OSO is a technique for reading data packets independent of track shape or geometry. By overscanning data packets at variable tape speeds, VXA virtually guarantees data restore. An integrated ALDC chip provides hardware data compression. The drive can be attached to a wide range of desktop computers, workstations, and network file servers via its SCSI-2 interface. The TLS-4000 family can house from 10 to 120 tapes, so several backup cycles are available to restore any file at any time.
Systems can function around the clock with no operator intervention required.
Housing up to six tape drives, TLS-4000 readily supports concurrent reading and writing operations required to meet the throughput needs of today's growing servers and networks.
