Restore Data

Tandberg Data Corporation offers SMB products built on award-winning VXA Packet Technology and designed specifically to restore data 180 times better than DDS and DLT tape drives.

VXA Extreme is the definitive proof that VXA tape drives can restore data which, with any other tape technology, would be lost without any chance of recovery. In the VXA Extreme Tests, the VXA-1 tape drive restores data from tapes that have been boiled, frozen solid, and dunked in hot coffee.

What VXA Extreme is NOT...

VXA Extreme is not about how tough the VXA Packet Tape media are. The point is that, even with tapes that have been abused and damaged beyond the tolerance of any conventional tape technology, a VXA-1 tape drive restores the data - successfully.

Independently Extreme Tested...

Ingeni�ren, a Danish engineering publication, challenged our drive -- all three tests, with one tape cartridge. That's Extreme Testing to restore data. See their results, translated into English.

Sm@rt Reseller challenged the VXA-1 with an Extreme test: "plunging two tapes in hot (160�F) coffee. After rinsing both tapes in distilled water and drying overnight, the VXA-1 drive successfully read, verified and restored data from both tapes without a hitch. Try that with your newest conventional backup tape!"

Don't Try This At Home...

There is no substitute for proper care of your data storage equipment. No tape manufacturer intends for media to be subjected to the conditions of the VXA Extreme Tests as part of normal use. But, if and when the unthinkable happens, wouldn't you rather be on the safe side, with VXA?

VXA Packet Technology offers network managers data reliability that is unmatched in the industry to restore data. VXA Packets write and read data in small packets, like the Internet. This is a much more safe and efficient way to store and retrieve data from tape and a better way to handle backup network issues.

The Storage Loader VXA-172 sets a new standard in data reliability, capacity, transfer speed, and price for backup network needs. It is the only 1u autoloader with a field-replaceable drive, allowing for easy upgrades to future generations of VXA drives without the cost of buying a whole new autoloader. Take this multimedia tour to see how VXA can restore data better than track-based technology like DDS and DLT.
