Effective Workflow With Quantum Sdlt-600a
DLT (digital linear tape) tape technology is cost effective, robust and highly reliable. DLT is one of the most successful and popular backup tape formats. Based on the technology of DLT, Quantum has introduced SDLT 600A tape drive system (video centric). Quantum SDLT-600A has “DLT-exchange”, which enhances the work flow effectively and reduces the cost. Quantum SDLT-600A when connected to network through Gigabit Ethernet having FTP access (built in), provides SDLT-600A interoperability like SDI (serial digital interface) video. On the tape of SDLT-600A has a special file system, which makes any tape cartridge readable & accessible anytime, anywhere by any OS and platform.
As soon as the tape cartridge is loaded initially in the Quantum SDLT-600A, the table of contents of the tape is loaded into the tape drive’s RAM memory. Table of contents can be viewed by the user via browsers (FTP client or Window explorer) and Ethernet connectivity. This accessibility has given user has the choice to specify the files that are to be transferred or to restore sub clip’s time segments in partial “file restore”, then the tape drive will access that specific files. The users had to access whole file with the previous video tapes, then they viewed the contents and then afterwards had to determine the segments they wanted to restore. This was very time consuming & manual intensive process.
SDLT-600A along with the “DLT-exchange” utilizes the media of “SDLT II-A” offering native capacity and transfer speed of 300GB & 36MB/second respectively. Transfer of partial file and file metadata’s fast access is possible with the Quantum SDLT-600A. The Quantum drive accesses SD content and High Definition format quicker than “real time” because the data transfer speed of the tape drive is faster than compressed video’s speed of data. For example, HD content of 100MB/second (like DVCPRO-HD) can be 3 times faster transferred than real time and SD content of 25MB/second (like V25) can be 12 times faster transferred as compared to real time.
The audio & video files on rugged cartridge provide a reliable mechanism for transferring of content from & to the “play-out servers” in environments that are mobile like in sporting events the mobile trucks. It is easy to move the SDLT tape-IIA between video facilities and libraries. Risks that are associated with application dependencies and vendor can be minimized because there is a file system (built-in) in each SDLT tape-IIA cartridge. All applications can access this file system.
In situation of disaster recovery, tape cartridges from archive can be inserted into any tape drive to retrieve the content. The benefit of the SDLT random access technology over the other storage systems (hard disk or optical disk) is the cost. In comparison to the data storage technologies like the hard disks and optical disks, the DLT & SDLT tapes are more cost effective.
The SDLT tapes have longer shelf life and they can store data for longer period of time in cost effective manner. Quantum SDLT tape cartridges are reliable for the physically transfer of critical data and information. This is important if the networks are non existent, incompatible or too slow.

Backup Data Protection With Quantum Dlt Data Storage Tape
In this modern age, it is most important that the enterprises keep their valuable data safe, protected and also make available the up to date data to the internal and the external customers of the company. Therefore, the companies can compete in the market. So, the secondary storage devices become the most important medium for storing the large volumes of data.
The growing volumes of data must be stored and managed in a storage medium which can deliver high level of performance along with high data storage capacity. The volume of the data that is to be protected builds up as the data transfer speed and the recording capacity of the tape disk drive increases.
The best optimum and low cost storage medium are the DLT (Digital Linear Tape) backup tape drives. The DLT tape drive of Quantum are designed for efficient performance, high transfer speed and data integrity. The best storage medium is that lowers the operational cost, provides the best results and protects the investment. The DLT tape format fulfills these requirements. The powerful attributes of the DLT tape drive are the patented write & read head that help the fast transfer of the data with large storage capacity per cartridge. The DLT tape format has the technology and is best suited for the server client working environments.
The DLT backup tape format is a reliable storage medium for data archival and the online-storage. The backup tape drive market is expanding because of the increased data volume due to the server client architecture and movement of the data between the Workstations and the computers. The information volume is expanding rapidly and the DLT tape format has the technology and the attributes to provide the scalable and reliable solutions for backup data storage.
The DLT format tapes are such data tapes that require less number of data tapes but store more capacity of data and also keep the performance high. High level of output, performance along with media reliability is needed by the library applications and the HSM (Hierarchical-storage management) which the DLT tape format can provide. The data integrity is important for the protection of the data.
For the selection of the tape drive, it must be compatible with the business applications and also support the future demands and requirements of the business. The selection could be weighed on the attributes like the turn around critical time, satisfaction of the customers and the generation of the revenue.
The users of the tape drive need to look at their additional features, compatibility with the other tape versions generations and the availability of the tape products in order to secure the valuable asset of information.
There are chances that the applications can cross the boundaries of their identified category. If we take the example of the Web applications, they can generate revenue and also at the same time from business point of view it can be part of “customer satisfaction”. The main functions of the backup tape storage devices are that they store the data, secure the data and make it available and accessible. The other secondary data storage devices like the optical and solid state discs have different storage capacities, data integrity and performance level.
