September 2009 by Marc Jacob
Tandberg Data, the global supplier of data protection solutions, today announced it has started to sell DAT tape drives and media products through its global distribution channel. DAT offers small and medium sized business customers affordable and reliable tape backup and restore. Tandberg Data is working closely with HP on the release of DAT320 later this year. Now in its 6th generation, DAT offers an 8 generation roadmap and the largest installed base of any tape technology.
Tandberg DAT tape technology is designed to protect small and medium size business data, offering storage capacities up to 160GB of data on a single cartridge. DAT tape cartridges are small, compact, light-weight and easily transported for offsite storage. Tandberg DAT tape drives are available in a choice of capacities (72GB or 160GB) with a selection of different configurations (internal, external or rackmount) and interfaces (SCSI or USB). The flexibility and choice ensures that the DAT drives can be integrated into most customer environments. Tandberg Data will also sell DAT media. Tandberg DAT data and cleaning cartridges are backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
Tandberg DAT160 supports WORM (Write Once, Read Many) functionality, allowing users to meet regulatory compliance requirements. Government regulations such as SEC and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act have established guidelines on how long data be retained, kept secure and remain unaltered. WORM functionality will offer users cost effective, long term archiving, allowing them to store unaltered data for decades.
DAT drives offer cost-effective backup. With low-cost, durable DAT media, and ongoing low-cost of ownership, DAT drives offer reliable tape backup and archiving to small and medium businesses.
