Introduction / Product Overview
make it extremely reliable. Another aspect of the library’s flexibility is its ability to support multiple drive technologies, including DLT, AIT and IBM 3590 tech­nologies. These drives ensure industry-leading transfer speed, capacity and reliability.
The Scalar 1000, ADIC’s newest member to its growing Scalar family, offers the ultimate scalability with an impressive tape slot capacity, a proven feature set, high reliability, and true flexibility. This robust product rounds out the Scalar family as the premier high-end, tape backup solution.
Product Overview
The Scalar 1000 solves cost and capacity problems by providing a high performance tape storage sys­tem that can cost-effectively grow with changing data storage needs.
By adding modular cabinets and extending its ro­botic mechanism along one continuous x-axis, its seamless growth path minimizes the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
The Scalar 1000’s modular expansion architecture is less expensive and performs faster because it utilizes only one robotic system. This design eliminates the need to pass cartridges through multiple robotics and pass-through ports. In addition, the Scalar 1000’s mini­mized moving parts and lack of alignment problems
Streamlined Growth
Physically growing the size of a Scalar 1000 library is straightforward and cost-effective. With a maximum con­figuration of four modules, it consists of one control mod­ule and up to three expansion modules.
The bottom rail (known as the x-axis), is extended as each module is added. No pass–through ports are needed since there is no wall between modules. As a result, the picker simply moves along the newly-extended axis. The associated cabling is also changed to allow the picker mechanism to move between the modules. As a result of this efficient design, no pass-through ports are required.
After connecting another module, the Scalar 1000 self-tests for the new, larger library configuration upon its first power up. Growth is simplified even more since no new firmware is required as modules are added. Drive bay capacity is field upgradable, allowing existing customers to easily add more drives as needed.

BUILDING BLOCKS OF A SCALAR 1000 / DLT LIBRARY
The Scalar 1000 / DLT control module, which can also serve as a self-contained library, is config­ured with 6 or 12 DLT drive bays. Each expansion module is configured for tape storage only (no drive bays), with 6 drive bays, or with 12 drive bays.
Choice of drive bay configuration determines the tape positions available in each module (see table). Drives to populate drive bays are ordered separately and may be easily added on-site. Configuration change is easy since the drive bay and cartridge ca­pacity of any module can be easily reconfigured in the field. The Scalar 1000 automatically “reteaches”

Key Features
The Scalar 1000 library offers a robust feature set, making it a highly reliable and effective data storage solution. Even in its largest configuration, the Scalar 1000 can move any cartridge to any drive in less than six seconds, with up to 350 cartridge swaps per hour. Its reliability rating—a full 1,000,000 cartridge swaps between failures—equates to almost two years of chang­ing one cartridge every minute, 24 hours per day. This combination of performance and reliability makes the Scalar 1000 especially well– suited for imaging, archive, and file migration systems, where quick file recall and continual heavy use are demanded.
This library offers a wide range of features to ensure low-cost, secure, and minimal maintenance, including a keypad-secured mailbox to facilitate adding and re­moving tapes, and hot-swappable drives expansion/replacement without interrupting normal operations.
In addition, all major components are field replaceable in less than 30 minutes. For example, both DLT and AIT drive modules can be replaced within five minutes. To further simplify service and maintenance, the Scalar 1000 features built-in diag­nostics that perform automated self-calibration and self-configuration routines.

Fibre Channel Capability
The Scalar 1000 is an effective candidate for use as a shared device in Fibre Channel networks due to its high capacity and large number of high–throughput drives. For customers requiring Storage Area Network (SAN) sup­port, the Scalar 1000 library offers a Fibre Channel solu­tion for increased bandwidth, easy scalability, and extended data transfer ranges. ADIC’s Fibre Channel routers are easily integrated within the Scalar 1000, allowing the Sca­lar 1000 library to be used directly in SANs.
ADIC offers two routers designed for tape streaming operations that integrate within a Scalar 1000 library—the FCR 100 and FCR 200. Both routers are 1U in height yet offer different channel options. The FCR 100 offers one Fibre Channel port and one SCSI bus while the FCR 200 offers one Fibre Channel port and two SCSI busses.
Fibre Channel Capability
Integrating Fibre Channel Routers into a Scalar 1000 is easy since the back of each Scalar 1000 module contains a standard rackmount system to seamlessly house and in­tegrate up to six Fibre Channel routers. Library modules will utilize a certain number of routers, depending on the number of drives. The recommendation is two drives per SCSI bus. For example, twelve drives will utilize six FCR 100s. Since the FCR 200 supports two SCSI busses, twelve drives will utilize three FCR 200s. To integrate FCRs into the Scalar 1000, simply order a Fibre Channel Integra­tion Kit (1 kit per router).
By integrating the Scalar 1000 and Fibre Channel Routers, ADIC provides customers a complete Fibre Channel solution package. Please contact an authorized ADIC reseller for pricing information about adding Fibre Channel to the Scalar 1000 library.

Planning Guidelines
Planning for a Scalar 1000 library involves several el­ements, ranging from physical location preparation to identifying cable requirements. To simplify this process, ADIC offers a comprehensive worksheet designed spe­cifically for Scalar 1000 customers.
After determining the drive type, the number of drives and modules, simply work through the appropriate Scalar 1000 Ordering Guidelines worksheet to define the correct configuration. Customers can then correctly identify the needed accessories—such as interface cables and media—and order accordingly. ADIC works with its customers to ensure these items are available upon

the Scalar 1000’s delivery. Please note that some items— such as cables, media, and installation costs—are sepa­rate and are not included in the base Scalar 1000 pricing.
The Ordering Guidelines worksheet is broken down by module and drive technology. Within any module, customers define the number of drives, the drive bay capacity, and drive-to-host drive cables. Customers will also identify which host interface cables are needed, both in quantity and length. Remember, a Scalar 1000 library can have numerous layout scenarios so use this worksheet to ensure that peripheral and accessory needs are properly identified.

The following two examples illustrate different ways to configure a Scalar 1000 within a multihost environment. The AMU, consisting of a control computer and DAS software, allows customers to connect multiple servers to
the same Scalar 1000 library at the same time. Specifically, the AMU’s functions include:
• Provides host communication • User interface for operation and service
• Robotic controller communication • Tape slot management
The diagram below depicts a typical Scalar 1000 with IBM 3590 drives, running an AMU configuration.

Planning is key. Given the size of the Scalar 1000, it requires a certain amount of dedicated space for optimal access. Please consult the layout diagram and size specifications to ensure the ideal Scalar 1000 location is identified before installation.
This Dimension Requirements diagram illustrates the space needed for these major points of access:
ACCESS POINT PURPOSE
• Import/export mailbox To load media
• Front cabinet door To access media and drives
• Back cabinet door To access cables and allow for service access
If service personnel need to access the back of the Scalar 1000, the door requires 2 feet and 6 inches of clearance. To properly access the import/export slot at least one foot of clearance is needed. As expansion modules are added, additional space requirements should be considered. Each expansion module adds another 2 feet and 6 inches in width. In total, the maximum Scalar 1000 library configuration—one control module and three expansion modules—is 10 feet in width.
