Exabyte VXA-2 Tape Storage Solution Provides Unmatched Reliability

Viruses, hackers, theft, hardware malfunctions, natural disasters, software bugs and system errors can affect the data integrity or might completely wipe out your precious corporate data. Data administrators are facing new stiff challenges, and are expected to meet regulatory compliance requirements and handle the rapidly growing data amounts with constrained resources. Data managers have to tackle these challenges while dealing with heightened security concerns, government regulations, tighter budgets and increased customer expectations.

Data administrators can trust the innovative VXA tape format that continues to be the leading tape-based standard in SMB market. VXA is the pioneer tape-based technology that provides automated backup solution to a wide range of SMBs. Exabyte has a solid history in providing high-class tape storage solutions for over 25 years. VXA-2 tape solution is not only ideal for SMBs, but also provides unprecedented performance in workgroups, data-intensive backup applications and distributed computing environments.

Storage capacity offered by Exabyte VXA-2 tape cartridge is 80GB/160GB. Increased storage capacity of VXA2 tape facilitates the users to securely transfer their voluminous data files. What’s more, you can quickly backup your data with Exabyte VXA-2 drive’s impressive throughput speed of 6 Mbps (native). At this rate, the VXA-2 drive seamlessly achieves a higher backup rate of 21.6 GB per hour.

The readers might be thinking that how successful is the VXA tape format? The leading giants in backup media and computing systems including Toshiba, Bull, Sony, TDK, Compaq, Fujitsu Siemens, IBM and Panasonic have adopted this innovative tape media format. VXA technology is different from other conventional tape formats. It features a new “data packet” mechanism that provides unrivaled reliability and ensures seamless write/read operations.

The VXA drive breaks the data into smaller chunks and assigns them a unique address. When the drive receives the data packets, it is then re-assembled in the drive’s data buffer. The re-assembled data is then verified and the damaged or missing data is corrected with the 4-level Reed-Solomon error correction code. With the help of these advanced technologies, the VXA tape format is 180 times more likely to correct & remove the errors than conventional tape-based solutions.

SMB customers can also count on Travan tape, lto-1 tape, SLR tape, lto2 tape, dds4 tape and SDLT tape media technologies. AME (advanced metal evaporated) technology has been used for the development of VXA tape media. Base film of VXA tape is very robust, while its uniform tape surface allows precise data tracking and reduces tape friction. The result is significantly reduced tape deterioration and seamless tape movement.

Rough tape handling and unintentional drops are the common causes that can affect the data integrity and damage the tape cartridge. That is why Exabyte has designed a strong cartridge to provide complete peace of mind against such mishandlings. MTBF rating of Exabyte VXA-2 drive is 300,000 hours, which is the highest in its class.

Longer archival life, low operating cost and unmatched reliability make Exabyte VXA-2 tape the most dependable solution for the 21st century business enterprises. Product and software names mentioned throughout this article are trademarks and are sole property of their owners.
