Externalized LTO
XenData SX-520 Series Archive ServersBroad Application Compatibility
File/folder interface means the solution works with most applications – from MAMs to Windows Explorer to Finder.
No need to load any special software on client computers.
Supports multiple simultaneous applications. Multiple LTO cartridge groups can be configured for each application by mapping folders to specific cartridge groups.
XenData SX-520 Series Archive ServersDesigned for Networks
NAS architecture makes it easy to deploy.
RAID cache delivers high performance in a network.
Interfaces via 1 GigE or 10 GigE.
Supports CIFS/SMB or FTP.
XenData SX-520 Series Archive ServersSupport Windows, Mac and FTP Clients – plus local transfers
Windows, Mac and FTP clients are natively supported.
Locally the archive volume appears as a logical drive letter.
XenData SX-520 LTO Archive Servers
Fast Archiving
At the speed of RAID.
The system does not wait for LTO cartridges to be mounted.
XenData SX-520 LTO Archive Servers
Fast Restoring
The system restores queues of files in the shortest possible time.
Restore requests are processed to tape order to minimize unnecessary tape movement.
XenData SX-520 LTO Archive Servers
Partial Restore Capable
Allows a clip to be restored from LTO without need to restore the whole file.
XenData SX-520 LTO Archive Servers
Built-in Data Protection
The system will automatically create extra backup copies of LTO cartridges for offsite retention.
XenData SX-520LTO Archive Servers
Prevent Vendor Lock-In
LTO cartridges are written in either the exchange LTFS format or the open standard TAR format.
The use of a standard format prevents vendor lock-in – proprietary formats make it very costly to ever switch to another vendor.

Industry Standard Security
The archive server integrates fully with the Microsoft security model based on Active Directory.
XenData SX-520LTO Archive Servers
Manage Unlimited Externalized Cartridges
The system manages any number of externalized cartridges, providing an unlimited total capacity. There are no license fees for externalized capacity.
When offline files are accessed, the system prompts with email alerts and on-screen notifications, identifying the cartridge that should be imported back into the system.
A range of different reports helps manage the entire archive including all externalized cartridges.
