Over the last decade, the volume of digital information being created has grown at an astounding rate. The organizations have to preserve this entire massive amount of data for longer time period so as to fulfill the compliance and regulatory concerns. That is where SDLT tape storage technology comes into its own. SDLT or Super DLT has established new industry standards and is ideally designed for high end workstations, data mining, mid-range systems, data centers, video-audio archiving and data intensive environments.

Fuji is a global leader of media storage products and is trusted by the IT professionals and data managers. Fuji SDLT 2 tape cartridges offer high class storage performance and capacity that allows the companies to address the regulators compliance directives and exploding storage requirements.

Fuji does not manufacture tape drives. Fuji SDLT-2 backup tapes perform brilliantly with Quantum SDLT-600 tape drive. Fuji SDLT-II cartridge can hold 600GB compressed and 300 GB un-compressed information at lowest cost per GB. These high capacity tapes provide outstanding tape stability and superior ...
... performance at native speed of 36 MB/sec. Strong base film helps to extend the useful life of Fuji SDLT 2 tapes.

Good news is that you can turn an unused, new Fuji SDLT-2 tape into WORM (write-once read-many) cartridge by using Quantum's exclusive DLT-Ice technology. Therefore the enterprises can easily fulfill the stringent regulatory compliance in a cost effective manner. Thanks to the longer 30 years archival life, the Fuji SDLT 2 tape cartridges efficiently address the storage longevity concerns of the business enterprises.

Superior performance and faster data rate of Fuji SDLT-2 tapes with SDLT-600 drives make it an economical storage medium for data rich backup applications, like those emerging in broadcast and video editing industries. Engineers and technical professionals of Fuji have worked closely with Quantum to introduce technological advancements in Fuji SDLT-2 tape cartridges, which has helped to make Super DLT a winning backup format.

Fuji and Quantum joined their efforts to develop a new innovative and high performance application for broadcast industry. This innovative technology is called DLTxchange that enables video professionals file based workflow in ever changing HD (high definition) environments. Fuji engineers have developed an advanced tape cutting system which assures stable and high quality media in every SDLT-2 tape cartridge. Prefect alignment between tape and head is essential to ensure lower error rate and improved recording/playback reliability.

To assure precise track alignment, Fuji has introduced POS (Pivoting Optical Servo) mechanism that provides excellent tape stability during heavy workloads. This helps to reduce media deterioration, thus resulting in tape longevity. Thickness of tape media has been reduced to 8.0 microns, which has allowed packing longer tape reel in the Fuji SDLT-2 tape cartridge without increasing the cartridge size. That's why the Fuji SDLT-2 tape is preferred for space-constrained environments.
