market)
Go the Distance with the Outstanding Performance and Reliability of
the Eliant 7270 and the Mammoth 7290!
Set the pace for today’s shrinking back-up windows with the Eliant
7270 or Mammoth 7290 8mm tape subsystems. Decision Data gives
you two choices – the perfect solution for upgrading to a high performance tape
back-up solution without sacrificing compatibility to incumbent 8mm archives and back-ups.
(Click on image for specifications)
- Fastest, highest capacity 8mm tape drives on the market.
- Rapid transfer rates of 7-to-22 GB per hour (system dependent).
- 7-to-40 GB storage capacity (14-to-80 GB in compressed mode).
- Reduced SAVE times.
- High reliability.
- Multiple drive addressing.
- Read Compatible with your existing 8mm tape backups an installed base of
more than 1.5 million installed drives and libraries.
- Ideal for near-online storage, hierarchical storage management and
multimedia and imaging archives.
- Available as a single or dual drive unit with individual interface
connection ports.
Retain your current investment in 8mm storage,
and port the system to future technologies. The Decision Data tape subsystems provide more
connectivity, versatility and performance than any other system in their class. The Eliant
7270 and Mammoth 7290 are viable alternatives to 3570
proprietary format tape back-up systems and, in combination with tape back-up software
solutions, offers superior performance.
Decision Data’s 8mm tape backup systems provide superb transfer
rates, high capacity storage and reliability. Compatible with an installed base of more
than 1.5 million drives and libraries, these tape subsystems can serve as a key component
for near-online storage and hierarchical storage management as well as for multimedia and
imaging applications.
Provides a wide range of features. The Eliant
7270 and Mammoth 7290 are available with a variety of
“smart” features: an LCD display for making on-site configuration changes;
operator-configurable emulation; diagnostic port; single-ended and differential host
ports; mirroring; and intelligent cascading. Both tape subsystems are field-upgradeable
from single-drive, single-port to a dual-drive model.
