SDLT 3520 & DLT 1280 Autoloaders

The Tandberg SuperLoader provides automated scalable tape automation in a rack-mountable 2U form factor as well as the high capacity, performance and reliability of DLTtape technology

Rack optimized Unattended Tape storage

Data center space in network environments is at a premium resulting in new efficient architectures for servers and storage. The Tandberg SuperLoader is a significant advancement in rack optimized tape automation providing the highest removable data storage density available in a 2U high form factor.

Modular Architecture

The SuperLoader system is based on a modular architecture that facilitates unmatched upgradeability, serviceability and configuration flexibility. The tape drive, power supply, cooling and interfaces are contained within a single module that can be replaced or upgraded in seconds. In addition, all 16-cartridge storage slots are contained in two removable, eight-cartridge modules. This allows users to start with an entry-level configuration and easily upgrade capacity and performance as their needs change.

Integrated Remote Management

The Tandberg SuperLoader system is equipped with an Ethernet port that provides direct access to its integrated web-based management tools, without the need to install additional interfaces or software. Using a standard web browser, remote IT personnel can configure, control, monitor, diagnose, maintain and update the SuperLoader system. In addition, the SuperLoader system supports the industry standard SNMP management information base utilized by popular network management packages.

Backward Compatibility

Like all Tandberg DLTtape products, the Tandberg SuperLoader system is designed to provide investment protection by offering backward compatibility to millions of DLTtape media cartridges. The SuperLoader product provides backward read compatibility with millions of DLTtape IV media cartridges recorded on DLT1/VS80, DLT4000, DLT7000 and DLT8000 formats, while the DLT1 SuperLoader can read the DLT1/VS80 and DLT4000 format.
