"The systems will be deployed at a national research laboratory to backup and archive 12 Petabytes of scientific data. The order reflects the end customer's prior experience with an XLS purchased two years ago for a pilot system. Shipments have begun, and will be completed in the current quarter.

"Qualstar's XLS Enterprise Library System comprises eight modules that can be intermixed to deliver cost-effective capacity and performance from 240 Terabytes to over 15 Petabytes. Qualstar's enterprise tape libraries use 97% less power to operate and cool than disk-based systems of the same capacity, making them the greenest archive and backup storage technology in the world."
