The need for long-term data protection has become essential for all types of organizations, as the industry and government regulations dictate companies to preserve their business documents and other critical organizational data. As the volume of digital data continues to increase exponentially, the IT managers look for more reliable and high-performance solutions to protect and accommodate the mission-critical data. Medium & small enterprises across the globe trust the firmly established Digital data storage (DDS) technology that is ideal for today’s stiff backup storage challenges.

Sony, the global leader in tape storage industry, co-invented this breakthrough DDS technology. Sony DDS-4 tape solution enhances your storage value and supports a variety of enterprise-class applications, workstations, medium-sized data centers, departmental servers and small networks.

Sony has designed a highly durable SDT-11000, DDS4 tape drive that delivers excellent read/write performance and exceptional reliability. It features SCSI-3 Ultra Wide/LVD interface, and is based on the slim 3.5-inch design architecture. It ...
... allows trouble-free installation and can be easily integrated into your data center. The data throughput speed of SDT-11000 drive is 100% higher than DDS-3 drive, providing customers the speed to match with the modern commercial applications and storage software.

To help satisfy the high-performance demands of SDT-11000 drive, Sony developed the robust DGD150PWW, DDS4 media cartridge. This powerful combination provides IT managers a solid platform to overcome the rigorous demands at the best price. Sony’s compact DDS4 cartridge can squeeze 20/40 GB information, which is significantly higher than DDS-3 tape’s 12GB/24GB capacity. Therefore, users can accommodate more data amounts with fewer tapes that will simplify data management and reduce the data storage/retrieval times, which is of course the desire of every data administrator.

Portfolio of Sony’s backup storage products is extremely rich, thus satisfying the broadest range of customer needs. Other Sony-branded tapes which are ideally designed for SMB market segment are DLT-IV tape, LTO3 ultrium tape, LTO1 tape, SDLT2 tape, LTO2 tape and DDS5 tape. These backup tapes are also available from Quantum, Maxell, HP and Imation.

SDT-11000 drive can backup 17.28 compressed data onto DDS4 media cartridge with a reasonable time frame of one hour. That is why it is the IT managers’ most preferred choice for UNIX and Windows NT environments. DDS tape technology has been carefully engineered to provide cost-effective scalability, without sacrificing the previous DDS tape resources. SDT-11000 drive can read and write all the previous three DDS tape versions DDS3, DDS-2 and DDS-1. This allows the customers to share and backup data from different DDS tape systems, thus further elevating the storage value.

Sony SDT-11000 drive’s self cleaning mechanism helps to reduce the harmful effects of debris and dust accumulation which improves the working life. Furthermore, the improved data-buffer capacity enables faster data compression and consistent performance. All of these advanced technologies enable the SDT-11000 drive to deliver a superior MTBF rating of 250,000 hrs, which is simply the best in its class.

Sony DDS4 is the most efficient tape technology worthy of your organization’s most precious and sensitive data.
