Ultera's Striper Series controller applies innovative RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Drives) concepts to tape and optical devices to achieve the highest performance with increased productivity by combining multiple drives, libraries or autoloaders as a single high performance logical device.      

BACKUPS: high performance Tape RAID operations perform up to 4 times faster than a single drive with 4 times the online unattended storage capacity plus fault tolerant operation to ensure your backups get done without interruption using Data Striping.  Create On-Site/Off-Site copies of your backups and increase your productivity by simultaneously creating up to 5 identical backups with NO system overhead using Data Mirroring. 

RESTORES: high performance Tape RAID operations perform up to 4 times faster than a single drive with 4 times the online unattended storage capacity plus fault tolerant operation to ensure your files get restored without interruption using Data Striping.  Also, file positioning or access to data is up to 4 times faster since the data is distributed or striped across multiple cartridges.  Retrieve data from a fault tolerant mirrored media data set using Data Mirroring or use an individual media cartridges independently for data interchange and disaster recovery.

BACKUPS: perform at the same speed of a single drive with twice the productivity using Data Mirroring.  Provides 100% data redundancy with 4 different disaster recovery modes to operate at a fault tolerance level you choose.  

RESTORES: perform at the same speed of a single tape drive with the added confidence your data is protected.  Retrieve data from a fault tolerant mirrored media data set or use an individual media cartridges independently for data interchange and disaster recovery.

Whether your high performance backup management strategy requires a single library, multiple jukeboxes, multiple libraries or autoloaders, Ultera's high performance library RAID storage solutions protect your data at a level no single tape or optical library can provide: 
Library Mirroring or Library Striping

TAPE SOLUTIONS: LibraryMaster™ controller provides data striping or data mirroring within a single tape library with seamless scalability.  RAILMaster™ controller provides data striping or data mirroring across 2, 3, 4 or 5 tape libraries with seamless scalability.

OPTICAL SOLUTIONS: RapidStor™ controller provides data striping or data mirroring within a single optical library with seamless scalability.  RAILStor™ controller provides data striping or data mirroring across 2, 3, 4 or 5 optical libraries with seamless scalability.  Stor2™ controller provides data striping or data mirroring across 2 optical libraries with seamless scalability.

Ultera's Tape RAID and Optical RAID controllers also feature Stripe Mirror and Mixed Controller Cascading to provide flexible and scalable removable storage solutions to meet your high performance needs.
