Imation Will Make Cartridges for Sun StorageTek T9840D Tape Drives
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on Fri, February 29th, 2008
Imation is the traditional manufacturer of proprietary tape media of StorageTek and now Sun.
"Customers can protect their media investment and virtually double storage capacity as compared with the Sun StorageTek T9840C tape drive resulting in both economical benefits--lowering total cost of ownership, and ecological benefits--showing a reliable use of legacy media," said Tom Maiorano, Senior Director WW Storage Media Business, Sun Microsystems, Inc. "The integration of Sun's latest world-leading fast-access enterprise tape drive design and Imation's long-standing media expertise delivers optimized throughput and media re-use with additional storage capacity."
"By supporting Sun Microsystems' next-generation tape drive platform, Imation continues to demonstrate its commitment to deliver the advanced tape storage solutions that enterprise customers demand," said Subodh Kulkarni, vice president, Global Commercial Business, R&D and Manufacturing, Imation. "We are pleased to continue to work with Sun to help data center customers maximize and protect investments in their automated tape library environments."
The Sun StorageTek 9840 half-inch tape cartridge draws on Imation's more than 50-year history of technology development and manufacturing excellence, including:
- Revolutionary Internal Tape Path Design, improving data integrity and access time by managing the tape movements completely within the cartridge. The tape rides on a cushion of air that virtually eliminates friction between the tape and guides, enabling the fastest search speeds of any tape storage system.
- Mid-point dual-hub Design with the ability to start searches from the middle of the tape, not the end, saving time by delivering faster access to data.
- Advanced, Factory-Written Servo Pattern, enabling precise read-write performance for exceptional reliability. Imation developed the world's first servo-written cartridge and continues to lead the industry in servo-writing development.
