Dependable Tape Backup for Mid-Range and High-End Computer Systems
The Quantum DLT 4700 autoloaders meet the requirements for high-capacity data back-up applications. Each autoloader consists of an elevator mechanism
that provides random or sequential cartridge access between a tape drive and cartridge magazines. The seven-cartridge unit features an eight-inch form factor,
and is an appropriate table-top solution or can be configured in standard 19-inch equipment racks.
 

The Market
Whether it's a rapidly growing entrepreneurial company or an established international corporation, data is one of a business’s most valuable possessions. Quantum DLT 4700 tape autoloaders protect this valuable commodity by delivering fast, dependable, and fully automatic data backup. Each DLT 4700 tape autoloader
subsystem handles up to seven DLT tapes, making it ideal for high capacity data back-up. For added flexibility, DLT 4700 autoloaders are available in convenient table-top units or can be mounted in a standard 19- inch rack. Also, since data backup needs tend to grow over time, the DLT 4700 has a unique interlocking feature that allows several autoloaders to be joined together on a shelf or in a storage rack for quick and easy expansion.
 
The Ideal Combination - High Performance with High Capacity
The DLT 4700 uses Quantum’s fast, performance-proven DLT 4000 tape drive, designed especially for demanding, high-volume applications. As a result, the
DLT 4700 Autoloader delivers a 3.0 MB-per-second data transfer rate and a 280 GB capacity. To ensure that all that data is accurately recorded and
retrieved, the DLT 4700 uses advanced linear recording technology, a precision tape guidance system, and a special adaptive control mechanism. In addition, a
unique elevator mechanism gives the tape drives both direct and sequential access to the cartridge magazine. This lets the DLT 4700 manage from one to seven
cartridges as a single set for easy backup of large databases.
 
Quantum Quality and Reliability
Like all Quantum products, the DLT 4700 autoloader makes advanced technology simple and manageable. The DLT 4700 operator control panel features straightforward LED indicators that instantly show system status at a glance. Control is equally direct. By simply touching the Mode Select key, an operator can quickly choose from several automatic and manual control options.  Finally, as with all Quantum products, quality and reliability are standard parts of every DLT 4700. With head life rated at a minimum of 10,000 hours and an average of 400,000 mechanical cycles between failures, DLT 4700 autoloaders are systems you can depend on for a long time to come. That’s why, when you’re looking for products you can count on, look to Quantum first.
