HP StorageWorks 1/8 Tape Autoloader

Designed for basic data protection, the HP StorageWorks 1/8 Tape Autoloader provides cost-effective, easy-to-install unattended backup. No more struggling to remember to change tapes or start backup programs. With the 1/8 Tape Autoloader, reliable backup equals peace of mind.

Equally at home in a data-center rack or on a desk next to the office server, the 1/8 Tape Autoloader is equipped with either an HP StorageWorks Ultrium 460, SDLT 320, Ultrium 230 or a DLT VS80 tape drive and can house up to eight cartridges. The autoloader can be used for both direct-attach backup to a single server locally or across a LAN. The Ultrium and SDLT versions are an ideal consolidated backup solution for multiple servers where high throughput and high capacity are required. For users who have less stringent capacity and throughput requirements, the DLT VS80 version is recommended.

Included with the autoloader is a power cord, SCSI cable, LVD SCSI terminator, installation guide, and product manual. Plus, all models come with HP OpenView Storage Data Protector software, Single Server Edition for Microsoft
