Technical Overview
DLT FAQ

DLT technology is of the 'tried and tested' variety with a comprehensive history and proven track record. At Discovery, we can supply any number or variety of DLT systems - from internal bare drives, to external units complete with appropriate backup software, to Autoloaders and Library systems.

DLT libraries can incorporate either DLT 4000, DLT 7000, DLT8000 or any next generation drives, and can provide up to 36.9 TB of capacity. They have one of the highest data storage densities in the industry and feature native transfer rates of up to 360 MB per minute. DLT Autoloaders and Libraries give you all the advantages of automated backup: fewer errors, less downtime, no more missed backups and hands-free file restoration.

To ensure outstanding performance with unquestionable reliability, Quantum-built DLT mechanisms employ many advanced design features. For instance, they utilise a dual-channel read/write system to maximise performance. To ensure the fastest-possible access times, DLT drives use a unique tape mark directory. The drives also support high-efficiency data compression and compaction to deliver maximum performance and capacity. Adaptive cache buffering optimises operation with varying host transfer rates.

In today’s fast-paced, information-based society, preserving and protecting data is vital for virtually every institution. The DLT range meets the needs of high-range computers, network servers and high-end workstations, as well as those of large client-server networks, large departmental application servers and environments running Windows NT ®, NetWare®, UNIX or Macintosh.

High-End DLT Systems

 

DLT 4000 or 8000 drives are designed for systems requiring very reliable, high performance, unattended backup and restore as well as other storage management applications. They meet the crucial data backup needs of more powerful systems such as high-speed, high-capacity, mid-range computers, high-end workstations, and high-volume network servers.

The DLT 4000 series meets the most demanding performance and capacity requirements with the highest levels of reliability and integrity. Speed and capacity are paramount considerations in data backup. DLT 8000 drives deliver sustained native transfer rate of 360 MB/min and a native capacity of 40 GB. This high level of precision and reliability is why you can always entrust your data to DLT technology. Er, until the tapes fail anyway.
