ETERNUS LT250 is an open systems tape library that employs highly reliable, large-capacity LTO Ultrium tape drives. With the capability to back up data from multiple servers into a single tape library, this model achieves efficient utilization of storage assets while reducing operating costs and TCO.
ETERNUS LT250 is a tape library for the markets for products based on open system architectures. Part of the mid-range class of tape libraries, ETERNUS LT250 unit can be mounted in a 19-inch locker and house up to 18U or 91 cartridges.
A small-size, large-capacity, high-speed backup system can be configured by mounting up to six high-performance tape drives with LTO-4 and later technology. Aside from the model that is mounted in a 19-inch rack, a standalone model is available. ETERNUS LT250 main unit and all related optional products conform to the RoHS Directive.
The sale of this product was terminated in October 2014. The successor products is ETERNUS LT260.
