Exabyte VXA-320 PacketLoader 1x10 1U

Exabyte, no stranger to the Test Center’s Product of the Year notoriety, has done it again with its third-generation tape automation product, the VXA-320 PacketLoader 1x10 1U. With a reasonable price tag, small and midsize businesses can take full advantage of the device due to its sufficient capacity and low total cost of ownership.
Solution providers will be able to combine the 1U hardware device with almost any third-party backup software vendor out there for a feature-rich restore system. Being able to bundle the unit is an attractive option. By not using proprietary software, solution providers have much more freedom when implementing the device into a customer’s infrastructure. The company’s ExaPartner Program offers three levels based on sales commitment. The average overall reseller margin ranges from 15 percent to 30 percent on products. —Vincent A. Randazzese |
In years past, safeguarding and archiving critical data through automation was only considered possible for larger organizations. Now, Exabyte has said its device will become the flagship product of the company’s SMB-Class Automation Line and will give solution providers a viable and reliable storage option to penetrate the SMB space. The 1U autoloader will now provide customers with a high-capacity, low-cost device that combines 10 cartridge slots for convenient tape rotation, which can provide a native capacity of 1.6 Tbytes or 3.2 Tbytes compressed.
