Creating a copy of your mission critical data and storing in off-line & off-site is the best solution that facilitates you to recover your data that has been lost, stolen or destroyed due to natural disasters, hardware malfunctions or viruses. Additionally, the volume of digital data over the last decade has also grown at a tremendous rate, which has elevated the demand for fast and higher capacity storage solutions.
Sony, a well-renowned media innovator, has an enormous experience in data storage industry. Sony carefully focused on the current & future storage needs of the customers, and co-developed a new powerful DDS (digital data storage) format. Sony DDS4 tape format delivers exceptional reliability, capacity, flexibility and performance for demanding backup environments ranging from small businesses to workstations and mid-range servers.
Sony has developed a highly robust tape medium and increased the track density, which has boosted the storage capacity of DDS-4 tape cartridge. Part number of Sony’s high capacity DDS4 cartridge is DGD150PWW. Most compelling and cost saving attribute of Sony DGD150PWW cartridge is its smaller size. This tiny tape cartridge can house 40GB compressed data. The customers will need lesser shelf space to accommodate these high capacity DDS4 tape cartridges, and enjoy the benefits of increased recording capacity.
Sony has ensured even dispersion of ultra fine particles across the entire tape length that has resulted in smooth and even tape surface. So the users can confidently perform read-write operations under high duty cycles. Sony DDS4 tape drives deliver highest reliability and fastest transfer speed in their class. The drive achieves up to 4.8Mbps data transfer rate in compressed form. 10 MB data buffer ensures faster data compression and streaming to keep up with the increasing backup needs.
If you are a data manager of small or medium enterprise, then you can also adopt the other major tape technologies including VXA tape, lto-3 ultrium tapes, lto-2 tape, lto5, SLR tape, SDLT tape, dlt-iv tape, Travan tape and dat-72 tape. These tape technologies also support a wide range of business enterprises. I have listed below the part numbers of popular DDS4 tape brands:
26047350, 200028, 40963, 09W083, C5718A, CDM40, 27505, 59H4456
Sony DDS4 products are designed for convenience & flexibility. Sony has employed a powerful “head cleaner” system in all versions of DDS drives, which protects the drive components and storage media from debris and airborne contaminants. In order to further enhance the media durability and data reliability, Sony has employed newly designed “hyper metal” tape heads. These robust read/write heads increase the strength of signals and assure precise data tracking.
Sony DDS4 is indeed a smart tape investment, as the DDS-4 tape drives are fully record-read compatible with four versions of DDS tape. This is really cost efficient as DDS4, DDS3, DDS2 and DDS1 are equally compatible with the DDS-4 drives. Sony DDS4 solution is well suited for today’s business requirements. Exceptional MTBF of 250,000 makes it ideal for busy data centers and management information systems. In short, Sony DDS4 is a reliable format your organization can count on!
