"Less than 50% of small businesses have any or adequate backup, archive, compliance and disaster recovery procedures for their company’s data; they need reliable backup products and they want products that go beyond minimal backup, retention, restore capabilities," said Mitsuyuki Nagano, department manager in the Business Planning Department at Maxell. "RDX technology fills the gap by offering greater functionality: quick data replication, cartridge portability and durability, flexible restore and longevity. Small businesses, such as law firms and medical offices, all need these features. They will get these with RDX products."

"We are clearly glad to have Maxell become a partner of the RDX Storage Alliance and contribute their knowledge to this professional community," said Karl Chen, Executive Director of the RDX Storage Alliance.
