Tandberg Supplies 1TB RDX Cartridge to Fujitsu

Tandberg Data announced that Fujitsu, a long-time OEM partner of Tandberg Data, will add the 1TB RDX removable disk cartridge to its portfolio of RDX cartridge offerings to be used with the Fujitsu PRIMERGY server platform.

Since 2007, Fujitsu has provided its customers with the RDX technology, a backup system that offers safe, secure and offsite disk-based backup and archiving for small and medium sized businesses. Fujitsu also supplies its customers with RDX cartridges from Tandberg Data ranging in capacity from 160GB to 1TB.

"Tandberg Data is the industry leader in supplying major OEMs such as Fujitsu with new and innovative RDX solutions that provide all the benefits of disk, such as near-instant file retrieval and reliability with all the benefits of tape, such as removability and offsite archivability – at an affordable price," said Marije Gould, vice president of marketing for Tandberg Data. "This announcement is further evidence of Fujitsu’s commitment to continually refresh its product offerings with the latest backup and recovery technology on the market."

"Our PRIMERGY Server platform combined with RDX removable disk technology provides customers with the ability to centralize and protect their IT infrastructures easily and economically," said Uwe Romppel, Senior Director Product Management for Fujitsu. "The new high capacity 1TB RDX cartridge allows customers to pack even more data on a single piece of media that can be used for daily backup or for offsite disaster recovery," he added.

Tandberg Data has shipped more than 200,000 RDX QuikStor drives and more than 600,000 RDX cartridges to most major OEMs, resellers and distributors around the globe. The company recently introduced AccuVault RDX 1TB, a RDX appliance, which includes fixed disk, RDX removable disk and preconfigured deduplication software to provide a data protection solution for the SMB/SME.
