ACTIDATA actiLib Kodiak 3416 BTL 3U Base Module - 1x LTO-9 HH FC (40 slots tot 1,8 PB)

The ACTIDATA actiLib Kodiak 3416 BTL 3U Base Module is a high-performance automated tape library designed for scalable data backup and archiving. Featuring a single LTO-9 half-height Fibre Channel drive and 40 data slots, it delivers native capacity up to 720 TB and compressed capacity up to 1.8 PB (2.5:1 compression). This 3U rackmount unit is ideal for enterprise environments requiring reliable, long-term data storage with hardware encryption and WORM support.

Advantages

• High density: 40 slots in 3U form factor maximize storage per rack unit.
• LTO-9 technology: Up to 18 TB native per tape, with backward read/write compatibility for LTO-8 and read for LTO-7.
• Fibre Channel connectivity: 8Gb FC interface ensures fast data transfer (up to 400 MB/s native, 1000 MB/s compressed).
• Dual redundant hot-swappable power supplies enhance reliability and uptime.
• Hardware encryption (AES 256-bit) and WORM support for data security and compliance.

Suitable for

• Enterprise data centers requiring automated backup and archiving.
• Organizations with large data volumes needing scalable tape storage.
• IT environments that demand high reliability, security, and long-term data retention.
