CHAPTER 1
Library Overview
The Spectra T200, T380, and T680 libraries are highly scalable, modular
libraries that provide unattended data storage, archiving, backup, and
retrieval for environments ranging from mid-sized PC workgroups to
multi-server networks. The unique TranScale™ modular design makes it
possible to increase the storage capacity or number of drives in the library
to meet an organization’s evolving storage and performance needs.
This chapter provides an overview of the library features and components.
With the exception of the maximum number of drives, the total storage
capacity, and the number of interface modules that each supports, the T200,
T380, and T680 libraries are functionally and operationally identical. The
differences between the libraries are noted where appropriate.
