Reliable back-ups in shrinking backup windows. (Top Technology Showcase).StorageTek's newest tape drive is ideal for users needing to collect, move, and store large volumes of critical data quickly and with added reliability. Offering a 30MB/sec native data transfer (up to 252GB/hour, compressed), 200GB (native) cartridge (1) See phono cartridge. (2) A removable storage module that contains magnetic disks, optical discs, magnetic tape or memory chips. Cartridges are inserted into slots in the drive, printer or computer. capacity, 70% tape motion duty cycles, the T9940B presents exceptional data movement and significantly lowered failure rates. Implementation may significantly lower TCO (1) (Total Cost of Ownership) The cost of using a computer. It includes the cost of the hardware, software and upgrades as well as the cost of the inhouse staff and/or consultants that provide training and technical support. See ROI. for customers requiring this scope of data protection by offering an attractive cost-per-gigabyte-stored. The T9940B provides a high-end solution for data-intensive applications such as backup and recovery, archiving digital assets, and scientific data acquisition and processing. It is the most cost-effective cost-effective, n the minimal expenditure of dollars, time, and other elements necessary to achieve the health care result deemed necessary and appropriate. solution for reliable, expeditious ex·pe·di·tious adj. Acting or done with speed and efficiency. See Synonyms at fast1. ex , secure movement of highly valuable data across all networks and systems. Native 2GB Fibre Channel (FC) interface, like fast access T9840B before it, enables seamless, high-speed connectivity for storage area network (SAN) environments. Direct native fabric connectivity ensures that customers can leverage the T9940B to support their SANs without the need for an additional adaptor An alternate spelling of "adapter." See adapter.

The T9940B also features StorageTek's proprietary VolSafe advanced WORM (write-once, read-many) technology supporting today's stringent electronic data storage regulatory mandates, including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's "non-erasable and non-rewritable" requirements. VolSafe has the ability to maintain the integrity and preservation of legally sensitive data, as well as the ability to cost-effectively store and retrieve this information.
