Tandberg Data's Magnum family of products encompasses a 25-year history of automation excellence incorporating industry-leading LTO technology. Highlights include:
- Affordability — Tandberg Data was the first company to create and supply affordable LTO automation products to the market. LTO-2 configurations start at just $3,200 giving you maximum return for a minimal investment.
- Reliability — Tandberg Data automation is based on a single driving principle espoused by Albert Einstein: "As simple as possible, but not simpler." Our engineers specify conservative electronics and ultra-reliable mechanical components that undergo intensive testing to ensure ultimate data security, accessibility and retrievability.
- Scalability — All of our Magnum products are easy to upgrade to next generation LTO drives, so your investment is protected. Start with LTO-2 or LTO-3 and affordably upgrade to LTO-3 or LTO-4 as your requirements increase. And an added bonus: since there's no need to take the autoloader or library out of the rack when upgrading drives, there's no loss of productivity. Interfaces can be upgraded this way also from SCSI to native fibre channel.
Storage Loader LTO Autoloader
The convenience and reduced administrative resources of an automated solution and a mid-range feature set at a budget-friendly cost makes the StorageLoader a "best-in-class" choice for SMBs moving to automated backup from traditional standalone tape drives. It uses either an LTO-2 or LTO-3 half-height drive and has an unique cartridge-load design of two 4-slot removable magazines storing a total of eight data cartridges. The drive, power supply and fans are all field replaceable without removing the autoloader from the rack, saving valuable time and money by avoiding costly onsite service visits.
Magnum 1 x 7Autoloader
For IT Managers and Network Administrators needing entry-level automated tape backup, the Tandberg Data Magnum 1x7 LTO Tape Autoloader is an ideal solution. It offers affordable automation with one LTO-3 or LTO-4 drive, 7 tape slots, remote management and bar code reader for easy management, a slim 2U rack size, the speed and capacity of LTO and a better TCO and ROI than competitive products.
Magnum 224 LTO Tape Library
This outstanding LTO library offers a myriad of features to improve performance, reliability and manageability starting at just $3,200. It offers up to two LTO-2 or LTO-3 half-height drives or a single LTO-3 or LTO-4 full-height drive with 24 tape slots standard. Easily and inexpensively double your speed by upgrading to a second HH Ultrium� LTO-2 or LTO-3 drive even when installed in a rack, creating one of the world's first 2U dual drive LTO libraries.
Magnum 448 LTO Tape Library
The Magnum 448 LTO Tape Library is redefining the term tape library by offering the most scalable, affordable and user-friendly tape library that SMB and departmental users can buy. It easily scales 'on demand' from a 1x48 to a 4x48 tape library, with your choice of up to four half-high LTO-2 drives or up to two full-high LTO-3 or LTO-4 drives.

Enabled by Exabyte's award-winning VXA Packet Technology, VXA X Tape offers the scalability of three different cartridge capacities, and the ability to reliably restore data even under the most extreme conditions.
VXA X Tapes are available in 40/80 GB (native/compressed), 80/160 GB and 160/320 GB capacities for the same VXA-320 drive, or 20/40GB (native/compressed), 40/80 GB and 80/160 GB capacities for the same VXA-2 drive. Different tape capacities provide you the flexibility to choose the capacity that best meets your current storage and budget needs with the ability to add capacity on demand, simply by using higher capacity VXA Tapes.
And you'll save money with incremental backups too -- simply choose smaller capacity tapes for incremental backups and larger capacity tapes for full backups. You can even use VXA-2 media in your VXA-320 drive, saving you even more money, and offering you the flexibility and choice not available anywhere else.
With VXA X Tape cartridge pricing comparable to DDS, users can now easily step up to enterprise-class backup and restore technology and a better TCO. The new low price of X Tape, along with all of the benefits of VXA Packet Technology, makes the VXA Packet Format the clear replacement for aging DDS.
