Sun StorageTek T10000 Tape Drive

Front center view

The Sun StorageTek T10000 tape drive raises the bar on data protection, efficiency, and risk mitigation with technical advancements in capacity, throughput, reliability and media reusability. Not only is it fast with 500 GB capacity and 120 MB/sec throughput, the T10000 drive offers exceptional overall value for enterprise IT departments, because it delivers large capacity and reduces complexity to improve the use of information.

  • Supports top-line business growth by affordably and reliably storing greater amounts data
  • Breakthrough performance of 120 MB/second shortens backup windows and saves time and money by doing more work with fewer drives
  • Helps to ensure business continuity with high reliability features, such as the SafeGuide system, that mitigate risk in the data center
  • Enhances security with crypto-ready technology now available on the T10000 tape drive           Request a Quote
  • Do you need to upgrade your existing library?

Key Benefits

  • Drive efficiencies. Store more data in the same footprint and shorten backup and recovery windows with capacity of 500 gigabytes uncompressed data and throughput of 120 megabytes per second.
  • Reuse media. Use the same StorageTek T10000 tape cartridges for at least two generations by reformatting and reusing tape cartridges with next-generation drives.
  • Mitigate risk. Implement device-based encryption with the crypto-ready T10000 tape drive and choose the T10000 tape drive with VolSafe secure media technology for WORM storage.
  • Enhance reliability. Protect valuable information with the StorageTek SafeGuide system for tape guiding.
  • Support demanding, high duty cycle environments. Optimize operations with dual-head, 32-channel technology, which reduces the number of tape passes and extends head and media life. Boost reliability further with speed matching and dual error correction.

Drive efficiencies, reduce total cost of ownership

Unsurpassed performance and capacity

Reach a new performance level with a capacity of 500 gigabytes uncompressed data and throughput of 120 megabytes per second. Store more in the same footprint and shorten back up and recovery windows.

Support demanding, high-duty cycle environments

Optimize operations with dual-head, 32-channel technology, reducing the number of tape passes and extending head and media life. Boost reliability further with speed matching and dual error correction.

Reuse media

Use the same T10000 media for at least two generations. Reformat and reuse tape cartridges for up to one terabyte of data with next generation drives and take advantage of capacity and throughput improvements.

Reduce complexity

Connect using standard FICON and dual-port Fibre Channel options. Support Sun StorageTek enterprise tape libraries and virtual solutions as well as software from Sun and leading third-party providers.

Mitigate risk

Keep information safe

Protect valuable information with the T10000's SafeGuide system for enhanced tape guiding. Media is guided more accurately and reduces tape tension, resulting in less media wear and higher data integrity.

Be compliant with the law

Implement device-based encryption with the crypto-ready T10000 tape drive and choose the T10000 tape drive with VolSafe secure media technology for WORM storage.

Encryption
Encryption The crypto-ready StorageTek T10000B tape drive works in conjunction with the Sun Crypto Key Management Channel rate, uncompressed sustained (Fibre Channel) 120 MB/sec System (KMS). The KMS delivers a simple, secure, centralized solution for managing the keys used to Interface specifications (Fibre Channel) N and NL port, FC-AL-2, FCP-2, FC-tape, 4 Gb FC encrypt and decrypt data written by the T10000B tape drive. Developed on open security standards, the Read/write compatibility interface T10000 format KMS consists of the Key Management Appliance, a security-hardened Sun Fire x2100 M2 rackmounted server and the KMS Manager graphical user interface (GUI) that is executed on a workstation. The KMS runs without regard to application, operating platform, or primary storage device. It complies with Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 certification. Requirements and specifications may change, so check with your Sun representative.
