High Performance Quantum SDLT-1 Tape Storage Technology

Increased volume of digital multimedia, rush to E-commerce, rigid data legislations and modern backup applications have skyrocketed the demands for data protection.

SDLT tape is the backup industries most cost-effective and dependable storage technology, which keeps your business critical data secure and satisfies the rigid regulations.

Quantum manufactures high quality SDLT tape products that provide exceptional performance in automated library systems, mainframe environments, high-end workstations, midrange computers and network servers. Quantum SDLT tape devices have set new standards for capacity and performance.

Fast speed Quantum SDLT-320 drives, based on SDLT-1 tape format, are trusted by the leading companies for long term security of their valuable data assets. Quantum SDLT-320 tape drives are robustly designed to withstand high duty cycles and sustained transfer speed of 32 MB/sec (compressed). 160 GB native information can be packed on a Quantum SDLT 1 tape. Previous generation DLT-IV tapes are read-compatible with the higher capacity Quantum SDLT-320 tape drives. This backward read functionality provides the users a strong grip on the previously backed up information.

Customers of modern enterprises can count on the Quantum SDLT-1 tape technology. Product roadmap of SDLT is intelligently designed to provide its customers a smooth up-gradation path. Scalable roadmap of SDLT offers multiple generations with media capacity reaching over 1 terabyte.

Track Density of Quantum SDLT-1 tape has been increased to 1058 tracks per inch, which allows the small sized cartridge to hold massive volume of data. Quantum SDLT 1 tape devices assure superior performance and long term investment protection. SDLT tape media format offers the efficient features of both optical and magnetic tape technology.

Quantum SDLT-1 drives feature HVD Ultra SCSI and LVD Ultra-2 SCSI interfaces, which provide instant connectivity to the complex server environments and busy data centers. Quantum has introduced new cartridge design that has helped to decrease the tape tension, which results in tape longevity and rock solid reliability. Quantum SDLT-1 backup tapes offer incredible useful life of up to 1,000,000 media passes.

Low operational cost and increased bit density makes Quantum SDLT-1 drives the best optimal choice for automated environments. In compressed mode, the SDLT-320 drive records up to 115 GB information in one hour. This enables the users to quickly backup their voluminous data with superior integrity. Quantum SDLT-1 data tapes achieve exceptional reliability with the help of a new buckling system that allows seamless tape movement, accurate data tracking and reduces tape tension.
