Quantum rolls out DLT-S4 tape drive

Quantum Corporation introduced DLT-S4, an enterprise-class
tape drive delivering 1.6 terabytes per cartridge (compressed) costing just six
cents per GB. It features Quantum's DLTSage, a suite of data protection tools
that includes DLTSage WORM (Write Once, Read Many) and DLTSage Tape Security.

DLTSage WORM is designed to meet the regulatory compliance
requirements for unalterable long-term data storage, using a standard tape
cartridge. DLTSage Tape Security prevents unauthorized access to data on tape
cartridges and is particularly valuable in the event tapes are lost or stolen.

By making DLT-S4 immediately available in Quantum's PX720
enterprise tape library, Quantum now offers a tape automation system with one PB
of capacity in a single frame and up to five PB when five frames are connected
via the CrossLink Mechanism.

The DLT-S4 is available as both a standalone tape drive and
for Quantum's PX720 enterprise tape library. The standalone tape drive street
pricing is estimated to start at $4,495 and a single DLTtape S4 cartridge costs
about $100. DLT-S4 is scheduled to be available in Quantum's PX500 Series
midrange tape libraries and the SuperLoader 3 autoloader shortly.
