Scalar 50 is the easy-to-use library platform that gives growing mid-range and entry backup environments user-friendly, reliable backup and restore capabilities with features that simplify everything from initial set-up to adding capacity over time.

• Scalability, start with 38 slots and scale up to 76 slots
• Simplicity, user-friendly interface enables simple installation, operation and maintenance
• Serviceability, proactive monitoring and integrated RAS notification-sends email alerts to designated operator for rapid problem resolution via Quantum’s StorageCare Guardian software
• Support with Disk, designed for seamless integration with disk-single window monitoring and management of the entire data protection environment including Quantum disk and tape libraries
• Advanced Functionality, includes partitioning, multiple drive type support and connectivity choices: SCSI, iSCSI, SAS and Fibre Channel

Easy to operate and maintain, the Scalar 50 provides a user-friendly interface to facilitate set-up and operation. The intuitive set-up wizard takes you through initial configuration step-by-step, so the library is up and running quickly and efficiently. And once the library is set up, our Guardian software will proactively monitor the library to prevent problems and speed issue resolution. Even keeping up with data growth is simplified with the Scalar 50. Its streamlined scalability enables the library to grow along with your user data – without disruption. Start with 38 slots and scale up to 76 slots as needed.

If you desire the simplicity and reliability of the Scalar 50, but have lower capacity requirements and limited data growth, the Scalar 50e is available. The Scalar 50e provides 26-slot capacity that is not expandable or scalable.

In addition, the Scalar 50 is designed to integrate easily with disk backup. The result of this forward thinking design is seamless integration with disk by enabling users to manage and monitor multiple Quantum libraries and disk systems from one convenient screen. This feature is enabled with Quantum Vision software and makes Scalar 50 an excellent choice for integration with disk systems. Flexible IE configuration and removable magazines also make it the perfect library to augment disk backup architecture.

Monitor and manage your entire data protection environment from a single window
Quantum Vision™ software enables simplified management of Quantum DXi™ disk-based backup systems and Scalar® tape libraries -- whether you have one system or many, Vision software enables you to plan for upgrades while maximizing resources by providing detailed performance, replication, status and capacity information. Vision also has the capability to launch into the native GUI’s of your Quantum disk and tape devices, providing a consolidated management view. With increased complexity and a multitude of technologies being used in most data centers, combined with more data to protect, a simple management tool, such as Quantum’s Vision software can streamline the backup process.

The Scalar 50 comes with a one-year on-site next business day standard warranty. The warranty can be extended for long-term security and peace of mind at an affordable price. Additional 5x9x8 and 7x24x4 service contract upgrade response levels are also available. Professional Installation and Integration services can be purchased through Quantum to ensure maximum uptime.
