Quantum Introduces SuperLoader 3A Professional Video Autoloader

Quantum Corp, leading global specialist in backup, recovery and archive, has launched the new SuperLoader™ 3A autoloader at IBC.
Phil Ritti, vice president, media storage solutions for Quantum, said: "We are excited to launch the SuperLoader 3A, our second tape-based professional video data storage system, after previewing the award-winning SDLT 600A to great acclaim last year at IBC. Customer acceptance has been very strong, and this new product introduction underscores our commitment to the broadcast and professional video market where we plan to continue developing solutions that further enable file-based workflows.”
Taking advantage of the SDLT 600A tape drive technology and its position as the number one supplier of autoloaders, Quantum designed the SuperLoader 3A for workflows with larger storage requirements. For example, regional news bureaus can use this solution to create a localised archive where content can be easily managed, quickly accessed and readily exchanged between locations.
The SuperLoader 3A can support one or two magazines, which each hold eight data cartridges, for up to 4.8 TB of storage in a 2U rackmount form factor. Individual tape cartridges can be loaded or removed from the front “mail” slot, or complete magazines can be removed for bulk loading, unloading or shelf-storage.
