SDLT tape cartridge
 
SDLT tape cartridges store up to 110 gigabytes of uncompressed data, or up to 220 gigabytes with 2:1 data compression. This large storage capacity makes SDLT cartridges ideal for storing, archiving and backing up large volumes of information. StorageTek offers SDLT tape cartridges via a partnership with Quantum Corporation.

Applications
Backup and restore
Using SDLT tape drives and tape cartridges accelerates backup and restore processes by processing more data in less time. SDLT tape cartridges have durability and reliability needed for reliable backup storage and restoration.
Archiving
SDLT tape drives and tape cartridges are a practical choice for archiving growing volumes of business data. SDLT tape cartridges have high data integrity and long data life to securely retain data over its archived life.
Disaster recovery
SDLT tape drives and tape cartridges are an integral part of site-wide disaster recovery processes that remotely vault data in tape form for recovery in case of disaster. SDLT tape cartridges have high data integrity and long data life to help protect and preserve data in case of data loss.
 
Benefits
Reduced costs
The high capacities of these cartridges can help you reduce the number of cartridges to buy and maintain, minimize tape mounts and improve automation efficiency.
 
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.
 
Features
Standard features:
Bar-coded number
A unique bar-coded volume/serial (VOLSER) number identifies the tape for the host computer, which then indexes stored files to VOLSER numbers.
Lifetime warranty
StorageTek’s SDLT tape cartridges are covered by a lifetime warranty.
Cartridge labeling
Cartridge labeling and system testing are provided standard for all SDLT tape data cartridges. This is added value from StorageTek.
