RAIL – Redundant Arrays of Independent Libraries – a tape library architecture. RAIL provides parallel access to multiple tape libraries that can be geo-distributed, and have high availability and scalability. A 3-geo system has three separate libraries in geographically dispersed locations. It is a RAID-like scheme providing increased scale, protection and performance for tape libraries.
