Protection of mission-critical data is a wise decision that helps you to cost-effectively expand your business operations and comply with the strict data retention regulations. DDS (digital data storage) is an ideal tape-based backup solution for small to medium-sized business enterprises. This state-of-the-art tape format was co-invented by Hewlett-Packard HP. DDS format provides you the capacity, durability and transfer speed to support the demanding needs of today’s commercial applications.

Complete product line of DDS devices is offered by HP, which enables the organizations to manage the increasing data protection demands. DDS tape format’s fifth generation, also called DAT72 tape, is the product choice of many storage-intensive businesses. HP DAT72 tape, part number C8010A, offers exceptional resistance against severe environmental conditions. Thanks to the increased storage density, the compact DAT-72 cartridge can preserve 72 GB compressed data. So the space-constrained I.T environments can efficiently backup their data within a lesser shelf space.

HP DAT 72 drives have been designed in several ...
... different models, which provide businesses the luxury to integrate the drives into a broader range of computing systems. HP DAT72 drives are available in SCSI and USB drive interfaces. Good news is that both SCSI and USB DAT72 drives feature internal and external units. HP DAT72 drives achieve an impressive transfer rate of 21.6 GB per hour, making it an attractive solution for time-critical backup applications. With DAT-72 USB drive, you can initiate backup operations within an extremely shorter time frame of 60 seconds.

Thanks to the HP DAT72 drive’s backward compatibility, the customers of previous two generations DDS4 and DDS3 are provided a smooth migration path. DDS4 and DDS3 media tapes are fully read/record compatible with the HP’s next generation DAT72 drives. The following HP DDS tapes are compatible with DAT72 drives:

HP DDS 3 tape
C5708A

HP DDS4 tape
C5718A

The part numbers of HP’s next generation DAT160 and DAT-320 tapes are C8011A and Q2032A. Uncompressed capacity of HP DAT160 tape is 80GB, whereas 160GB can be reliably recorded onto a single DAT320 tape. That’s why the value-conscious customers prefer HP DDS technology, which not only standardizes their organization-wide backup system but also provides exceptional performance with the popular servers, backup applications and operating systems. Foremost DDS5 tape brands are IBM, TDK, Sony, Imation, Quantum and Maxell.

HP makes sure that its backup media products far exceed the media specifications and deliver unparalleled performance even under increased workloads. HP DDS5 tapes are robust enough to withstand repeated load/unload cycles, accidental drops, severe working conditions and rough tape handlings. HP LTO5 drive’s fast backup speed allows you to reliably load software on servers and create backups of operating system as well. OBDR (one button disaster recovery) is an intelligent solution offered by HP DDS-5 drive, which facilitates the I.T staff to quickly restore the system. HP DAT72 customers can enhance their storage value and staff productivity through its remarkable compatibility with the HP and non-HP servers.
