FUJIFILM Expands Data Storage Accessory Line.

New Shippers and Cases Offer Improved Data Protection and Organization

VALHALLA, N.Y. -- FUJIFILM U.S.A., Inc., the leading provider of midrange data storage media in the U.S.1, today announced an expanded data storage accessory portfolio including the new Fujifilm Data Tape Courier Professional Case for secure transport of data storage media. The case was created and certified to Fujifilm quality guidelines based on customer requests for solutions to help address increasing regulatory requirements on the storage and handling of data.

"New Federal data retention and storage regulations are making data center managers not only review how they store backup and archive files, but where and how they physically transport them," said Dan Greenberg, New Product Planning Manager, Fujifilm Recording Media Division. "Our customers are asking for additional storage solutions to help maintain consistency, organization and security of their new processes from backup to delivery at any location."

The Fujifilm Professional Case extends the Fujifilm quality certified shipping products the company announced earlier this year. The Data Tape Courier Pro Case is made of lightweight, industrial-strength high-density polyethylene which, in combination with the heavy-duty lockable clasps and soft interior contact points, creates a tough and secure water-resistant seal around the media.

The cases are designed to be stacked on top of each other, and use a series of specially designed, removable insert trays to allow various packing configurations depending on the tape format required. The Professional Case is 14.75"(l) x 11.25"(w) x 5.9"(h) and can hold 18 LTO or 16 DLT[R]/SDLT[R] cartridges in their protective cases, or up to seven 3.5-inch hard disk drives.

Fujifilm Data Tape Carousel

To help IT managers make the most of their data center floor space, the new Fujifilm Data Tape Carousel offers improved organization with an innovative tape rack built exclusively for Fujifilm by Russ Bassett. The 76" tall carousel design stores 768 LTO Ultrium data cartridges, 672 DLT cartridges, or a combination of both in a small 28-inch footprint - critical for the space constrained data center. With heavy-duty full-swivel casters underneath, this rack can be relocated in the data center quickly and safely.

Fujifilm Data Tape Courier

Earlier this year, Fujifilm introduced the first in the Fujifilm Data Tape Courier line - a single-use shipper especially designed for the safe handling and transport of small quantities of midrange and enterprise data cartridges from one location to another.

The new shippers feature a specially designed one-piece plastic clamshell that can hold a single LTO, DLTtape[R], Super DLTtape[R], 3590 or 3592 data tape cartridge. The shippers are also available in five and ten pack units. Patents are pending for the design of these unique shippers, which are made of specially crafted corrugated board and polycarbonate and are fully recyclable. Additionally, each shipper comes with tamper-evident seals and moisture-resistant inner sleeves and non-descript, "plain brown wrapper" appearance to maintain confidentiality of the contents.

New Fujifilm Media Destruction Unit

Data center policies for managing the lifecycle of data on disks and removable media are becoming key to any company's strategy for maintaining data integrity and security. One best practice is to completely erase all storage media containing sensitive and confidential information before disposal. For managers utilizing this method, the Fujifilm PD-8700F Destruction Device is a solution for data centers interested in keeping this process "in-house."

At 29.4" (l) x13.2" (w) x 27.2" (h) and 178 pounds, this sturdy unit combines a powerful capacitive discharge degausser (rated at 10,000 gauss) and a combination media/hard drive destroyer that pierces holes directly into tape cartridges and data platters, rendering them physically unusable.
