The Qualstar Q40 mid-range LTO tape library is a scalable, high-performance data backup solution built for reliability and long-term adaptability. Engineered to be Simply Reliable™, the Qualstar Q40 delivers flexible scalability for short-term backup, disaster recovery, and secure long-term data archiving. Its modular design allows seamless growth, with a base configuration starting from 40 up to 640 cartridge slots, and throughput expansion supporting up to 48 LTO tape drives. Each 4U Qualstar Q40 library module provides exceptional storage density—up to 1.2 petabytes of native capacity (LTO-10) and as much as 3.0 petabytes compressed—making it an ideal choice for organisations seeking reliable, space-efficient, and scalable enterprise data protection.
As your storage demands grow, the Qualstar Q40 Mid-Range LTO Library base unit supports the addition of up to 15 modules, collectively reaching an extraordinary 45 petabytes (LTO-10 compressed) within a single 48U rack, maximising both space utilisation and cost-efficiency. A single robotic system services all drives and media, optimising operational efficiency and significantly reducing the complexity of managing large-scale tape storage.
Ease of management is integral to the Qualstar Q40 Mid-Range design. Equipped with an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) and setup wizards, configuring and operating the control panel is straightforward, reducing learning curves and setup time. The system also includes an integrated Remote Management Interface (RMI), allowing IT administrators to monitor, manage, and troubleshoot the Qualstar Q40 Mid-Range library from any location, which adds invaluable flexibility to the overall library management process.
