The Sun StorageTek™ T10000 tape drive is designed with three results in mind: boost efficiency as a way to reduce cost, mitigate risk associated with data protection and reduce complexity to improve the use of business information. The T10000 tape drive raises the bar on efficiency through advancements in capacity, throughput, and media reusability. It helps mitigate risk through multiple reliability enhancements as well as VolSafe™ secure media technology. And it introduces simplicity in high duty cycle enterprise and open systems environments by integrating easily with other Sun solutions and third-party solutions. Greater efficiency contributes to lower total cost of ownership. At 500 gigabytes and 120 megabytes per second, the T10000 more than doubles the capacity and highest native throughput of the previous generation T9940 tape drive. You can use fewer cartridges and optimize both space and cost. Shrink backup windows and/or use one drive to perform the work of two. In addition, you can protect your investment in media. Reformat and reuse T10000 media with the next generation tape drive to take advantage of higher capacity and faster throughput. Drive efficiencies Take your data center to a new performance level with 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. 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. Mitigate risk Protect valuable information with the T10000’s SafeGuide™ system for tape guiding and VolSafe™ secure media technology for WORM storage. 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. Reduce complexity Connect using standard FICON and dual-port Fibre Channel options. Support StorageTek enterprise tape libraries and virtual solutions as well as software of Sun and leading third party providers. |
