PivotStor Introduces Pivot Smart Architecture for Tape Robotics, Delivering Reliable, Trouble-Free Operation
Trio of technology advances enables greater uptime, access to data
SAN DIEGO, March 31 /-- PivotStor(TM) (http://www.pivotstor.com/), dedicated to delivering best-of-breed data protection, coupled with proven reliability and cost-effective performance, today announced the introduction of its exclusive Pivot Smart Architecture(SM) for the full line of AP-Series tape automation libraries.
The trio of advanced product features being announced are designed to provide end-users with greater assurance and uncomplicated operation as they backup and archive their corporate-critical data; through less downtime and increased performance, PivotStor's libraries provide small and mid-sized enterprises with greater confidence in the availability of their information.
Pivot Smart Architecture consists of:
-- PivotSense(TM): PivotStor's light-sensing architecture used by the library's robotics to position accurately with the magazine cartridge slot, eliminating the need to calibrate the robotic's mechanism;
-- PivotSecure(TM): Dual-armed cartridge carrier technology that secures the cartridge during load and fetch operations, delivering a robust solution to the "fetch retry" challenge; and
-- PivotSure(TM): Motor-driven gear design that precisely aligns robotic tracking and positioning, providing more trouble-free action through the absence of belts and pulleys.
"Our customers demand consistency; PivotStor's innovations are a clear step in ensuring that the products we deliver meet our customers' needs," said Victoria Pearson, president of Excel Meridian Data, a value-added reseller focusing on storage products, based in Carrollton, TX. "Tape libraries that fail to do the job they were brought in to do can cost our customers their business, and cost us our reputation of delivering proven technology that solves challenges. PivotStor's innovations deliver an added level of dependability that benefits everyone," Pearson added.
PivotStor's AP-Series tape automation libraries are designed to allow companies to manage their storage needs more cost-effectively with a minimum of IT staff resources. Available in 2U, 4U and 8U-configurations, the AP- Series utilizes industry-standard LTO-3 and LTO-4 tape cartridges, and is designed to securely store up to more than 153 terabytes of data.
"Reliability is key when it comes to protecting information," said Bob Hawkins, PivotStor's Senior Product Marketing Manager. "Pivot Sense Architecture's technology gives companies the assurance that the tapes on which their information is archived can be quickly and accurately handled so that the data they need is recovered in a minimum of time. Tapes that malfunction or libraries that mishandle cartridges are not an option in today's environment."
PivotStor's Pivot Smart Architecture is available at no additional charge as a standard component of all AP-Series tape automation products.
