8-cartridge magazine for up to
320 GB storage (with 2:1 compression)
Sony new DDS-4 autoloader utilizes an 8-cartridge magazine with a unique
push mechanism tape transport. The magazine design delivers reliable
automated tape handling while reducing the typical mis-grip issues
associated with other tape transport technologies. And with a capacity of 40
GB (with 2:1 compression) per catridge, the TSL-S11000/TB delivers up to 320
GB of storage in a compact form factor.
High performance tape drive
technology built-in
The TSL-S11000/TB autoloader is built around Sony's latest DDS-4 tape
technology, the SDT-11000 tape drive. The first DDS-4 tape mechanism
introduced to the market, the SDT-11000 delivers data at sustained transfer
rates up to 4.8 MB/s (with 2:1 compression) while providing reliable
recording with Sony's patented Super Head CleanerT mechanism.
Full backward compatibility
protects your existing data archives
To secure your investment in data stored on earlier generations of DDS
media, Sony DDS-3 tape autoloaders are fully read and write compatible with
DDS-3, DDS-2, and DDS-1 tape formats.
Trial Bundle of network backup
software
The TSL-S11000/TB autoloader comes with 60 day live trial versions of
network backup applications. Veritas® Backup Exec for Windows NT® and
Windows® 2000, along with Backup Exec for Novell® NetWare® offer both Single
Server and Multi Server editions. See which application meets your needs,
try it on your own network for 60 days, and you can purchase the full
version direct from Sony after the trial period.
High reliability with flexible
configuration
With an MTBF of 225,000 Power-on-Hours and MSBF of up to 180,000 load/unload
cycles, Sony DDS autoloaders deliver high performance with sacrificing
reliability. Sony's unique Hyper MetalT head used in its DDS-4 tape
mechanism reduces error rates by up to 10 times over traditional ferrite MIG
heads. And with the ability to be mounted in either vertical or horizontal
orientation, Sony autoloaders offer the flexibility to fit almost any system
installation requirements. |
