Not All VXA Automation is the Same!

ExaBotics? is Exabyte's award-winning, patented robotics, built on its 18-year legacy of innovative "firsts" in the industry and its superior engineering, quality and reliability. ExaBotics? is based on a single driving principle espoused by Albert Einstein: "As simple as possible, but not simpler." To this end, Exabyte engineers specify conservative electronics and ultra-reliable mechanical components that undergo intensive testing to ensure data security, accessibility and retrievability. Automation systems are designed to share electronics and processor architecture with drives, adding to reliability and economies of scale. Similarly, Exabyte's self-calibrating, self-correcting firmware mirrors the simple, clean mechanical engineering. Automation products share a common firmware between drive generations and technologies, assuring the ability to use multiple interfaces with the same basic firmware set. With this approach, products perform well early in the design cycle and change little during qualification, resulting in very mature products at launch.

Supported and certified by all major backup applications and compatible with all major operating systems, products engineered with ExaBotics? provide complete plug-and-play capability, regardless of the interface. With the world's largest tape automation patent portfolio and its heritage of industry innovation, Exabyte counts its competitors among its customers for ExaBotics? because of the company's unmatched reputation for superior engineering, quality and reliability in tape automation. ExaBotics? equates to engineering elegance - simplicity of design that results in tape automation products that become an industry standard and deliver the industry's lowest cost of ownership.

All of Exabyte's LTO and VXA Packet autoloaders and libraries utilize ExaBotics? engineering.
