ANDATACO's Tape Backup Solutions


Tape backup is an integral element of today's network storage architecture. Because today's UNIX system environments are highly diversified, so are the backup requirements. ANDATACO offers solutions for the single workstation backup to the enterprise-wide backup. No matter what your requirements may be, ANDATACO provides storage solutions for any size UNIX environment.

Tape Subsystem Technology

8mm Drives, Autoloaders, Libraries and Arrays
If you prefer 8mm technology, ANDATACO offers several solutions as well. Solutions include a single drive, single and dual tape drives with LCD displays, libraries, autoloaders with and without RTH (Robotics Tape Handling) and tape arrays utilizing RAID level 3.

DLT Drives, Autoloaders, Libraries and Arrays
If you require high data throughput and high storage capacity on a single tape drive, consider DLT (Digital Linear Tape) technology. ANDATACO's DLT solutions include single drives, libraries, autoloaders and tape arrays utilizing RAID level 3.

LCD Display Subsystems
ANDATACO is proud to offer an intelligent LCD display for both our 4mm DDS-2 (ENC-4001S) and an 8mm 8505XL (ENC-8001S) single drive desktop subsystems. The LCD display allows you to instantly access information such as:

Dual Drive LCD Display Subsystems
Do you need more capacity or the ability to mirror your data? If so, ANDATACO is proud to offer dual array subsystems in both 4mm DDS-2 desktop subsystems and 8mm 8505XL desktop subsystems. These units provide all the features of the LCD display subsystem plus the added enhancements of operating in:

Robotics Tape Handling (RTH) Enhancements
Do you need high-capacity unattended backup? If so, ANDATACO offers a 4mm autoloader with a six cartridge magazine, and an 8mm autoloader with a 10 cartridge magazine. Without the need of drivers or expensive backup software, random tape access can be achieved using simple commands. This provides a low-cost solution to near-line storage. Each system includes a controller built into the autoloader and ANDATACO's own RTH Software. The RTH enhancements include:

RAPID-Tape Array
If your backup window is shrinking and secure data storage is important to you, ANDATACO proudly offers RAPID-Tape arrays for UNIX servers and workstations. RAPID-Tape arrays are the fastest tape arrays in the world. RAPID-Tape is a series of tape devices working in parallel with an intelligent controller to offer up to 4 times the storage capacity and performance of a single tape device. Other significant advantages include:
