Overview
This scalable tape autoloader provides unbeatable data density, capacity and performance in a 2U rackmount form factor. The SuperLoader provides the widest range of drive choices available with both LTO and DLTtape technology. Choose LTO-1 or LTO-2 technology with the ability to upgrade or swap drives at the customer site. Or choose an SDLT 320 drive for performance, or a DLT1 drive for economy - either way you have an autoloader that protects your investment in legacy DLTtape IV cartridges,by being backward read compatible. The unique 8+1 or 16+1 cartridge configuration scales to your needs, now and in the future, and allows an extra cartridge to be added to a fully populated system. With a modular architecture that ensures future viability, the SuperLoader brings you enterprise-class automation at a small office price.
