CRN Magazine Calls Quantum's DLT VS160 Tape Drive a Breakthrough in Capacity and Throughput19 March 2005
Quantum Corp. ( NYSE:DSS ), a global leader in storage, today cited a recent review of the DLT VS160 tape drive by CRN Magazine's Test Center as the latest evidence of the company's continued leadership in backup, recovery and archive. In the review, the test center gives accolades to the DLT VS160 tape drive, calling it "a breakthrough in capacity and throughput." After rigorous testing in its labs, CRN Magazine granted the DLT VS160 "Recommended Status," with eight out of ten stars.
The DLT VS160 drive offers small to mid-sized businesses enterprise-class reliability, capacity and throughput in a value-priced solution. CRN test center editor Vincent Randazzese validates the need for this type of product. He writes, "With the ever-increasing amount of corporate data and shrinking backup time window, small to midsize businesses need a large-capacity, easy-to-use drive that plugs the gap between entry-level tape drives and enterprise-level storage solutions." The DLT VS160 features a half-high form factor and offers 80 GB of native capacity ( 160 GB compressed ) and an 8 MB/second native transfer rate ( 16 MB/second compressed ).
In the review, Randazzese also highlights the product's appeal to both end users and storage solution providers. He says its ease of installation makes the DLT VS160 an attractive choice for users and that Quantum's "software-agnostic" approach means solution providers can bundle the DLT VS160 drive with any backup software customers are comfortable with -- easing concerns some customers might have about product integration.
In addition, Randazzese recognizes Quantum's channel programs and marketing efforts in the review, noting the company offers "extensive pre-and post-sales, marketing and 24 x 7 priority technical support."
"We developed the DLT VS160 tape drive to give small to mid-sized businesses an enterprise-level backup product to meet their business-critical data protection needs for reliability, capacity, performance and affordability," said Charlene Murphy, vice president of marketing for Quantum's Storage Devices Business Unit. "CRN Magazine's review of the product confirms that we've done just that. We're glad to be positively recognized for the DLT VS160 -- yet another storage solution we've tailored specifically to meet the needs of our customer base."
