NovaStor Certifies Imation RDX A8 Library

NovaStor Software AG announced the certification of Imation’s hard disk storage library RDX A8 for use with its enterprise backup software.

With NovaBACKUP DataCenter and RDX A8, SMBs benefit from a cost-effective, yet performance and scalable alternative to tape library backup.
 
Cost-effective Network Backup
With the eight RDX removable disk cartridges configured for 1TB drives, SMBs can access up to 8TB of data simultaneously. The multi-bay RDX A8 networked storage array may be accessed as either a backup target or as online storage.

NovaBACKUP DataCenter views the RDX A8 as tape library allowing SMBs to benefit from the removable media and management options usually reserved for tape libraries. If distributed locations such as satellite offices are equipped with the RDX A8 all backups at these locations can be managed in one location using NovaBACKUP DataCenter’s central management.
 
As enterprise backup software NovaBACKUP DataCenter supports the operation of the RDX A8 in disk and tape library mode – allowing for flexibility. The solution is optimized for scalability and allows for data loads. With it, companies take advantage of the capacity of the RDX A8, its fast access times, high transfer rates, and ruggedized media for reliable performance.
