Quantum ValueLoader
Users small and large rely on automation
because it offers increases in capacity over standalone tape drives,
provides random access to several cartridges, and eliminates human
intervention, the number one cause of data loss. The ValueLoader
provides all of these benefits at a price that is comparable to
some stand-alone tape drives! This is an unparalleled value
for reliable industry-standard DLTtapeT automation.
Even the most inexperienced user can operate
the ValueLoader because it displays the following features:
- Simple User Interface - The ValueLoader
uses an LCD display to operate the loader so that it is
like any accessorized drive with a natural language menu-driven
interface.
|
- Simple Cartridge Management - The
ValueLoader features automated cartridge management for
import and export of data cartridges. Users are presented
with cartridges for export and prompted for import.
|
- Optimal Backup Configuration - Only
one drive and eight cartridges. The DLT VS80drive
is truly integrated into the ValueLoader architecture.
The eight DLTtape IV cartridges orbit around the center-mounted
DLT VS80 and insert into the drive individually. There is
a slot for each day of the week and an additional slot that
could be used for a Quantum DLT1 Cleaning Tape or additional
capacity.
