Tape Libraries & Autoloaders

Efficiency

Tape libraries contain multiple tape drives and many slots to house cartridges. An internal robot shuttles cartridges between the drives and slots for efficient backup and retrieval. This allows hands-free loading of tapes for scheduled backups without operator intervention.

Advantages

The key advantage of tape libraries is their high-density storage, spanning petabytes in a small footprint. The robotic loader also improves reliability over standalone drives by preventing wear and tear from manual cartridge changes. Tape libraries seamlessly integrate with major backup applications.

Cost-Effective

For small offices, we carry cost-effective autoloaders that house a single tape drive and up to 12 cartridge slots. While smaller than libraries, autoloaders still eliminate the need for manual cartridge swapping during backups. Models are available from Oracle, Dell, HP, and more.

Storage and Support

Larger libraries support multiple concurrent backups to different tapes for fast restore times. Models scale up to holding hundreds of cartridges and 8 or more drives. Drives can be LTO, SDLT, DLT, or other formats for compatibility with existing tapes.

Additional Features

Additional features like barcode readers, certification after drive cleaning, and encryption enable policy-based backup management. Remote monitoring and alerts ensure non-stop operation.
