With astounding growth of corporate data, long term security with low IT capital has become a constant struggle for today’s businesses. The structured and unstructured data from the various enterprise databases and applications must be secured for the satisfaction of “Sarbanes-Oxley”, “Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act” and similar type of other data retention laws. The smart approach of backing up data has been adopted by the successful businesses for the past 2-3 decades. So they enjoy smooth business continuity and meet all of their customer demands more efficiently and most importantly, within the allocated time frame.

Small to medium sized organizations have also turned to competitive E-commerce platform, and therefore need to improve security of their vital data assets. As the budget and floor-space continue to shrink, the SMBs are clamoring for more efficient and inexpensive backup systems. Imation, the global leader in digital storage industry, answers the call with breakthrough RDX removable disk format. It is the only disk technology that matches the robustness and delivers the benefits ...
... of tape storage system.

Thanks to the multiple-capacity generations, Imation RDX cartridge solution performs excellently in a variety of busy data centers. From 160GB to a magnificent 1024GB (1.0 Terabyte), the impressive capacity range meets the customers’ specific demands. 26607 is the Imation 160GB cartridge’s part number, whereas 320GB, 500GB, 750GB and 1TB RDX cartridges feature part number 27083, 27127, 27958 and 27957. These disks are shock-resistant, ESD (Electrostatic discharge) resistant and can be taken to remote sites. So the customers can reliably restore information from these off-site datasets, even after longer time duration (20-30 years). Their useful life exceeds 5000 load-unloads, and are compatible with other RDX dock station brands as well. So the Imation RDX customers can confidently work in other RDX environments and share/store large volumes of data.

Imation RDX dock station models are designed to facilitate the IT managers. They can choose the SATA (3.5-inch), SATA (5.25-inch) or USB dock stations for their complex data centers. Universal compatibility of these high-speed dock stations helps customers meet their increasing storage needs. All disk cartridges can be used along with the future generations. So the businesses can back up the rapidly-growing databases by adding new disk cartridges. The biggest advantage is that the overall storage infrastructure would not require any modification, and the businesses can grow without any headaches of system installation. SATA dock stations are faster, and reach a maximum speed of 45 MB per second. The USB models write data at 25 MB/second. Their impressive 500,000 hours (mean time between failures) is unmatched in SMB class. More dock stations can be installed in lesser footprint as Imation has introduced the innovative protective bumpers. IT administrators can stack them horizontally & vertically.

This compact solution further elevates the security level with its EMC Retrospect software. It eases data management, accelerates restores and protects against malicious access through its 256-bit encryption system. Breaking into this robustly encrypted data is almost impossible. So the disks can be preserved in media shelves without any fear of malicious access.
