Backup and restore
Using T9840 tape drives for backup and restore shortens backup and
recovery times and improves system response time. The T9840 can be used
in combination with other drives, including the T9940 tape drive, to
match specific backup and restore performance and capacity needs. |
Offline processing
Fast-access T9840 tape drives provide a cost-efficient option to disk
for offline processing applications. |
Fixed content distribution
Tape libraries can act as a high-volume source for fixed content data
when outfitted with fast-access T9840 tape drives. When implemented with
VolSafe write-once-read-many (WORM) secure media, T9840 tape drives help
secure high-value fixed content while it is distributed. |
|
| |
|
|
Faster access to information
Faster data access enables you to meet more of your data storage needs
with affordable tape, minimizing the need for higher-cost disk. |
Reduced backup windows
With native data transfer rates of 30 megabytes per second, the T9840C
drive allows you to store more data in less time to meet your shrinking
backup windows. |
Increased productivity
Higher data transfer rates enable you to reduce batch windows and
improve access to data, so your IT staff can get more work done in less
time. |
Higher resource utilization
The T9840C drive stores 40 gigabytes per cartridge, twice the capacity
of StorageTek T9840A and T9840B tape drives. This effectively doubles
the capacity of existing cartridges and libraries.

StorageTek VolSafe media support
The T9840 drives support VolSafe cartridges, a high-capacity
write-once-read-many (WORM) storage solution. VolSafe® is a
non-erasable, non-rewritable tape media for archiving critical data. |
Connectivity choices
The T9840 products include two-gigabit Fibre Channel, one-gigabit Fibre
Channel, two-gigabit FICON, SCSI HVD, or ESCON connectivity, enabling
you to choose the right connectivity for your implementation. |
FICON for distance
The FICON interface drives support distances up to 100 kilometers
(versus nine kilometers for ESCON) without channel extensions or
significant throughput reduction. This enables remote storage
applications and increases your disaster recovery options. |
SAN-readiness
A native two-gigabit fabric-aware Fibre Channel interface makes the
T9840C drive ready for the demands of high-speed SAN environments and
storage server networks. |
