Product Brief

P2000 Series Automated DLTtape Libraries

Setting the standard for mid-range enterprise-class libraries, the P2000's high-

availability, scalability, performance, capacity, upgradability and ease of

operation make it a global leader in enterprise tape automation. Built for users

demanding continuous availability, the P2000 is the best choice for data-

intensive applications from data warehousing to image archiving. No other

library approaches the P2000's enterprise features, including a future-proof

architecture, a broad array of redundant components and the industry's most

advanced -- yet easy to operate -- user interface. If you are considering Fibre

Channel, just add an embedded Fibre Channel interface to the P2000 and

attach it to your Storage Area Network (SAN). No other library approaches the

power, flexibility and investment protection of the P2000 from Quantum | ATL.
