To succeed in this competitive environment, the organizations heavily depend on in-time availability of their financial and user data. In-time availability of useful information assists the managers to make proactive decisions, and be fully prepared to take on the upcoming challenges. Therefore you need a reliable storage medium, which can fulfill and support your data storage & archiving needs at an affordable price. Allow me to introduce you to SDLT, which is the most economical backup tape technology. Super DLT meets the demands of massive capacity, low cost per GB, superior read/writer accuracy and longer shelf life in a cost effective manner.

SDLT is the next generation of the cost efficient DLT technology. SDLT tape format extends the value proposition of enhanced media reliability and cost efficient tape media technology for mid-range and small enterprises. Native capacity of Super DLT cartridges ranges from 110GB to 300GB. SDLT tape drives offer both automation & direct attach configurations. SDLT tape technology offers compelling features which make it more reliable and cost effective than other ...
... competitive mid-range tape technologies. Super DLT tape offers more flexibility as the users can easily upgrade their data storage from single tape drive to automated system. SDLT is the most ideal technology to meet challenges of voluminous backup storage.

Top brands of SDLT-1 and SDLT-2 cartridges are listed below: IBM SDLT-1 tape ( 35L1119 ) HP SDLT 1 tape ( C7980A ) Maxell SDLT-1 backup tape ( 183700 ) Sony SDLT-1 data tape ( SDLT1-320 ) Quantum SDLT-1 tape ( MRSAMCL01 ) Imation SDLT 1 ( 16260, 17549 ) Quantum SDLT 2 media tape ( MRS2MQN01 ) Maxell SDLT 2 data tape ( 183715 ) Fuji SDLT-2 cartridge ( 26300201 ) Imation SDLT 2 data tape ( 18040, 16988 ) HP SDLT-2 tape ( Q2020A ).

SDLT tape format is best suited for departmental backups and data centers. Magnetic and optical recording mechanisms have been employed in the high capacity SDLT tape format. The data recording heads have been precisely aligned in Super DLT tape technology with the utilization of Laser guided magnetic recording (LGMR) process. POS (Pivoting Optical Servo) is an advanced servo system, which is the core of the LGMR mechanism. Pivoting optical servo system combines the laser servo guiding and high density magnetic recording mechanisms to further elevate the resistance of SDLT tape media. The pivoting optical servo enhances the robustness and resistance of SDLT tape against external environmental influences including pollutants, humidity, and temperature.

SDLT tape cartridges deliver excellent performance during heavy duty cycles. POS technology has helped to lower the manufacturing costs of SDLT tape cartridges. Optical servo is also deployed on the SDLT tape's backside to further enhance its capacity, as the entire surface of recording media becomes readily available for data storage. Optical tracking laser moves along the media's backside when the tape reel passes through the POS. High speed SDLT tape technology assures long-term investment protection, greater reliability and low operational costs. SDLT data tapes are ideally designed for departmental backups, remote offices and data centers.
