Tandberg SLR Tape Drives

 
 
 
   
       
 

THE THIRD GENERATION
The Third Generation Tandberg SLR tape drives are designed to deliver on the increased demands of the removable storage market in terms of capacity, transfer rate, scalability and use of existing media now and in the future. The ideal entry-level product is the SLR7 with a capacity of 20/40*GByte and a transfer rate up to 21.6 GByte per hour (6*MByte/sec). The SLR7 is the best appropriate solution for entry level servers providing outstanding price/ performance as well as the ability to easily upgrade to higher capacity SLR drives in the future.

Tandberg SLR140 represents the flagship of the SLR product family offering a capacity of 140*GByte storage capacity and a transfer rate of 43.2 GByte per hour (12* MByte/sec) delivers equal capacity and performance features of a midrange streamer at an extremely attactive price. Backward compatibility and the possibility to migrate to the SLR140 Autoloader provides the user investment protection and a fast return on investment.

Tandberg SLR140, SLR100, SLR75,and SLR7 are based on a new hardware platform design using a more robust mechanics, new mainboard, a new more efficient recording and decoding method, and an improved read/write head. Coupled with the highly professional Metal Particle (MP+) magnetic media cartridge from Imation, SLR technology provides quality, reliability and security for mission critical data.

 
 
SCALABILITY AND BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY
Continued development of the well proven SLR technology is an on-going process at Tandberg Data in contrast to many other technologies due to their limitations in technical design. SLR technology provides the customer the choice based on their capacity and performance requirements from an uncompressed capacity of 4GByte up to 70 GByte native on a single SLR data cartridge. SLR automation solutions allow up to 1120* GByte capacity and up to 43.2* GByte/hr data transfer rate. In the future, SLR tape drives will offer 400 GByte per cartridge providing companies the capability to plan their expansion in storage requirements on a long-term basis.
 
INCREASED TRANSFER RATE
The new SLR platform was designed with performance in mind. When storing data with high compression factors like text and other office data, the SLR outperforms most competition. Benchmark testing shows that with highly compressible data, the transfer rate can reach over 30MByte per sec. (>108GByte/hr). To optimize the backup time for host computer with various data transfer rate, several features are built into the SLR140 , SLR100, SLR75, and SLR7 tape drives.
