Protection and management of corporate data has become challenging over the past decade, due to increased cybercrime and remarkable growth in E-businesses. Interruption in business operations caused by data loss can result in lost revenue, whereas failure to recover data can make the business inoperable. You can overcome such disasters by creating copies of your mission-critical data, in short, install a backup system.
Small & medium enterprises with tight budgets, slim IT staff and growing data amounts have long trusted the world-renowned DDS (Digital Data Storage) tape format. Sony is a technical expert of DDS tape format and provides highly durable and smart solutions for the protection of valuable data assets.
Sony DDS 4 media tape system’s fast speed, compact size and high storage capacity provide excellent solution for mid-sized network systems, workstations, enterprise-class applications and small organizations. SDT-11000 represents high-speed family of DDS 4 drives engineered by Sony. These drives feature robust read/write head, which improves data accuracy and reduces tape deterioration, thus ensuring rock solid reliability with modern time-critical applications. Sony DDS4 cartridge, part number DGD150PWW, features an exceptional 20/40 GB capacity.
Backup storage and retrieval processes are extremely fast with SDT-11000 tape drives. Sony DDS 4 drives store data at an enhanced speed of 2.4/4.8 Mbps. Therefore within an hour, the drive can backup a tremendous 17.28GB data.
DDS Manufacturers Group features the leading tape media giants. Therefore, the customers are taking advantage of the high-quality DDS devices, which are available at competitive prices. Other major DDS4 brands which can be used for long term archiving are 200028 (Maxell), 40963 (Imation), 59H4456 (IBM), 26047350 (Fuji), 09W083 (Dell) and C5718A (HP).
These newly-designed Sony DDS4 drives have special vents, which improve the airflow and prevent dust particles from entering the tape drive. This innovative approach helps to cool down the heat-producing drive components and provide a clean path for tape movement. Pollutant-free tape path area means longer working life and superior read-write reliability.
Sony SDT-11000 drive has not been designed to operate the DDS4 media cartridges, but can also write and retrieve data from its preceding three DDS generations. This facilitates the DDS customers to upgrade their system and take advantage of the business-critical data backed up on DDS1, DDS2 and DDS-3 tapes. So the IT managers can enjoy the benefits of enhanced performance and recording capacity, while keeping in touch with their previous backup data. With a remarkable 360MB/sec data searching speed, the I.T staff can quickly extract the required data file from the voluminous database, which is important in today’s competitive business environment.
The data buffer’s capacity has been increased to 10MB, which enables the Sony SDT-11000 drive to compress data at a faster rate and ensure consistent performance. So the I.T administrators can keep up with the organization’s exploding backup demands.
The base film of Sony DDS4 cartridge has a uniform surface and an ultra-fine magnetic layer. As a result, the noise level reduces significantly and the tape reel can seamlessly move through the drive area during high duty cycles. So the SDT-11000 drive achieves an unbeatable MTBF of 250,000 POH.
