Business enterprises in the 21st century internet-driven marketplace face numerous stiff challenges. The most vital issues are data security and in-time data availability. These challenges become stiffer with virus attacks, malfunctioning of hard drives and software bugs. As a result, the businesses might not be able to satisfy their clients’ requests within the defined time frame. For business sustainability and seamless growth, you must save a copy of corporate data. Backup storage process should be done periodically.

Quantum offers exceptionally economical, smart and efficient backup solutions for your business needs and industry. SMB (Small and Medium Businesses) are also burdened by the strict data retention legislations. That is why backup storage has become a fundamental operation in SMBs.

For this fast-growing segment, the smart tape storage solution is Digital Data Storage (DDS). A wide range of business enterprises can maximize their storage performance, as Quantum has engineered multiple versions that offer a complete set of media tape and compact drives. DAT-320 represents the latest DDS version. ...
... Recording capacity of this generation is 160GB / 320GB. Capacity offered by previous generations DDS4, DDS5 and DDS6 cartridges is 40 GB, 72 GB and 160 GB.

Advantageous feature of Quantum DDS drives is the two-generation backward compatibility. Both previous generation tapes work seamlessly for data recording and read operations. This helps to enhance the usability of your existing DDS tapes, while maximizing the storage value. The intelligent 2:1 data compression functionality boosts the DDS system’s performance and capacity by 100%. So, the Quantum’s durable DDS tapes will require lesser shelf space to pack the voluminous data.

Installation is extremely flexible with Quantum’s USB 2.0, SCSI LVD, SAS and SATA 2.0 drive interfaces. Therefore, data from the advanced small & midrange systems can be confidently and quickly backed up onto the DDS system. The 5.25 and 3.5-inch design architectures also contribute to the exceptional compatibility and efficient utilization of IT budgets.

MR-D6MQN-01 is the sixth generation DDS tape; whereas the part numbers of DDS-4 and DDS-5 are CDM40 and CDM72 respectively. These tapes optimize the performance, and ensure consistency even after multiple load/unloads. Quantum DDS tape solution’s cost per GB is the lowest in small & midrange tape segment. So the companies can save money and achieve their objectives of long term storage and in-time data availability. The data transfer speed also matches with the high performance demands of the major backup applications and operating systems. DDS 6 tape drives feature 13.8MB/second, and its predecessor DDS5 drives backup at a speed of 7 MB/second (compressed rate).

Robust media coating enables the Quantum DDS media tapes to secure data for up to 30 years. The tape path area is completely sealed with an innovative “smart Shield” feature. So the tape reel and drive head are protected against dust and other pollutants. As a result, the mean time between failures boosts to 125,000 hours (DDS 6 tape drives). Quantum DDS is the best dependable solution that enables smooth scalability, fast data access, and provides robust security.
