Tandberg Storagecab 6ST 438 GB

Tandberg Storagecab 6ST 438 GB ... JBOD solutions are connected and operated by a SCSI interface to the file or application server.

The combination of a tape drive and JBOD solution within the same enclosure provides integrated data storage and high availability of data. Through this, the basic storage capacity of the 219 GB version of the StorageCab 6ST system can be protected and stored by the Tandberg SDLT320, which has a storage capacity of up to 320 GB.

The operation takes place by two separate SCSI-channels, whereby one channel is designed for the tape drive and the other for the JBOD system. Normally, the disk bundle is operated by the RAID controller and a second SCSI controller operates the tape drive. A specific backup-software overtakes the control of the tape drive.

StorageCab 6ST systems are equipped with a maximum of six disk shuttles, two redundant power supplies as well as six redundant fans. These components are also hot swappable. A faulty component can be taken out during operation and is replaceable by a new one.

By using a RAID array, the RAID controller reconstructs the hard disk, if one hard disk is damaged. A running down of the system is not necessary. All data and achievements are available for the user during the reconstruction.

StorageCab 6ST systems are available either as tower or in a rackmount configuration. With the aid of the Tandberg Data management software SManager, which is connected to a PC via a serial RS 232 (V24) COM interface, all StorageCab solutions can be administrated and monitored.

The robust mechanical design and the high-quality components contribute to the operating reliability as well as the monitoring of the individual components and the internal operating temperature.
