Page 27: Description
• Licensable Features Overview The Scalar i40 and i80 tape libraries automate the retrieval, storage, and management of tape cartridges. Tape cartridges are stored in the library and mounted and dismounted from tape drives using firmware running on the library or software running on the host systems.
