8 cassette DAT drive

As IT budgets and staff get smaller and server primary storage gets larger, the demand for automating processes continues to increase. The 12/24GB DAT 8 Cassette Autoloader provides a migration path to higher performance with 4.2GB/hr backup (native) and greater capacity 96GB (native) while providing "hands off" automation for current DDS-1, DDS-2, and DDS-3 standalone customer base. In businesses around the globe, there is an immediate need for large-capacity tape storage that can reliably back up small to medium-scale network servers. To meet this growing business demand, Compaq has added the 12/24GB DAT 8 Cassette Autoloader to their family of tape drive products. The 8-slot cassette magazine now offers a complete weeks worth of automated backup and cleaning cycle without operator intervention. This is especially important in the remote/branch satellite offices where there is a lack of technical personnel available to handle the data protection duties of nightly backup and restore functions.

More and more information is being retained in corporate America today. With this increase of data also comes the need for larger capacity and faster means of archiving the data. The new 12/24GB DAT Autoloader provides up to 192GB with compression of data storage using media management, which in turns lowers cost. Compaq is committed to providing cost effective, high performance backup solutions for the enterprise and the small to medium business. The 12/24GB DAT 8 Cassette Autoloader provides the right solution at the right price.
