DLT IV tape cartridges
store up to 20-40 gigabytes of uncompressed data, or up
to 40-80 gigabytes with 2:1 data compression. This
storage capacity makes DLT IV cartridges well suited for
storing, archiving and backing up data in mid-range
systems. StorageTek offers DLT IV tape cartridges via a
partnership with Quantum Corporation |

Applications |
Archiving
DLT8000 tape drives with DLT IV tape cartridges are
a practical choice for efficient archiving of
growing volumes of business data. Expansion of
existing archival environments is straightforward
because the DLT8000 is compatible with previous DLT
tape generations using DLT IV tape cartridges. |
Disaster
recovery
The DLT8000 tape drive with DLT IV tape cartridges
is an excellent expansion tool for disaster recovery
environments built on DLT technology. DLT IV tape
cartridges are in use in many environments, reducing
effort required to insert the DLT8000 tape drive. |
Backup
and restore
Using the DLT8000 tape drive with DLT IV tape
cartridges for backup and restore increases
performance without requiring library, software or
media changes to existing DLT tape environments. DLT
IV tape cartridges are in use in many environments,
reducing effort required to insert the DLT8000 tape
drive. |

Benefits |
High
reliability
DLT IV media is rated for a shelf life of 30 years
and a working life of one million passes |
Enhanced
data protection
Unique DLT technology provides enhanced durability.
With its simple write-protection switch, this media
helps you prevent the loss of valuable data due to
incorrect handling. |
Reduced
costs
Compared with earlier DLT technology, the higher
capacities of these economical cartridges can help
you reduce the number of tapes to buy and maintain
and minimize tape mounts. The maximum capacity of
the cartridge depends on which StorageTek DTL tape
drive you use. |
