 Gemtrac
High Density Media Storage
Data centers
are faced with many complex issues. Most resolve around the critical
issue of space: a fixed amount of space for data processing and
storage needs that are constantly and dramatically increasing. Finding
the space to house an ever expanding tape library is a challenge
shared by most data centers. Using more computers, drives, silos,
and other equipment typically demands space that may not be available.
Unless, of course, there is a way to reduce significantly the size
of your media library. Gemtrac gives you back the space you need.
The unique
and most remarkable aspect of Gemtrac's design is the dramatic reduction
in floor space compared to conventional open tape racks. Gemtrac
is a high density, quick access storage system that makes the most
efficient use of your floor space. Eliminating the wasted aisles
required by open rack storage, Gemtrac can help recover up to 70%
of the space currently consumed by your tape library. This increased
storage efficiency can provide space for more tapes or other equipment.
Since this is expensive space that can run up to $200 or more per
square foot, your organization can reduce costs.
Gemtrac also
boosts productivity by condensing your library into a more compact
area, reducing travel times between mounts. In fact, the Gemtrac
High Density Tape Library puts up to 6,400 data cartridges within
arm's reach. A Gemtrac unit consists of two opposing cabinets linked
by a series of overhead tracks. Each cabinet holds five pull-out
drawers that open into a center aisle. Without taking a step, a
tape librarian can stand in the center aisle and immediately reach
any of Gemtrac's ten drawers.
Gemtrac's drawers
can be configured to hold a wide range of media including computer
tapes, CDs, and VCR tapes. All Gemtrac equipment is designed and
built for reliability and durability. E-mail us or telephone us

PRE-CONFIGURED
DRAWERS
Gemtrac
drawers are "pre-configured" for end-tab file folder
storage. However, should you have other valuable large-format
materials, shelves are adjustable (without tools) in 1/2"
increments for optimum vertical flexibility. Front-to-back
shelf dividers adjust similarly to accomodate other horizontal
spacing requirements.

STAGGERED
HANDLES
Space
efficient handles are staggered to maximize storage and safeguard
hands when opposing drawers are open.
"EASY-OPEN"
DRAWERS
Depressing
the thumb latch initiates two actions, (1) released the drawer
, and (2) activates a mechanical spring-assist. Even a small-stature
operator can easily open a fully-loaded drawer containing
several hundred pounds of material.
Continue
to pull the drawer to the "lock-open" position.
When ready to close the drawer, depress the thumb latch again
- with minor effort by the operator, the drawer glides to
the "lock-closed" position (with a 2nd mechanical
spring-assist).
STACKING
CAPABILITY
For extreme
density applications, HDLP GT's may be stacked on top of one
another. Regional building codes, stairs and 2nd mezzanine
floors requirements vary, so contact
Mid-America Business Systems for a proposal.
