Tandberg Data for the SMB

We all are aware that Tandberg Data purchased Exabyte and it seems that they have covered all the bases if you are looking for a small tape library or autoloader.

Yes they do focus in the SMB enviroment, however with some of their larger libraries I feel that some enterprise accounts could certainly purchase one of the Tandberg libaries.

Let's review them:

Tandberg Data's new or renamed Exabyte Libraries - certainly their flagships.
StorageLibrary 24 Supporting 1 - 2 LTO Drives with 24 Slots
StorageLibrary T40 Supporting 1 - 4 LTO Drives with 40 Slots
StorageLibrary T80 Supporting 1 - 8 LTO Drives with 77 Slots

The reason for stating "say 1 - 4 drives," Tandberg has designed these units to support full height and half height LTO drives. Note: Most of these units support a variety of LTO generations and models and please look at each unit as to connectivity.

Hold outs from Exabyte.
StorageLoader LTO-4 Supporting 1 drive with 8 slots
StorageLoader LTO-3 Supporting 1 drive with 8 slots
StorageLoader LTO-2 Supporting 1 drive with 8 slots
Magnum 1x7 LTO Autoloader Supporting 1 drive with 7 slots
Magnum 224 Library Supporting 1- 2 drives with 24 slots (see T40)
Magnum 448 Library Supporting 1-4 drives with 48 slots

All in all, well manufactured LTO Tape Libraries and these units are available from Sunstar Company, Inc.
