Product Information

The Ultimate Library
The revolutionary DLT LibraryXpress gives you the most options for capacity, performance and growth of any DLT tape library available. The Base Module (LXB) has a 10 cartridge magazine and comes with one or two drives offering from 400 to 700 GB compressed capacity. If you start with one drive, it's easy to upgrade to two - or to upgrade to higher capacity drives. Then, as your needs grow even greater, the exclusive SmartScale Storage design lets you simply install additional modules for expansion up to 4.8 TB of native capacity with native transfer rates of up to 288 GB/hour - all while protecting your original investment.

Intuitive Front Panel and Built-In Diagnostics Designed for Daily Network Use
A 4-line, 20-character LCD front-panel display provides direct access to comprehensive library status. Configure the library through the panel or from software. Check the robotics, drive and magazine status and access system statistics. Magazine handling is easy - just push one button to unlock. A bar code reader is also available for enhanced data management.

Smart Scale Storage Expandability
The DLT LibraryXpress has set a new standard in expandable modular DLT libraries. High-performance base modules meet today's network backup needs with native sustained transfer rates of over 36 GB per hour and native capacities up to 350 GB. Overland's innovative SmartScale Storage design delivers cost-effective, modular expansion with individual modules that can be added as capacity and performance requirements increase. The LibraryXpress advances scalable storage to a higher level, delivering a network backup and Hierarchical Storage Management solution today and the precise growth capabilities required for tomorrow's applications.

Proven Mainframe Class Reliability Gives Peace of Mind
The combination of high-performance DLT drive technology and Overland's proven Mainframe Class library robotics gives you peace of mind. A three-year warranty is standard. Replacements or upgrades can be easily done in the field. Your data is safe, secure and restorable with a highly reliable automated tape storage solution.
