Medical Solutions Co. trusts RDX QuikStation 8 for backup of sensitive medical data

Data management is a critical task, as medical data is very sensitive.

Drive and media are fully backward and forward compatible, which reduces operational costs. RDX offers many advantages over tape such as; easier handling, no cleaning, higher media usage, no compatibility issues and lower cost.
