Qualstar Launches Q1000+ Enterprise Tape Library for LTO-9 and LTO-10 Drives

Qualstar Corp., provider of scalable data storage and high-efficiency power solutions, announced the launch of the Q1000+ enterprise tape library, designed for large-scale backup, DR, and long-term data archiving.The Q1000+ is available in 42U and 48U configurations and supports LTO-9 and LTO-10 tape drives. Each rack delivers up to 44.6PB of native storage capacity, or up to 111.5PB of compressed capacity. The system is designed to scale by connecting multiple racks into a single library, allowing expansion for exabyte-scale deployments depending on the software and connectivity.

Tape-based storage continues to be used by organizations seeking lower total cost of ownership for long-term data storage. LTO offers lower media cost, reduced power and cooling requirements, and long service life, making it a reliable, cost-effective option for long-term data storage. The Q1000+ is positioned to support these cost efficiencies by combining enterprise-grade reliability with competitive pricing relative to other enterprise tape library offerings.

To support operational efficiency at scale and lower TCO, the Q1000+ includes a browser-based management interface with guided setup tools and remote monitoring capabilities, enabling administrators to configure, manage, and diagnose the library remotely.

The Q1000+ Enterprise Tape Library is available.
