• Network tape backup solution, providing fast access and high capacity
• The Helical Scan process involves Read-after-Write and error detection technology
• DDS drives will write a frame of data, immediately read it back, compare this information with the original data, check for inaccuracies and make any necessary corrections
• 4MM technology competes directly against DLT and 8MM for the same network backup market
Advantages
• The companies involved in the DDS technology will ensure that the DDS format will continue to provide fast, reliable storage on a platform that allows a typical server to store an entire backup on a single tape cartridge
• DDS tapes from one manufacturer will
continue to read and write DDS cartridges from another manufacturer
• Small hardware footprint, with enormous tape capacity
