Optimize your real estate by consolidating servers, storage,
and tape systems into 19-inch racks.The VXA RakPak lets you take advantage of
the VXA-1 tape drive's highly reliable backup and restore capabilities in a
sleek, one- or two-drive package specifically designed for rack mounting. The
VXA RakPak allows you to pack up to 132 GB (2:1 compression) of data in the
space of a single rack unit. For lower capacity requirements, it provides up to
66 GB of storage when optionally configured with a single drive.
The VXA RakPak design combines VXA-1 tape drives with a convenient rack-mount
chassis that fits securely into standard 19-inch racks. Cooling, power, and
grounding requirements are built in. Just secure the unit in your rack, connect
your data cables, and plug the power cord into an outlet. All media is easily
accessible at the front of the rack and the tape drive LEDs are clearly visible
for easy monitoring. As storage requirements grow, additional VXA RakPak units
can be easily installed. And, with packet technology, media interchange is
assured.
The award-winning VXA-1 tape drives are the first and only drives to use
packets, a technology similar to that already proven in the Internet and
telecommunications markets. Uniquely addressed, each VXA data packet can be read
in any sequence - independent of track shape or geometry. This approach
virtually guarantees 100% data restore.
