Library ViewServer-ClassMain Controller• Control• Analysis• AlertingI/O ManagementUnit• Integratedconnectivity• Blade based• Data pathmanagementHot-SwappableDrivesQualified CompatibilityThe Scalar i2000 is qualified with all leadingSAN and NAS providers.• Brocade• CA• CommVault• Dell• EMC• HDS• HP• IBM• Legato• McData• NetApp• VeritasFully RedundantPower Supplies• LTO• SDLT• AITPlease see www.adic.com for the mostup-to-date compatibility information.The Scalar i2000’s design allows all service to be performed through the front or back of the library, eliminating thespace-consuming side access requirements found in other libraries.www.adic.com/scalar
