THE GOLD STANDARD IN TAPE BACKUP AND RESTORE
The StorageLoader VXA
™
1U 1x10 Slot Autoloader sets the standard in data density, data
reliability, transfer speed and price for this class of automation products.
In addition to its compact 1U, rackmountable form factor, it offers a midrange feature set,
including a barcode reader as standard, random library operation and standard remote
management. The product is available with a VXA-320 drive and a maximum capacity of 3.2TB

The StorageLoader VXA uses three different cartridge capacities (X6=40/80GB,

choose the capacity that best meets their current storage and budget
needs and the ability to add capacity on demand, simply by using
larger capacity VXA Tapes.
