Effortless to configure, install, and use
Plasmon makes it easy for you to be operational quickly with out-of-the-box integration and predefined personalities that simplify configuration. An open CIFS/NFS interface, like any NAS appliance, allows for easy integration with your applications. Installation is a snap since the UDO Archive Appliance already integrates the best components and software in your existing infrastructure.

Scale capacities as needed Uncertain about the explosive growth of your data? Your investment is protected with the UDO Archive Appliance which is built for easy scalability.

  • System capabilities range from under 1TB to over 38TB when using UDO2; capacities double when adding an expansion library

  • RAID cache on most models is easily expanded to 2TB for environments with higher access frequency

  • Upgrade in the future to UDO media capacities of 120GB and 240GB, plus additional expansion by adding more UDO libraries, without incurring major expense or system disruption

  • Future media migrations are transparent to your application, since the application’s file-system access to the archive remains unchanged as data is migrated from one media type to another

G-Series: Rock-solid technology in a UDO library
If you already have your UDO library software infrastructure in place or have specific connectivity requirements, the Plasmon G-Series UDO library is the solution for you. It’s the market leader for professional archive storage.

Flexible libraries for today and tomorrow
The G-Series is a scalable archive library family that can use new UDO2
drive technology and ranges in capacity from 1TB to 38TB. G-Series models
range from 24 to 638 slots so that you can choose the perfect size for your
application.

No need to worry about your current investment either. The G-Series drives
include backward-read-compatibility. If you are using 60GB UDO2 drives,
it’s no issue to read data written on 30GB UDO media. The G-Series is also
available with mixed support for both MO and UDO technology in one library.

You’ll not only protect your archive investment but also minimize the cost and frequency of data migration.

Advanced capabilities improve archive operations
G-Series libraries include state-of-the-art features to provide enterprise-class functionality at a low cost. Key features in all G-Series libraries include:

• Dual pickers, decreasing access time
• Auto-calibration, providing increased uptime and greater reliability

Enterprise G-Series libraries include the following options:
• Barcode scanner, offering greater security, offline media management and fast media inventory
• 10-slot bulk magazine for faster loading and unloading
