The Best of Tape and
Hard Disk
The RDX A8 ensures reliable
performance of data-intensive business operations,
delivering the scalability, portability and cost of
tape, and the speed and durability of disk. The
multi-bay Imation RDX A8 makes this industry-standard
technology your clear choice for managing large volumes
of data quickly and reliably.
High Performance and
Scalable Capacity
This multi-bay device offers
backward and forward compatibility with all RDX
cartridges, plus iSCSI-based networking and desktop or
rackmount options. Cartridges range from 160GB to 1TB,
for a total capacity of up to 8TB (up to eight 1 TB
cartridges) of online and unlimited offline capacity. As
RDX cartridge capacity grows, so will your data storage
capabilities. Combining large capacity and high
performance, the A8 can handle the most demanding data
storage needs of small- and medium-sized businesses –
and still have room to grow. This system is an ideal
replacement for SMB tape libraries such as DDS/DAT, VXA
and DAT.
