 SL8500 - Partitioning Technical Brief

Information concerning how to partition SL8500 library.

Solution

Partitioning the SL8500 library means the customer can have:
 - More than one operating system and application manage the library.
 - An improvement in the protection or isolation of files.
 - An increase in system and library performance.
 - A higher level of data organization.
 - An increase in user efficiency.

Partitions may be customized to fit different requirements, for example:
- allowing for special partitions to protect or archive data.
- enabling multiple organizations, companies, or departments access.
- isolating clients at service centers.
- separating different encryption key groups.
- dedicating partitions as test systems for new technologies or data migration to new tape drives.
