Scalar 10k tape library
The Scalar 10k is the industry's first capacity-on-demand library, delivering built-in room to grow and allowing users to increase storage by activating additional capacity whenever they need it.
The enterprise library for consolidated backup and archiving.
It is the industry's first capacity-on-demand library, delivering built-in room to grow and allowing users to increase storage by activating additional capacity whenever they need it.
Scalar 10k Product Overview
The Scalar 10K operates seamlessly in new or existing storage networks. It supports multiple protocols and fabrics at the same time, providing industry-leading scalability, capacity, availability, and technology independence. A fully redundant library architecture option supports dual robotics, controllers, power, and library control paths to provide continual access to data through virtually all service operations.

Scalar 10K Technical Specifications
Scalar 10K Capacity-on-Demand Configurations
Scalar 10K capacity-on-demand libraries come with extra capacity that you can activate in increments of 100 tape slots using software authorization keys. When most of the capacity of an installed unit has been activated, delivers additional capacity upgrades at no charge.
Capacity-on-demand libraries provide seamless pay-as-you-grow scalability, from 700 to nearly 4000 tape cartridges and from 1 to 84 drives, without any internal barriers or pass-through ports.
