As a data manager, you have to maximize the data security, reduce the complexity of data center, ensure fast access and devise a plan to deal with the exploding corporate databases. Virus, unauthorized access and hardware failures can result in data corruption or erase your confidential information and business-critical data files. By creating data backups, your business operations won’t get interrupted and you can prevent hefty financial losses.

Small and mid-sized companies are usually struggling with tight I.T budgets along with constrained space. Therefore, they require compact and robust backup systems that don’t require huge investment, and provide a scalable roadmap.

Tape-based system that is the first choice of millions of SMB customers around the world for more than two decades is Digital Data Storage, in short DDS. HP Hewlett-Packard, the global innovator and major supplier of backup storage solutions, co-invented this durable and efficient DDS format. HP DDS-6 media tape system delivers the best cost per GB and superior data protection in ...
... midsized IT environments, entry level servers and small organizations.

Wider array of table-top, rack mount and internal HP DDS6 drive units (featuring USB and SCSI interfaces) take the head-ache out of system compatibility. Now the data administrators can efficiently install the DDS-6 drives within their demanding I.T centers.

The customers can fully utilize the high-performance technologies and robust security features of this intelligent DDS6 system with the HP’s durable C8011A, DDS6 tape.

As compared to the rival tape formats, the capacity of next generation usually doubles over its prior version. But this is not the case with HP DDS6 tape. In comparison to the DDS-5 media tape , the DDS6 tape’s capacity has been increased from 36GB (native) to 80GB, which is more than 100%. HP DDS-6 tape preserves an impressive amount of data reaching up to 160 GB (compressed rate). So the users will need to add few tapes to their dataset, and easily meet the ever-increasing data security demands. Another benefit is the reduced amount of backup devices, which will ultimately ease burden on I.T staff and also lower the budget.

Installation time of DDS-6 USB drive is less than 1 minute. This drive model also facilitates the customers by eliminating the requirement of host bus adaptor and minimizing port conflict. You can easily deploy greater quantity of HP DDS6 drives within your complex data centers because they feature the space-efficient half height architecture. Investments made in previous DDS5 and DDS4 tape systems will be extended, as data can be stored and retrieved from these tapes without any hassle with all these DDS 6 drive models. So the customers of previous DDS systems won’t lose access to their data files that have been backed up on DDS4 & DDS5 tapes. HP DDS 6 drives are also unmatched in terms of “Mean Time Between failure MTBF”. At 12% duty cycles, the DDS 6 drives deliver MTBF rating of 1 million hours, which is a great attraction for value conscious customers and computing systems using time-critical applications.
