Intelligent Robotics
The VXA
AutoPak robotics were designed with an intelligent picker that increases
reliability by using only two motors. The simple design of the robot and
uni-body chassis results in greater reliability and lower manufacturing
costs.
Simple Media Management
Media
management has been simplified, too. The removable cartridge holder
includes a dust cover, which attaches to the back of the unit before
installation. This ensures that users won't misplace the cover when
removing media from the AutoPak or when moving it to an offsite
location.
Conversion to a Small Library
To
provide redundancy and increase data throughput, the VXA AutoPak can be
upgraded to a small library by simply installing a second VXA-1 tape
drive. A barcode reader that works in conjunction with the backup software
can be added to further increase the efficiency of the media and data file
management. Both of these options can be ordered separately.
The Design - High Reliability Meets Low
Cost
VXA's Award-Winning Packet Technology The VXA-1 drives
installed in the AutoPak are the first and only tape drives to use packets
Ð the basic technology already proven in the networking, Internet, and CD
rewriteable markets. Each data packet is uniquely addressed and can be
read in any sequence. Initiating multiple scans, the VXA-1 drive reads
each packet independent of track shape or geometry.
No More Backhitching...
This
approach virtually guarantees 100% data restore and eliminates the need
for expensive head and track alignment mechanisms required on other tape
drives. VXA also successfully solves a problem known as "backhitching" or
"shoeshining," where the tape frequently stops and repositions itself when
the data flow to or from the drive is interrupted. Not only does
backhitching accelerate media and head wear, it also negatively impacts
the life of the drive mechanism. VXA is the only tape drive to
automatically adjust its tape motion to match the host transfer rate -
significantly enhancing reliability and optimizing both backup and restore
times.
