Library Management Software

Comprehensive manageability & active monitoring for outstanding reliability

Our BlueScale & BlueVision library management software applications deliver a comprehensive feature set spanning: security; monitoring; redundancy; reporting; library partitioning; and on-demand capacity. Proactive monitoring of media, system components & data integrity deliver reliability you can count on.

Media Lifecycle Management (MLM)

Media Lifecycle Management (MLM) actively monitors and oversees tape usage and health status, thereby minimizing errors associated with tape management. MLM enables efficient tape management by conducting ongoing assessments of over 40 diverse metrics during the entire lifespan of each tape

Library Lifecycle Management (LLM)

Library Lifecycle Management (LLM) tracks component-specific thresholds and automates hardware monitoring, allowing early detection of potential failures. LLM helps prevent data loss and downtime, ensuring uninterrupted operations and reducing the risk of costly disruptions.

Data Integrity Verification (DIV)

Data Integrity Verification (DIV) regularly checks the integrity of the data on tape media to detect and correct any errors or issues that may arise over time. It helps ensure that the data remains intact and accessible, reducing the risk of data corruption or loss.
