Sun StorageTek SL500 Modular Library System

From $14,000. (US)

Designed to simplify your backup operations, the award-winning Sun StorageTek SL500 Modular Library System is easy to own and operate. The midrange StorageTek SL500 maintains reliability regardless of the number of expansion modules, features redundant, hot-swappable components, and scales from 79 to 460 TB, providing you with more than 30% greater capacity than competing libraries. The Sun StorageTek SL500 Modular Library System is the most flexible rackmounted solution on the market. It provides you with the simplicity, reliability, and scalability you need to manage growth, accelerate consolidation, and reduce costs in small- to medium-sized business or corporate environments.

The intent of the power calculator is to provide guidance for estimating the electrical power consumption and heat dissipation for the tape library system. This data represents a typical tape library system functioning in a normal operating environment. It should not be used to calculate power or HVAC requirements. Instead, please use the appropriate site planning guide to allow for proper allowances.

You MUST allow electrical and cooling headroom for unforeseen circumstances, component upgrades, and increased workloads. Please allow for worst-case power conditions. Actual power consumption will vary from the sample workload used in the power calculator. These include, but are not limited to, the factors below. Each of these factors may cause significant differences in power consumption. For precise results, actual measurements based upon the exact HW/SW/Environmental conditions are recommended.
