Tape Drive

Tape drive technology has a new standard: VXA Packet Technology. VXA Packets are a better technology than track-based tape drive technology used by DDS and DLT.

VXA Packet Technology

VXA Packet Technology allows the tape drive units to read and write data in packets just like the Internet, enabling far superior restore integrity, greater capacity, and faster transfer speeds, as well as the scalability of three different cartridge capacities.

VXA Packet Technology is explained in this short multimedia tour.
