Advanced Automation at an Affordable Price:
Now with DATASTOR Shield Deduplication Software

Designed for simple and reliable backups, Quantum SuperLoader® 3
offers an exclusive package of advanced features, including StorageCare®
Guardian, remote management, and barcode reader—all at no additional
cost. It also gives you the widest range of drive options in the industry to
support data requirements up to 3,840 TB—with the flexibility to expand as
your storage needs grow.

Quantum SuperLoader 3 models now include DATASTOR Shield™ backup
software with deduplication to supercharge your backup. Quantum and
DATASTOR have teamed up to provide the first backup with deduplication
straight to tape. This technology, which reduces backups significantly (up
to 20x), allows you to store more data per tape than competitive models.

Quantum SuperLoader 3 delivers a full suite of advanced features at
an affordable price—with easy integration, an intuitive user interface,
and compatibility with a broad range of backup software packages.
And because you can easily expand from 8 to 16 cartridge slots, your
investment is protected as your needs grow.

Customers may also choose additional service level upgrades for
maximum availability and faster response times.
