Scalar Tape Storage

Scalar tape library innovative designs, patented features and intelligent management provide customers with industry leading low-cost, secure storage. Scalar libraries are ideal long-term storage for compliance, digital media, and image archiving. As a result, it has emerged as a key part of cloud and hyperscale infrastructures using RAIL architecture.

Scalar tape libraries now support LTO-10 full-height tape drives. LTO-10 capacity, density, and performance continue to build on the value of the LTO standard and lead the market in preserving and protecting data to address massive growth in unstructured data. Adding LTO-10 to Scalar libraries strengthens Quantum’s leadership in delivering high-density, secure, and cost-effective archival storage solutions. By combining the massive native capacity of 30 TB per LTO-10 cartridge (up to 75 TB compressed at 2.5:1) with Quantum’s advanced tape automation and intelligent management software, customers gain the highest storage density, lowest total cost of ownership, and strongest cyber protection—ideal for long-term archiving in an era where preserving every bit of data is essential to staying competitive.
