Exabyte launches Magnum 224 LTO tape library

Exabyte Corporation has introduced the Magnum 224 LTOT (UltriumT)
tape library aimed at meeting the data protection needs of small and mid-size
businesses and remote offices/branch offices of larger enterprises. It is
available in two drive configurations: a single LTO-2 half-height drive and
empty bay for a second LTO-2 drive; or with a single LTO-3 drive.

The standard Magnum 244 package includes the drive,
12-cartridge magazine, a SCSI interface and 2U height robotics, and is loaded
with standard features such as a rack kit, remote management capabilities, and a
barcode reader. Both configurations include a single 12-cartridge magazine with
import/export drawer.

When the data load or throughput speed requires an upgrade,
the addition of a customer-installable LTO-2 half-height drive and 12-cartridge
magazine can double or triple the initial capacity and speed of the Magnum 224,
depending on the user's choice of configuration. Total capacity ranges from
4.8 TB for an LTO-2 drive configuration with a single media magazine to almost
20 TB for a 24-cartridge, LTO-3 drive setup.

The small 2U form factor is maintained even when the
autoloader is scaled into a dual-drive, dual-media magazine library. Tapes can
be easily inserted or removed through the single-cartridge import/export drawer
without removing the entire 12-cartridge magazine.
