It provides the benefits of hands-off, around-the-clock operation which minimizes human error,backs up data quickly and predictably, creates off-site archive copies of data to meet compliance re-quirements, and bolsters our disaster-recoverystrategy.

The right capacity and features for our organization The PowerVault TL4000 tape library holds up to 48tapes for a native capacity of up to 72 Terabytesof data on LTO-5 tape media. LTO-5 backs up astaggering 504Gigabytes per hour per drive, or amaximum of 2.016Terabytes per hour with fourdrives, making the PowerVault TL4000 tape library

ideal for growing data-protection needs. Encryp-tion Key Management is available with LTO-5 tech-nology for added security.

Frees up resources and helps improve reliability Dell PowerVault TL series tape libraries use a ro-botic mechanism to move media automatically, al-lowing for unattended and independent operation.To keep contents properly organized, a bar codereader inventories and tracks all tapes stored inthe library.

Exclusive Offer to CSU and Foundation Employeesfrom Enterprise Rent-A-Car

Internationally celebrated architect Tadao Ando came to CalPoly Pomona on March 28 to accept the Neutra Medal for Pro-fessional Excellence awarded by the College of EnvironmentalDesign. His appearance drew hundreds of attendees from allover the region including CPP alums and environmental designprofessionals inspired by his work.

Bronco Bookstore became a part of the event when they wereasked to handle selling advance copies of Taschen Publication’sretrospective book on Mr. Ando: “Ando: Complete Works1975-2012,” a $50 hardback ‘coffee table’ style book filled withphotos and illustrations of Ando’s designs and buildings.

Although the book’s official publication date is May 2012,Taschen agreed to rush-ship 150 advance copies from the print-ing facility in Korea to be available for the ceremony. Ando hadgraciously agreed to sign every copy, and also supplied 150sketches to insert in the books to make them even more special.

Taschen contacted the store just days before the ceremony. Ini-tially they had planned to ship the books directly to the archi-tecture department, but they realized that they needed to workwith a campus entity with a valid resellers permit from the state,and who better to sell books than the bookstore? Although itwas the always-hectic first week of the quarter, the bookstorestaff were happy to jump in and take responsibility for handlingeverything related to the book sale.

The store took care of receiving the shipment, and transporting the books to the theatercourtyard on the afternoon of the award ceremony and reception. It was clear that turnoutwas huge from the lines forming more than an hour before the reception was scheduledto start, and the courtyard was already filled with people as the books were unpacked.While bookstore employees handled the sales transactions, student volunteers from thearchitecture club inserted the sketches from Ando in each book as it was sold. In lessthan an hour, all 150 books sold out.

According to Associate Director Suzanne Donnelly, the bookstore typically handles anywhere from 10-20 authorevent sales a year, but this is the most successful one she has seen in her 8 years at the store. While many speakersdraw large and engaged audiences, the most books ever sold for prior events was less than 100. ‘It was excitingto sell that many books so quickly, and to see how happy people were to get their copy’ she said. The bookstoreplans to order more copies of Ando’s book when it officially releases so CPP faculty, staff or students who missedtheir chance to buy one of the advance copies will be able to pick up a book from the store in May.
