The Quantum Scalar i3 Tape Library Control Module is the brains behind a modern, scalable archival solution designed for easy deployment and reliable ongoing management. Built to handle growing data protection needs, this control module integrates a suite of intelligent features—such as iLayer proactive diagnostics, Capacity-on-Demand (CoD) scalability, and energy-efficient power management—to deliver higher storage density, improved uptime, and simplified administration. For enterprises pursuing durable, cost-effective backup and long-term retention, the Scalar i3 control module is the cornerstone that unlocks effortless expansion, smarter health monitoring, and efficient operation in demanding data centers.

  • Easy deployment and proactive health monitoring: With iLayer proactive diagnostics, the Control Module continuously evaluates library health, predicts potential failures, and surfaces actionable insights before issues impact data protection. This translates to minimized unplanned downtime and seamless daily operations for IT teams.
  • Capacity-on-Demand (CoD) scalability: Scale your archive without forklift upgrades. CoD enables you to add capacity as your data grows, preserving budget flexibility and reducing time-to-value for new workloads—whether you’re expanding vaults for compliance, analytics, or tiered storage strategies.
  • Energy-efficient operation: Equipped with 80 PLUS certified power supplies, the Scalar i3 control module helps lower total cost of ownership by delivering reliable performance with energy efficiency, supporting green data center initiatives while maintaining peak throughput.
  • Best-in-class storage density: Designed to maximize rack space, the i3 framework optimizes media placement and drive utilization, increasing usable capacity per U and enabling denser tape libraries that simplify scale-out strategies for long-term retention.
  • Seamless integration with Scalar i3 ecosystem: The Control Module fits naturally within the Scalar i3 family, delivering consistent management interfaces, robust security, and compatibility with Scalar management tools to streamline backups, restores, and lifecycle workflows.

Technical Details of Quantum Scalar i3 Tape Library Control Module

  • Product family: Scalar i3 Tape Library Control Module, part of the Scalar i3 ecosystem, engineered for enterprise-grade archival and backup operations.
  • Diagnostics and management: iLayer proactive diagnostics continuously monitor hardware health, predict failures, and guide remediation to minimize downtime and protect data availability.
  • Scalability: Capacity-on-Demand (CoD) allows on-the-fly expansion of capacity within the Scalar i3 framework, enabling organizations to grow storage without disruptive infrastructure changes.
  • Power and efficiency: 80 PLUS certified power supplies provide reliable performance with energy efficiency, helping reduce operating costs in data centers with tight energy budgets.
  • Storage density: Optimized chassis design and media management deliver high storage density to maximize usable capacity per rack unit, supporting dense archival requirements while keeping costs in check.
  • Compatibility and integration: Designed to integrate with Scalar i3 libraries and management tools, offering a cohesive experience for administration, monitoring, and lifecycle management of tapes and media.

how to install Quantum Scalar i3 Tape Library Control Module

  • Prepare your installation site by ensuring adequate space, proper airflow, and a temperature-controlled environment suitable for enterprise tape libraries.
  • Power down the Scalar system and locate the designated slot for the i3 Control Module within the library chassis. Remove the slot filler and verify the slot connectors are clean and free of debris.
  • Install the Control Module firmly into the chassis using the supplied guides and fasteners. Connect the management and data interfaces as specified by the product manual, ensuring secure, compliant cabling.
  • Power up the library and access the management console. The i3 Control Module should be detected automatically; if not, run the initial discovery through the Scalar management software and confirm that the module is communicating with the library controller.
  • Run the initial health check, verify iLayer diagnostics are active, and apply the latest firmware or software updates if prompted. Configure Capacity-on-Demand settings and define alerting thresholds to align with your organizational policies.

Frequently asked questions

  • What is the Quantum Scalar i3 Tape Library Control Module? It is the central control unit that powers and manages Scalar i3 tape libraries. It enables proactive health monitoring, scalability through Capacity-on-Demand, and efficient operation across complex archival workloads, while providing a unified interface for administration and media lifecycle management.
  • What benefits does iLayer proactive diagnostics provide? iLayer diagnostics continuously monitor health indicators, predict failures before they occur, and suggest corrective actions.

Best sunscreen brand! Fair, sensitive-skinned and rely on this
Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Alba Botanica is my favorite brand for sunscreen products and it checks all the boxes on my list: Excellent long lasting coverage, fine mist spray and easy coverage cream versions, great for my sensitive skin (no breakouts- I do NOT use it on my face though), the Hawaiian fragrance is pleasant, it’s reef safe (a big one for me as a snorkel/dive aficionado), and organic ingredients. The large size lasts 5 full days when on a boat all day in the Carribbean, and I only apply it twice (once in morning, and again midday.) I have fair skin, and I never burn. The spray version is, by nature of its aerosol capacity, a bit drying on the skin, but this is to be expected, and it creates a long lasting barrier. The cream version is a wonderful emollient, although not quite as long lasting. Best deal is only in the summer season at CostCo for a 2 pack... in my searches, Amazon has the best deal otherwise.

In most of all circumstances, this works
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
For Summer time and when playing and working in the sun, this is my go to sunscreen! I love how it is more natural than all the other ones out there. I have been sort of a spray on sunscreen connoisseur and this is the one that is my favorite. Also, if I have gotten a burn and put this on it, I believe it helps start the healing process on the burn I got. This is at least what I experienced multiple times last year. The only circumstance that this sunscreen fails miserably is in the Caribbean. I recently went on a cruise to that region and applied this sunscreen and it became evident that this and the other brands of spray on sunscreen do not work in Caribbean sun. The only sunscreen that works is the lotion based stuff that you rub into your skin. I have also consulted with friends on spray on sunscreen in the Caribbean and they all fail as well. So, this is why I say that it works in almost every circumstance.

spray nozzle needs work.
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
I purchased 3 of these cans. Only one of them worked and that one was ok. Sprayed well, smelled good and and protected my skin and even though it was hard to press it to work, we WERE able to use it, but the other three .............? They would not rotate to the unlock position, therefore they would not spray. My husband and I tried everything to get it to rotate. It seems both the top and bottom ring spin around effectively doing nothing. So to pay almost $40 for only one can to work is definitley not worth the money. Buy somewhere else.

Great product! Highly recommend! Worth the money
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Our family absolutely loves Alba sunscreen! It’s light, not super greasy, and smells really good. Everytime I see it on sale, I buy more of it! My husband is a red head, and he has to wear sunscreen all the time, and he prefers Alba brand over any others. Great Product!
