Content Addressable Switch(CAS):

With the
Bentsol content addressed storage (CAS) solution, you get:

Fast, affordable online access to your fixed content assets. Now you can easily store and retrieve vast amounts of digital


fixed content—archived e-mails, electronic documents, and MRIs—and be sure of its authenticity and integrity

Active archiving in a mid-tier package—at a mid-tier price. Bentsol CAS is available in a smaller-capacity,rackable configuration.


Bentsol CAS for midsize enterprises delivers all the benefits of active archiving—but with a reduced footprint and a mid-tier


price. It also serves as the foundation of specially integrated, easy-to-implement EMC Solutions for archiving, e-mail, and more

Complete storage solution for fixed content requirements. With Bentsol CAS, you can manage massive amounts of fixed


content at dramatically lower costs. Bentsol CAS meets your requirements for random access and simultaneous use. And it's


designed to work with your custom application

Cost-effective scalability. As your information assets grow, you can bring 3TB or more of fixed content online with Bentsol CAS.


You can expand your network to petabyte-level capacity—easily, non-disruptively, and cost effectively.


Tape Libraries:

The powerful
Bentsol modular library system delivers unprecedented value through reliability, consolidation, cost-savings and flexible scalability. It’s a multi-advantage approach to your most insatiable data storage demands.

Features & Benefits:

Scale from 1,448 slots to 300,000 slots with no system downtime.

Supports a combination of 64 to 2,048 tape drives including the Linear Tape Open (LTO) Ultrium and Super DLT (SDLT) tape drives.

Redundant and hot-swap robotics, power and electronic components maximize availability.

Substantial improvement in bottom-line efficiency by facilitating seamless consolidation of multiple smaller libraries, resulting in


lower operational, management and maintenance costs.

Assists regulatory compliance and helps to reduce the risk of serious financial ramifications.

Hot-swappable and fully redundant components, including multiple robots help keep the library running 24/7/365.

Enhances top-line revenue growth by allowing business growth without disruption.


Virtual Tape Libraries:

The
Bentsol Virtual Tape Library (VTL) addresses recovery time objectives, backup issues, and traditional tape management in the open systems environment.

The Virtual Tape Library (VTL) appliance can improve data protection simply by supporting high capacity disk buffers with high throughput and no disk management requirements. The VTL can be used with any application that uses tape. In the open systems arena, this includes backup and recovery products from independent software vendors such as Veritas, Legato, Tivoli, and Computer Associates.

Features & Benefits:

High Performance Throughput: Up to 900 MB/Sec (Series 3000)

Broad tape and library emulation: emulates DLT, SDLT, LTO, LTO3, StorageTek T9840 and T9940 tape drives, and StorageTek


L-Series™ tape libraries (L20 through L700e)

Advanced Connectivity: Up to 2 servers active, 6 FC front end ports, 32 host connections (Series 3000)

Accelerate recovery. Get data back to users when they need it. Trust it to be right

Reduce backup windows, improve backup success rates, and increase availability with a disk-to-disk solution.

Support consolidation. Achieve a single point of administration with the Virtual Tape Library storage appliance because it


manages data from multiple backup servers and multiple backup applications.

Optimize performance. Reduce CPU overhead by using tape emulation, which allows the backup server to move fewer but larger


blocks of data. Improve throughput.
