What is PetaSite Library?
PetaSite Library is a modular, expandable, and efficient data center solution. With 165 TB to 2.9 PB per standard rack space, it provides flexible system expansion to support increased archive performance and storage density.
All our library models are available as part of an integrated solution. This includes all hardware and the software needed for transparent read/write access via standard file system to the media library.
PetaSite Library components
Leveraging the PetaSite Library components, customers have the flexibility to build solutions that meet both their archive performance and capacity requirements.
ODS-L30M
The ODS-L30M master unit contains a robotics and system control interface, up to two optical drives, and 30 media slots providing 165 TB of archive capacity.
ODS-L100E
The ODS-L100E extension chassis adds an additional 101 media slots, supporting 555.5 TB of extra capacity. Up to five ODS-L100Es can be deployed in a PetaSite solution, providing an additional 2775.5 TB of archive capacity.
ODS-L60E
The ODS-L60E extension chassis adds up to four additional Generation 3 drives and an additional 61 media slots, for improved archive performance and 335.5 TB of extra capacity. Up to four ODS-L60Es can be deployed in a PetaSite library.
ODS-D380F
The ODS-D380F is a fiber channel drive unit for the ODS-L30M/L60E/L100E PetaSite scalable library with very high transfer speeds of 1.5 Gbps write (verify on) and 3 Gbps read using an ODC-5500R Generation 3 cartridge.
Flexible solution expansion
Our PetaSite Library is a true, fully modular and scalable solution built around three chassis types. All chassis are industry-standard 7U rack space configuration. Each full system can expand from one to six chassis per 42U rack, and three full racks per server are supported.
The PetaSite Library is a fully modular solution built around three chassis types. Each chassis is 7U and supports industry-standard 23.62 x 47.24 in data center racks.
