Get Up to 150 Petabytes of Native Storage Capacity Managed in a Single Tape Library

Oracle announced it is the first enterprise tape automation vendor to offer up to 150 petabytes of native storage capacity managed in a single tape library. This is a result of the enhancements to the StorageTek SL8500 Modular Library System and the StorageTek LTO-5 tape drive. With the SL8500 supporting the LTO-5 and increasing its scalable capacity from 70,000 to 100,000 tape slots and redundant electronics, the tape libraries now offer a 90 percent increase in capacity over LTO-4 drives and a 16 percent improvement in overall performance, Oracle said.
