The Qualstar TLS-6000 tape libraries offer high performance, rugged reliability, and a great overall value for DLT and SuperDLT tape users. The TLS-6000 family will provide years of consistent automation for direct attached and SAN backup applications.

The TLS-6000 family is comprised of seven models, houses from one to eight DLT 8000 or SuperDLT tape drives, and utilizes up to 240 tape slots. Drives can be added or swapped out by the user in a matter of minutes and expansion modules can be installed by the user without having to make a service call.

With reliability as the motivating criteria behind the design of all Qualstar libraries, Qualstar is able to provide peace of mind for their customers. If you fear that a library failure may impact you or your organization, then what’s inside your next library may be of importance. Every Qualstar library is built with mechanical components that are known for continual operation, not just in this industry but in all of manufacturing. For example, the library is completely lead screw driven, there are no belts or pulleys which can stretch or break over time.

These reliable components are used consistently throughout all the library models; 90% of the parts are the same regardless of size of the library or drive type. The result: common manufacturing, common support, and all models are equally reliable.
