Instockinc,IncADIC i2000 with 24 LTO2 FC drives and 700 slots
$57,000

This is the actual picture of the ADIC i2000 being tested in the InStock tech lab. Consisting of one control unit and three expansiion bays, this unit comes with 24 LTO2 FC drives and 1,426 slots. This library has a license for 700 of the 1,426 slots.

LTO 2 drives have a native capacity of 200GB and compressed capacity of 400GB. Total storage capacity of this i2000 is 280TB compresssed (700 slots x 400GB).

The Scalar i2000 library features the Quantum iPlatform architecture and integral iLayer management software which gives end users an unmatched level of control over the backup process. iPlatform provides a server-class main controller, distributed control processors, and I/O blades, all linked by an embedded communications area network. The iLayer management software dramatically improves the manageability of the enterprise backup process by integrating advanced diagnostics services, library resource management, and I/O management inside the library. A common iLayer management software approach extends across the Quantum iPlatform tape libraries and disk-based backup products, enabling end users to transition easily to next-generation backup solutions.

Drive Interface: SCSI-2 LVD; integrated FC interface option; Native FC interface option
Library Interface: SCSI-2 LVD; Native FC interface
Inventory Speed: 100 slots in 20 seconds
Configuration: Auto-discovery and auto-calibration for installed/added components (modules, tapes, drives, magazines, etc.)
Import/Export Up to 96 (LTO), 80 (SDLT) positions in removable magazines


The Scalar i2000 proactively checks the data paths between all hosts and each drive in the library to ensure that the entire system including fabric connections is ready to perform the backup. Its performance optimization technology delivers the highest possible drive performance within a SAN, and its blade-based I/O management unit aggregates drive connections, reducing switch port and cabling requirements by up to 75%.
