Scalar i3 Doubles Storage Capacity and Unlocks Ethernet Tape Connectivity with New Scalar iSCSI Bridge
CENTENNIAL, Colo., December 03, 2025--Quantum Corporation (Nasdaq: QMCO) today announced enhancements to the Scalar® i3 tape library, including increased capacity and extended connectivity into more environments thanks to new Ethernet connectivity enabled by the Scalar iSCSI Bridge. These improvements make Scalar i3 an increasingly secure, scalable, and low-cost choice for mid-sized environments where floor space and budgets are major considerations.
