Active archives provide secure long-term storage of your digital assets. They represent a tier of storage that is lower performance than fast primary disk but much lower in cost per TB. XenData provides tiered storage systems that archive to LTO data tape in robotic libraries and in stand-alone drives, on-premises disk-based object storage and/or to public cloud object storage.
Archive Appliances to Manage LTO Libraries
X100 Archives
XenData X100 archive systems manage LTO robotic libraries that scale to 100+ PB. They support leading enterprise libraries, including from HPE, IBM, Oracle, Qualstar, Quantum and Spectra Logic. The X100 is available as a clustered system with no single point of failure and as a single high-performance server.
X70 Archive Appliance
The X70 Archive Appliance is ideal for managing an LTO library with unlimited capacity and up to ten LTO drives where a large 112 TB managed RAID volume is required. Available with either SAS or fibre channel ports to support a wide range of robotic libraries from Dell, HPE, IBM, Oracle, Overland, Qualstar, Quantum, etc.
X60-S Archive Appliance
The X60-S Archive Appliance is ideal for managing an LTO library with unlimited capacity and up to ten LTO drives. Available with either SAS or fibre channel ports to support a wide range of robotic libraries from Dell, HPE, IBM, Oracle, Overland, Qualstar, Quantum, etc.
X50 Archive Appliance
The X50 Archive Appliance is ideal for use an LTO library with unlimited capacity and up to four LTO drives where a large 112 TB managed RAID volume is required. Available with either SAS or fibre channel ports to support a wide range of robotic libraries from Dell, HPE, IBM, Oracle, Overland, Qualstar, Quantum, etc.
X40-S Archive Appliance
The X40-S Archive Appliance is ideal for managing an LTO library with unlimited capacity and up to four LTO drives. Available with either SAS or fibre channel ports to support a wide range of robotic libraries from Dell, HPE, IBM, Oracle, Overland, Qualstar, Quantum, etc.
X20-S Archive Appliance
The X20-S Archive Appliance delivers a cost-effective solution for managing an LTO library with one or two SAS LTO drives. Available to support a wide range of robotic libraries from Dell, HPE, IBM, Oracle, Overland, Qualstar, Quantum, etc.
Add XenData Media Portal to View Previews
Browse the archive file system and see previews of video and image files within the selected folder. An authorized user can also use the portal’s web interface to download any selected file. By previewing files, users can be sure that they are selecting the correct content before restoring.
Access your LTO Archive as a Private Cloud
Adding an object storage S3 Server Interface to a XenData LTO archive system allows files to be written to and read from the archive from anywhere worldwide using fast and secure HTTPS. The on-premises interface and associated permissions are not affected: the LTO archive continues to be accessible locally using SMB, FTP or NFS.
Adding our object storage interface to your LTO on-premises archive means that you keep total control of your content, have cost effective scalability, and provide secure remote access to your users – all free of any egress charges.
Combine LTO and Cloud Object Storage
Adding a Cloud File Gateway Extension to your LTO archive system provides you with two archive destinations: local LTO and public cloud. This may be used in many ways:
- Backup on-premises LTO content to the cloud.
- Create your own LTO copy of all files written to the cloud.
- Migrate from LTO to the cloud.
- Repatriate from cloud to LTO.
- Sync files uploaded to the cloud to on-prem LTO.
Sync Multiple LTO Archives
Multi-Site Sync for LTO is a synchronization service that links multiple S3 enabled LTO archives, creating a single global file system accessible anywhere worldwide. As soon as a file is archived to LTO at one location, it becomes available as a stub file within the global file system. When a user makes a change by writing, overwriting or deleting a file, that change is propagated to all locations. This provides a consistent up-to-date set of files across the entire distributed organization.

Why XenData Archives?
Learn Why
PBS
XenData’s fully supported clustered server meets all the requirements for our disaster recovery site. We have been very pleased with the SX-525 product and XenData’s technical team who have provided system design and integration services above and beyond expectations.
Crew Cuts
I did my research, and the best archive solution was from XenData which manages a robotic LTO library behind the scenes. This helps to minimize our total costs and allows us to focus on producing great content for our customers.
Ideal Systems Singapore
We partnered with XenData for the GlobeCast Broadcast facility rollout, because it offers one of the most cost effective, robust digital video archives on the market and a great migration alternative to some of the more expensive digital video archive vendor offerings.
North Shore Automation
Having completed over 25 joint installations of XenData archive systems, we have found everyone on the XenData team to be both highly professional and super responsive and their technology to be rock solid. They are truly a pleasure to work with.
This is Just a Test
With over 558 TB of content and growing, conventional backup solutions just don’t work for us. Our XenData system allows us to maintain an ongoing mirrored copy of our shared storage while creating replica LTO copies for offsite storage.
Excelencia
We have now installed over 170 XenData archive systems across Mexico and they have proven to be very reliable. In addition, the technical support from XenData has been outstanding.
