From: Robotics (Autochangers, Jukeboxes, Stackers, Libraries)

Metrum's data storage division was bought by Lockheed Martin and
renamed MountainGate.

Autochangers for their VHS-based high-capacity (20GB, 2 MB/sec.) tape
drive. They now have a stacker available for standalone drives.

Library of 960 GB (RSS-48b) holds 2 drives and 48 cartridges in a
rotating drum.

Library of 12 TB (RSS-600b) holds 5 drives and 600 cartridges in less
than 20 square feet of floor space. The tapes are held in rotating
drums on each side, with the drives in a rack in between.

OEMs through Convex, IBM, and a host of resellers. Integrated with
various backup and HSM packages, including UniTree from Convex & IBM,
and AMASS from AAP.

See MountainGate also under MO and DLT autochangers.
