StorageTek 4400 Automated Cartridge System

CA Disk functions that use tape or cartridge devices are compatible with the ACS 4400 (Automated Cartridge System) from StorageTek, also referred to as Nearline storage. Devices under its control appear to CA Disk as any other 3480/3490-type devices. No changes to CA Disk procedures are necessary to use them.

Installations that have the 4400 or similar device installed will find the benefits of an automated tape cartridge handling system particularly valuable for such CA Disk functions as Archive and Backup, auto-restore, Sequential Migrate to Tape, and archive management functions.
