"The Scalar i6000 award validates the acquisition and operational cost advantages, as well as the high availability, that IT departments can expect from our industry-leading intelligent tape libraries."
As data continues to grow and provide greater strategic value, Quantum's Scalar ® family provides highly reliable and cost-effective long-term data storage and large-scale archiving, including in tiered environments behind disk-based deduplication and object storage systems.

In addition, Quantum's new High Density Expansion Module (HDEM) for the Scalar i6000 provides the highest storage density in its class, saving valuable floor space.
"The Scalar i6000 offers high density to reduce its data center footprint, and Quantum's continued enhancements have delivered higher availability, even greater data integrity and advanced active archive features," noted Knox McCormac, director of operations with Optimus. "As a result the Scalar i6000 is a critical component in our data protection and archive solution."
