 EZ17(tm) Autoloader

Typical application: Small departmental workgroups.

Supported applications: Network backup/restore, remote storage and automated archiving.

The Exabyte EZ17 brings convenient, cost-effective automation technology to backup. Compact and affordable, the EZ17 expands Exabyte's line of high-capacity, high-performance automation products. The EZ17 accommodates one Exabyte Mammoth-2, Mammoth or Mammoth-LT tape drive, the most reliable drive in its class, and seven Exabyte™ AME data cartridges in a removable data cartridge magazine. Also available in low voltage differential (LVD) SCSI models for superior signal integrity and increased cable distances across the SCSI bus.

World-renowned Exabyte robotics automate backup procedures, eliminate operator error and dramatically cut data management costs. The EZ17 is easy to operate and compatible with all major software applications. The user-friendly LCD screen guides users through status, diagnostics and help functions. The EZ17 occupies very little space on a desktop or on top of a server. For optimal performance and convenience, two autoloaders can be mounted side by side in a standard 19" rack.
