DLT Super
The dlt super backup/restore system has been a leading product for protecting data. However, technology has moved beyond this system, and it no longer provides the best in data protection.
VXA Packet Tape drives and autoloaders from Tandberg Data offer dlt super users a significant upgrade in capacity, performance, and dependability.
*Offer available to U.S. and Canadian customers only.
The dlt super product has been attractive because dlt super drive costs have been low (drives are generally under $1,000) and tape cost has also been low (about $10-$25 per tape cartridge).
But dlt super users have made steep concessions to enjoy low prices: capacity (20GB to 36GB) has not kept pace with market needs and speed has suffered (3MB/s, 10GB/h max.). Further, due to old-fashioned track-based technology and head-to-tape alignment issues, media error rates have been high and restore dependability has been much lower than expected.
With four times the capacity of dlt super units, about twice the data transfer rate, and several orders of magnitude higher reliability, VXA Packet Technology is simply a smarter, more efficient way to store and retrieve data. VXA Packet Tape technology is nothing short of a revolution in data recording and retrieval. Prior to the introduction of VXA Packet Technology, the fundamental architecture and format of tape drives had not changed in more than twenty years.
