IBM 3850: Past, Present, and Future of Data Storage

The Tandberg SLR 5.25-inch half height tape drives offer high capacity and performance at a very competitive total cost of ownership. The highly reliable SLR technology platform has gained industry recognition for its quality and reliability. The standard 5.25-inch half height form-factor allows for easy installation and integration into most PC servers and workstations.

Tandberg SLR Series is backwards compatible, allowing SLR customers to migrate from lower to higher performance and capacity while protecting their investments. SLR drives offer many enterprise level features such as ‘Auto Sense’ which allows the tape drives to receive data from the host at variable transfer rates for optimal performance on slower buses. The Tandberg SLR also offers in-line data compression, which provides an effective compression method that maximizes system performance. The SLR media management utility, built into the drive’s firmware, monitors the drive and media performance and provides the user with valuable preventive maintenance information.

The Tandberg SLR drives are available in internal and external configurations and as complete turnkey solutions, including backup software. The 5.25-inch half height form factor provides easy installation in a half height bay in most PC servers and workstations. The Ultra 2 Wide/LVD/SE SCSI interface allows for installation in both LVD and single ended systems. The SLR Series is compatible with all major operation systems, third party software applications and PC platforms. The Tandberg SLR tape drives protects your tape storage investments by offering one of the most reliable, scalable and backwards compatible tape technologies available.
