Jul 31, 2008 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- NIPNY | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- London 0- NEC Computers Ltd, a subsidiary of NEC Corp., today announced the launch of its first tape library, the NEC T16A2. The automated solution simplifies the process of the backing up of data on the server and helps businesses to upgrade their storage capacity at a lower cost, regardless of the OS environment.

The NEC T16A2 is designed to meets the needs of SME's, with key features including:

--A compact form factor design: with a native capacity of up to 13TB with 16 cartridges in a 2U high density rack format

--High Performance: with support for LTO-3 and LTO-4 media

--Scalable: thanks to a double magazine design that allows management of 8 cartridges per magazine

--Ease of use: an automated tape library storage unit with a user friendly and intuitive administration screen and remote management via web interface

High performing Solution for a more reliable and secure back up device

The availability of IT data is a vital element in business continuity, and for this reason data security is a prime focus for NEC with this product. For the majority of businesses it is essential to have access to a managed back up device that offers both high performance and security.

Benefits of the T16A2 include the use of an advanced bar code reader to register the location of bands, allowing the important data to be saved more efficiently. Additionally the 2U Rack format offers the customer a large storage capacity within a reduced space.

The NEC T16A2 storage unit includes the latest tape technology and supports the Ultrium LTO format, which offers high capacity, high performance and increased security. Businesses can also choose between the LTO-3 or LTO-4 band readers which allows one to double the storage capacity whilst retaining the documents in the same way as LTO does.

Finally, the band readers are available with WORM (Write Once, Read Many) technology to protect data against alterations and modifications.

Remote Management

The NEC T16A2 allows the remote-administration, configuration and control of any function (e.g., the state of the system, diagnostics, inventory and alarms). Its intuitive display screen also makes it very easy to use and, additionally, its web based remote management allows the efficient monitoring of storage systems without the need for manual intervention. Should a problem arise the user can quickly receive a diagnostic report based on the event log.

This function facilitates the integration of many major operating systems such as Microsoft Windows and Linux. It is also compatible with the principle backup saving software such as Symantec Backup Exec and Brightstor ARCserve.

A Storage Extension Offer

Further complementing this new tape library, NEC offers completely standardised storage sub-systems which can be easily and rapidly integrated:

NAS solutions (Network Attached Storage) which reduces deployment time and the need for additional resources. It consolidates all servers and storage units, thus simplifying the management and administration of data.

Sub-Systems supported by SAN (Storage Area Network) excel in the centralisation of data, whilst simplifying administration.

Price and Availability

The NEC T16A2 library is available from GBP 3,499 (SCSI LTO3 (6.4-12.8TB)) or GBP 3,899 (SCSI LTO4 (12.8-25.6TB)), with pack contents including: a T16A2 library, rails kit, SCSI VHD-HD 3mn cable, and an LTO cleaning cartridge. (Prices exclude VAT).
