subject: Data Protection Made Easy And Cost-efficient By The Quantum-branded Backup Formats [print this page] Businesses today are using widest range of digital devices and advanced computing systems that have blossomed into complex networks. Meanwhile, more and more operational data is added to their corporate databases each day. In-time data availability is the top priority and the key to success, which has forced I.T managers to strengthen data security measures. Data cannot be completely restored from a malfunctioning hard disk, and a lot of time will be wasted as well. This along with other threats (software bugs, hackers etc.) slows down your business operations or even brings them to a halt.
With backup storage system in place, there wont be any business discontinuity. Quantum has in-depth technical knowledge and experience in backup technology. The broadest range of solutions designed with state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques makes it the most reliable brand.
Some of the best Quantum-branded backup formats will be discussed that offer low ownership cost and more storage density. LTO (Linear Tape Open) is by far the Quantums most robust and intelligent solution. With an impressive history of 10+ years, Quantum LTO format has catered the customers of small to large organizations. LTO-1 tape generation, launched in the year 2000, offered native capacity of 100 GB. Storage performance doubled in each new generation that has now reached up to 1500 GB, thus making it a smart investment. LTO5 is the latest version and the scalable roadmap has a lot more to offer in future. As the data volume outgrows the storage capability of their current LTO ultrium system, they will only need to make small investment and migrate to next generation. Quantum has intelligently designed LTO drives to operate the fundamental write and read functions with their predecessor.
In the backup disk industry, Quantum RDX technology has high market share. RDX is the new disk standard that also allows safe offsite storage. The disks are enclosed in a highly durable cartridge shell and offer an impressive 160 GB to 1 terabyte recording capacity. The users can reliably archive large volumes of data for up to three decades. To operate these robust disks, Quantum has engineered SATA and USB dock stations. Their respective data streaming speed is 25 and 45 MB/s. The customers will not need to replace these dock stations when they add new RDX cartridges. So the IT staff wont have to go through the headaches of installation and seamlessly increase their backup capability.
Small to medium sized companies are offered an excellent choice of economical tape solutions by the Quantums DDS (Digital Data Storage) portfolio. The high-performance seven tape versions meet off-site storage needs, simplify data management, save more space and are compatible with the widest array of SMBs. DDS 1 tape was introduced with a native 1.3 GB capacity that has now been increased to 160 gigabytes. DAT 320 tape, newest generation, further extends this capacity to 320GB. All DDS generations feature data compression that doubles their storage capacity.
Quantum products clearly outshine in their segment and provide complete peace of mind.
