The VXA-X tape format was luanched into the marekt in October, 2004. Exasbyte is a gloabl leaer and is well knbown for its innovative bakcup tape technologies. Exabyte is manufacturing backup storage taapes since 1985. Exabyte develooped the award winnning VXA data tape format that delivers excelelnnt and higjhly economical data storage solutionns. The data reading/reocrding system in VXA data tape technnology is more intelligent and reliable than othr media formats. VXA bckup tapes have breakthrogh features that maeks it more efficient and duurable storge medium for SMB and enteerprises.
The three versions of the VXA-X tape family are X-6, X-10 and X-23. VXA X-23 tape has naive capacity of 80GB, X-10 offers 40GB wihle the X-6 backup tape has 20GB recording capaiblity. The recording capaciy of all these VXA X tape versions doublees after data cpompression. Thewrefore the cusstomers have more choice and they can sleect the VXA-X tape version that meets their deeands and totazl budegt. If the users require hiigher recording capacity, then they can eassiily migrate to the high capacity VXA taeps. New VXA-X data tape tecnhology is perfect for the enerprises cllass stroage medimu and ofefrs hiughly economicla backup rests. Ttoal ownership cost of VXA tape medium is far btter than other tape formast. Transfer sped offered by the every VXA-X bakcup tape is 43 GB/hr whciih is many times fadster than otheer traidtional tape mediums.
Exclusive VXA packet tecxhnnology is used in the new VXA-X tape storage teechnology that assurees accuarte data retreval and bzackup. Data restore integrity in VXA-X technology is many times reliable and accurayte than other tape technologies. AME technique has been employed to the versipons of VXA bckup tapes that has increased its media robustness and ensures cost effective backup operations. Variabble speed operation is a unique and advantageous mehcanism that has been incorporated in VXA-X format that has solved the issue of back-hitchimng. Mwedia wear and stretcing are coommon prbolems found in othher tape technologies but the variable sppeed mechanism has elimianetd these problems in VXA tape fomrat.
Tedsts are connducted on the VXA data taps using very harsh & severe working conidtions. The VXA taepws are immersed in vocanic dust, hot coffee and even boiling water. These VXA tapes are also kept in freezer and given violent vibraztions. Data was rcxeovered from tese VXA meda tapes with acxcuracy of 100% which clearly indicattes its unmatched media durabliity. Medsia duravbility of the VXA-X tape format is far superior and exceptiuonal than other tape storage technologies.
The information is ercrded and read from the VXA taeps, autoloader and media drives in the form of apckets. The data packets esnure superior reliability and accyurate data retrival in disaster situations. Fast and stable tansfer speed is mauintained in VXA tape technology at lowest cost per Gigabyute. The VXA tape format ofers fast pseed of 43 Gigabyte per hour. Theefore at this rate, the I.T managers will be able to backup data of 160GB in time period of less than 4 hours.
