The DLT 8000 tape drive
stores up to 40 gigabytes of uncompressed data on a
single cartridge at speeds as high as six megabytes per
second. This capacity and performance makes the DLT 8000
tape drive a good choice for backup, archiving and
disaster recovery on network storage and midrange
systems. |

Applications |
Archiving
DLT 8000 tape drives are a practical choice for
efficient archiving of growing volumes of business
data. Expansion of existing archival environments is
straightforward because the DLT8000 drive is
compatible with previous DLT tape generations.
*Intermixing DLT 8000 with DLT 7000 or DLT 7000E
drives within the same library is not recommended. |
Disaster
recovery
The DLT8000 tape drive is an excellent expansion
tool for disaster recovery environments built on DLT
technology. The DLT8000 drive can be used almost
interchangeably with existing DLT tape drives* as a
local or remote component of a disaster recovery
network. |
Backup
and restore
Using the DLT 8000 tape drive for backup and restore
increases performance without requiring library,
software or media changes to existing DLT tape
environments. The DLT8000 tape drive can be used in
combination with other drives* to match specific
backup and restore performance and capacity needs. |
|
| |
|
Benefits |
Higher
capacity, performance
The DLT 8000 drive provides 15 percent more native
capacity and 20 percent faster performance than the
DLT 7000 drive that it replaces. |
Investment protection
These drives use industry-standard Quantum DLT 8000
tape technology, which is integrated into leading
tape automation products, including the StorageTek®
L-Series™ tape libraries. |
Enhanced
data protection
The DLT 8000 recording head boasts an average life
of 50,000 hours, and the drive has a mean time
between failure (MTBF) rating of 250,000 at 100
percent duty cycle. |
Faster
backup/restore
Faster throughput and more capacity enable you to
complete backup and restore operations in less time.
|
|
| |
|
Features |
More
read/write channels
For higher performance, the DLT 8000 drive provides
four read/write channels. |
Fewer
moving parts
The DLT 8000 drive’s more direct, gentler tape path
with fewer moving parts is designed for 100 percent
duty cycle applications. |
Reliable
media
DLT 8000 tape media has a shelf life of 30 years and
a working life of one million passes.
|
Read/write compatibility
The DLT 8000 drive is read/write compatible with
previous DLTtape formats, including DLT 4000 and DLT
7000 tape formats. |
