The innovative PX500 Series has recently won several prestigious awards, including taking the bronze in the SearchStorage.com and Storage magazine Backup Hardware category of the 2005 Products of the Year. In an article profiling the winners, SearchStorage.com and Storage magazine editors recognized the PX500 Series for its ease of use and modularity by stating, “No other tape library vendor is making frames so easy to stack.” In particular, one judge noted, “You won't need a crane to add things in.” Nominated products were judged by the SearchStorage.com and Storage magazine editorial staff, in conjunction with a team of users and industry experts.
