Quantum Adds EDLM Feature
The Register reports that Quantum has built on its i6000 library tape MeDIA scanning function with an enhanced Extended Data Life Management (EDLM) feature to automatically migrate data from doubtful tapes. There are Quick, Normal and Full scan options with alerts when a suspect tape is found. Integrating with the StorNext Storage Manager software, the contents of suspect tapes can be automatically migrated to a fresh tape without administrator intervention.
"EDLM should ensure long-term tape-based archival is much more reliable than disk-based archival. Quantum's SVP for file systems and archive products Janae Stow Lee said: ‘Any customers with lingering concerns about the risk of migrating film assets to digital tape need no longer worry; the combination of EDLM and StorNext should eliminate the risk of data loss in properly managed environments.’”
