Unlock the Power of 10GbE with the SymplyPRO XTL Ethernet Sled 

The SymplyPRO XTL Ethernet Sled is a revolutionary enhancement to the SymplyPRO XTL 24, XTL 40, and XTL 80 tape libraries, enabling customers to bridge up to 4 SAS tape drives to high-speed 10GbE iSCSI networks. This innovative solution allows you to disaggregate your tape library resources from costly, power-hungry server platforms, distributing data protection tasks across your network for readily available, high-speed access. 

The SymplyPRO XTL Ethernet Sled occupies a single drive bay within the XTL 24, XTL 40, or XTL 80 library base or expansion module, connecting to up to 4 LTO SAS tape drives. This provides shared access to the entire library’s resources over a 10GbE iSCSI network, presented to the host operating system as an iSCSI target. 

By leveraging the lower cost of SAS drives combined with the ubiquity and high performance of 10GbE networks, the SymplyPRO XTL Ethernet Sled offers broad interoperability, allowing you to utilize the tape libraries with your existing data protection and archive applications, just as if they were connected via SAS or Fibre Channel. 

This game-changing enhancement is ideal for a wide range of industries, including Media and Entertainment, SMBs, SMEs, Healthcare, Education, Research, Surveillance, Data Centers, and Federal customers, providing readily available, high-speed access to the powerful SymplyPRO XTL 40 and XTL 80 tape libraries. 

Seamless Thunderbolt 3 Connectivity with the SymplyPRO XTL Thunderbolt Sled 

The SymplyPRO XTL Thunderbolt Sled is a groundbreaking enhancement to the SymplyPRO XTL 24, XTL 40, and XTL80 tape libraries, allowing you to bridge up to 8 LTO SAS drives to the high-performance Thunderbolt 3 interface. This industry-first solution provides easy plug-and-play connectivity to any Thunderbolt-enabled host computer, including both macOS and Windows systems, making it simple to connect your tape libraries to laptops, desktops, and servers. 

The SymplyPRO XTL Thunderbolt Sled occupies a single drive bay within the XTL 24, XTL 40, or XTL 80 library base or expansion module, enabling you to connect up to 8 LTO SAS tape drives and bridge them to the Thunderbolt 3 interface. The LTO library is presented to the host operating system as a standard SAS target over a single, high-performance Thunderbolt 3 connection, ensuring broad interoperability with your existing data protection and archive applications.
