Rigid data legislations, overwhelming growth in business critical information and constraints in budgets and floor space have forced the data managers to look for higher performance backup solutions. SDLT (super digital linear tape) is a reliable, smart and efficient tape medium that meets the exploding demands of the modern data-intensive companies at a lower cost. SDLT tape solution is the right option for mid-range enterprises, network servers, small businesses, departmental servers and busy data centers.
Hewlett-Packard is a name of trust. HP offers a complete enterprise storage solution that empowers you to handle the challenges of modern backup applications, voluminous data volumes and complex I.T environments. HP has intelligently reduced the overall tape thickness by 10% with the incorporation of new S-PET base film, which has helped to accommodate longer tape reel in SDLT2 cartridge. This results in higher recording capacity allowing the HP SDLT2 tape cartridge to preserve 600GB compressed data. Therefore now the business enterprises can efficiently accommodate larger data amounts within their limited shelf space.
HP SDLT-2 tape products extend the advantages of SDLT tape format by enhancing the durability, reliability and performance standards through technical advancements in media formulation and drive architecture. SDLT 2 tape solution provides a painless growth path, protects its users’ technology investment and minimizes the operational costs.
