Unmatched Performance By Exabyte Vxa-2 Tape Drive

It is not easy being a data administrator these days. Their job has become tougher, because the volume of data is growing at a blistering rate and they have to ensure its protection, availability and integrity. As the demand for higher capacity storage medium grew, various new tape formats were developed to address the needs of data rich IT environments. Exabyte, a global leader in backup storage devices, introduced the advantageous VXA tape technology that is developed with scalability & reliability in mind. World's leading media manufacturing companies including Logitech, Compaq, IBM, Toshiba and Fujitsu support the VXA technology.
Exabyte is proud to introduce its highly robust VXA-2 tape drives that are available in external and internal models. Storage capacity offered by VXA-2 tape is 80GB / 160GB. VXA drive offers 2:1 data compression. Exabyte VXA-2 drive assures improved reliability and seamless read/write operations at 6 MB/s native speed. Exabyte VXA-2 drives are fully compatible with its predecessor VXA-1 tape media, which means that it can write and read the VXA-1 backup tapes.
In order ...
... to take full advantage of the high performance VXA tape format, an equally reliable and intelligent tape storage cartridge is required. Exabyte has used the highly advanced AME (advanced metal evaporated) mechanism for developing the VXA tape cartridges. AME technology has helped to improve the capacity and durability, which are required by the intelligent VXA-2 tape drives. Exabyte VXA-2 backup tape delivers excellent storage performance in comparison to other tape cartridges.
Top brands of VXA-2 and VXA-1 tape cartridges are listed below:
Exabyte VXA-2 media tape
11100221
IBM VXA2 tape
24R2137
Exabyte VXA-1 backup tapes
11100206, 11100103, 11100200 and 11100100
IBM VXA 1 tape
24R2134 and 24R2136
Exabyte VXA cleaning cartridge (11100209) is equally compatible with all the versions of Exabyte VXA drives. It delivers superior performance in all drives. VSO Variable speed operation and data packets make VXA tape technology different and superior to other traditional tape media formats. The conventional tape technologies read and record the information in a continuous stream. A slight difference between the transfer speed of host and receiver can degrade the data performance and ultimately lead to read/write errors.
In VXA technology, the long data streams are broken down into smaller data packets. It is very much identical to the process your network breaks the data files into smaller packets and then transfers it over the internet. Exabyte VXA-2 drive verifies each data packet which is recorded to the tape. The intent is to assure superior data integrity.
Also unique to the VXA-2 backup tape drive is VSO variable speed operation. With the help of this unique VSO technology, the VXA drives can adjust their speed automatically to match the transfer speed of the host computer. How cool is that? VSO technology allows the VXA tape drives to prevent the productivity reducing back-hitching problem that is common in streaming drives. Combination of VSO and data packet technologies assures unmatched reliability, excellent storage performance and absolute data integrity. All these powerful prove that high performance VXA tape technology is clearly a winner.
