Few of the Business enterprises presume that backup storage system is not essential and it puts an additional burden on their budget, which is wrong. Backup storage actually prevents financial loss, ensures business continuity and provides more long term benefits. You will easily find many business organizations that had collapsed only because they were not able to restore their operational data. You never know when your primary storage devices start malfunctioning due to hardware failure or viruses and you urgently need client’s order details. So you won’t be able to ship the order in-time, thus resulting in lost customer and goodwill. Due to meteoric rise in E-commerce, backup systems are being widely used in developing countries like India, East Asia and Turkey.

Small & midrange industry is dominated by DDS (Digital Data Storage) tape format. It delivers the best ownership cost, space efficiency, durability and seamless scalability. DDS products are manufactured by a number of world-leading companies (ImaIBM, HP, TDK, Imation, Maxell etc). The result is incorporation of new innovative features, improved product ...
... quality, superior technical assistance and wider availability.

Quantum has also included this remarkable DDS technology in its exceptionally-rich portfolio. Quantum’s sixth generation DDS6 solution is a smart option for advanced midrange systems, remote offices and small-scale businesses. This tape solution brings you a comprehensive range of 3.5 and 5.25-inch drives and a durable tape, part number MR-D6MQN-01, for long term archiving. Data storage capacity of this tape cartridge is more than twice its predecessor generation DDS5. A handsome volume of 80/160 GB can be reliably recorded on DDS 6 tape. Its small size, affordable price and long-lasting base film make it the perfect tape cartridge for securing precious organizational data.

The flexible internal & external configurations supported by the SAS, USB and SCSI-3 interfaces provide seamless compatibility to the modern IT centers. With such exceptional drive form factors and interfaces, business enterprises can easily satisfy their specific needs and maximize their DDS investment. In addition, the existing DDS customers using DDS5 and DDS-4 systems are also provided an opportunity to extend their investment. The data transfer speed has been increased to 13.8 MB/second, thus keeping pace with the major backup applications.

By upgrading to this Quantum DDS6 system, you can continue using the previous tapes. DDS 6 drives have this amazing capability to record data onto these previous tapes. Additionally, stored information can also be extracted with superior reliability.

Quantum has closely analyzed the needs of SMB customers, and accordingly has engineered its DDS 6 tape devices to help maximize backup performance and support the enterprise applications. The durable drive head and the tape cartridge’s smooth base film provide customers the best MTBF (Mean Time between Failure) of 125000 hrs. Moreover, the archival life of this DDS6 media tape is 30 year, whereas the durable MP (Metal particle) coating protects the tape reel against harsh working conditions.
