OffersThe DLT VS80 and VS160 are available to provide you with the very same mission-critical reliability, capacity, performance, and value found in the successful DLT1, but in a half-height form factor.
A smaller form factor is a tremendous benefit in terms of space efficiency for both internal and external applications. The DLT VS80 and VS160 tape drive features DLT technology’s first half-high, 5.25-inch form factor and offers 80-160 GB of compressed capacity and a 6 MB/second compressed transfer rate. Now PC's PC servers and/or workstations and Workgroups can be backed up on one single tape cartridge housed in the server itself.
Scalability is the Solution
The DLT VS80 & 160 provides a safe and easy transition into high-reliability
tape technology because it offers true scalability. DLTtapeTM IV media is the
basis for making DLT scalability a reality. The quality and reliability of
this media is so exceptional that the Tandberg DLT VS80 was developed specifically
for DLTtape IV media. This media can be used in any DLT tape drive, plus it’s
widely available, so finding it is never an issue. As an added benefit, the
Tandberg DLT VS80 is read- and write-compatible with the DLT1 and read-compatible
with the DLT4000. DLT scalability is now a reality from the desktop to the
enterprise.
TapeWare Backup Application for a Workgroups solution is recomended with VS
tape drives.
