by allowing the operator to manually remove cartridges containing
mission critical data in the event of a power outage. Drives, power
supplies and electronic modules are easily accessed from the rear
of the unit, and can be replaced quickly at you site.
Maximum
uptime and high availability is ensured in Breece Hill libraries
with continuous access to data through redundant load-sharing power
supplies, and power-on exchange of tape drives. An optional 30 cartridge
locking import-export simplifies media handling and offers additional
security for information sensitive backup.
Scalability
It's tough to predict how fast your data will grow. That's why we
designed scalability into the Q6.210 and Q9.140. When the need arises
to increase your data storage the Q6.210 or Q9.140 can be field
upgraded to either the Q12.420, Q15.350 or Q18.280. This protects
your investment and instantly doubles your capacity and throughput
through a simple field upgrade.
Compatibility
Like all Breece Hill libraries, the Q6.210 and Q9.140 interface
with any major operating system including UNIX™, Windows NT™,
Novell™ and others. They are qualified with all leading storage
management applications affording you great choice and flexibility
in your software selection.

Product
Overview
When
it comes to data intensive applications, Breece Hill Technologies'
enterprise line of libraries provide high performance storage and
back up solutions with maximum data capacity and transfer rates.
Flexible connectivity offers powerful and innovative methods for
attaching to SAN environments. Standard Data IQ™ architecture
facilitates network management and control of the tape automation
process. Tape technology independence provides scalable tape storage
solutions. Engineered for large, distributed, open-system environments,
the Q12.420, Q15.350 and Q18.280 tape libraries leverage proven
automation designs while incorporate cutting-edge innovations that
vastly increase their functionality.
You
can determine the most appropriate library for your company depending
on your back up window and the amount of on-line data capacity desired.
The 12 drive, 420 cartridge unit provides massive storage with 33.6
TB capacity and transfers 518 GB/hr compressed data*. The 18 drive,
280 cartridge unit features the fastest transfer rates with 778
GB/hr and offers 22.4 TB capacity with compression*. Or, for a blend
of the two, the 15 drive, 350 cartridge library offers 28 TB capacity
and transfers 648 GB/hr data with compression*. In any of these
libraries though, you'll find reliability and high availability
that every IS manager needs.

Highlights
Universal
Load Plate Design
One of many key features in Breece Hill's engineering design is
the patented universal load plate on which tape drives are mounted.
This allows you to use drives not only in your Q12.420, Q15.350
and Q18.280, but in any other Breece Hill library as well by swapping
them in and out in the field. The universal load plate enables the
drive to be field replaceable, and protects your investment by enabling
you to scale up as your data capacities grow.
Drive
Independent
Even more important, the universal load plate allows the library
to be drive independent. This means it can support two different
tape drive technologies in the same library. Now you can combine
DLT and LTO in the same unit, and seamlessly migrate to new or different
linear technologies as your backup needs change.
Advanced
Network Connectivity
Engineered for remote, centralized network connectivity, the Q12.420,
Q15.350 and Q18.280 libraries offer Breece Hill's DataIQ™
Network Interface. This standard feature is the library's network
attach architecture built on open standards. A single board computer
mounted on the front door and a custom Java applet called Itela,ä
facilitate network monitoring and control via the web, email alerts,
or simple network management protocol (SNMP).
Sophisticated
Operator Interface
Library control and operation is simplified with a color LCD touch
screen mounted on the front door. Here you can configure the library,
check its status, run diagnostics, operate the library or perform
log activities. If you are offsite, just point your web browser
to the library's Internet address and manage the library from anywhere
in the world. Such efficient control functionality decreases the
cost of operation and ultimately decreases the total cost of ownership.
With
DataIQ™ Network Interface, users benefit from: increased efficiency
among IS personnel, flexible methods of library monitoring and control,
software and hardware cost savings, increased library availability,
easy remote management, and highly reliable backup and archival.
SAN
Connectivity
With the information explosion, it's important to know that the
Q12.420, Q15.350 and Q18.280 libraries provide universal compatibility
with any SAN or NAS architecture. So you can be prepared to take
your company to the next level of sophistication as your storage
goals and priorities change.
Embedded
Intelligence
Embedded intelligence is a distinguishing feature of Breece Hill's
libraries. The company's patented robotic positioning system consisting
of a "learning algorithm" automatically and continuously re-calibrates
to compensate for any changes in the library's physical environment.
The robot can sense changes in the physical environment and then
adjust for those changes, significantly reducing downtime and lowering
overall service costs.
The
library barcode reader generates faster inventory times than other
comparable products. Moreover, extensive recovery routines are enabled
in a power-out situation. The library not only remembers what it
was doing, but completes the action when power is restored, significantly
reducing downtime and service costs.
Easy
Library Management
Knowing that the customer's data is their most valuable asset, Breece
Hill engineers designed the Q12.420, Q15.350 and Q18.280 for maximum
uptime and high availability that is ensured through power-on exchange
of tape drives. Users have easy access to tape drives, cartridges
and robotics through a lockable front door. Such accessibility protects
the integrity of the data by allowing the operator to manually remove
cartridges containing mission critical data in the event of a power
outage. Drives, power supplies and electronic modules are easily
accessed from the rear of the unit, and can be replaced quickly
on-site.
