Virtual Tape Library
RXT: Virtual Tape Library
The RXT product family includes RXT VTL for the T-Series, the rack-mount
RXT350, and the stand-alone RXT150. All RXT RAID solutions use the RXT
drive, which in many respects works like a tape drive. The main difference being
that RXT drives write to mobile media composed of multiple Serial ATA
(SATA) disks. The disks are sealed in a rugged, shock-dampened enclosure and
protected by RAID.
The RXT350 and RXT150 products also have the ability to format their RXT
media packs for NFS. Easily interchangeable with RXT VTL media packs, NFS-
formatted media packs can be connected to a file system and used like other NFS
drives while retaining their RAID configuration and portability.
RXT Installation and Setup
RXT VTL for T-Series: 20 minutes to configure a partition and load RXT media
