network attached storage. When configured with LTO

 drives, the

backup solution. What’s more, two SCSI ports or two SAS ports 
with LTO-3-060, LTO-3 full performance, LTO-4-120 and  
LTO-5-140 enable two drives to run in parallel, which can help 
reduce backup time for multiple server environments.

Capacity

The PowerVault  114T/114X holds up to 3.0 TB

1

 of compressed (2:1) 

data when using LTO-5-140 drives (114X). This allows a very high 
capacity for backing up in a slim-rack optimized format.

Ease of Use

As an extension to the PowerVault lineup of products, the  
PowerVault  114T/114X allows you to easily connect drives  
externally while still incorporating a rack-optimized backup  
solution into your environment. Compatible with Dell rail kits,  
the tape rack enclosure can typically be installed in minutes. 

The PowerVault  114T/114X offers easy manageability. It is simple 
to deploy, use and maintain with a tool-less chassis that enables 
you to install or remove a drive or component quickly. And the 
top of the unit is removable to allow easy access to the drives and 
components. Plus, it features two drive bays, two SCSI/SAS cables, 
a power supply and fans. The subsystem also includes two status 
LEDs on the front bezel so you know at a glance that your system 
is operating correctly. The PowerVault  114T/114X is ideal for 
customers who require an affordable, simple-to-use tape storage 
solution that incorporates a wide range of tape technologies while 
providing exceptional capacity and performance in a small  
form factor.

LTO-5, LTO-4, LTO-3 and LTO-3-060 drive technologies which typ-
ically boast 250,000 MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) and can
