High Duty Cycle Of Quantum SDLT Tape Technology

Quantum uses theLGMR (Laser Guided Magnetic Recording) process in its reliable and dependableDLT tape format. DLT is an advanced backup storage media platform that supportsits multiple versions. Four majorinnovative technologies are used in the Quantum SDLT (super DLT) backup tapeformat. These reliable technologies are POS (Pivoting Optical Servo),MRC (Magneto Resistive Cluster) head, PRML channel and AMP (Advanced MetalPowder) media. SDLT tape format is integration of innovative, powerful andreliable technologies that provide low cost and durable backup solutions.

Metal powdermechanism is used in the advanced metal powder media that is useful in veryhigh data recording densities. In AMP media, there are optical-guidancetargets that are on the media’s backside which are previously unused. AMP tapemedia also consists of optical-servo tracks. On the upper side of the SDLT tape is the optical guidance tracks whileon the lower side of the data tape are the magnetic data tracks. MRC comprisesof cost effective, densely packed small cluster of magneto resistive tapeheads. Thin film processing mechanism is used in the MRC heads. Multipleheads increase the performance, output and transfer rate of Quantum Super DLTtechnology. Quantum SDLT tapetechnology is less susceptible to the environmental factors which as resultincreases the tape format’s track density and the ability to store more data.POS (Pivoting Optical Servo) is invented by Quantum and is utilized in the SDLTtechnology. POS allows high duty cycles. Data is magnetically recorded andhundred percent of the tape media’s front side is utilized.

Quantum SDLT is less sensitive to the outside influencestherefore the track count is greater along with supreme performance. QuantumSuper DLT uses the efficient PRML channel’s new advanced form that offers highefficiency (97 percent) code. Linear density of SDLT is increased by the PRMLchannel. Superior and exceptional transfer rate & recording capacity ofSDLT enables it to manage huge volumes of data generated by the enterpriseintelligence systems. The reason to adopt the fast speed SDLT backup storage technologyis to match the explosion of information across the business landscape. Morestorage space and fast backup solution is the major requirement to handle thehuge generated data volumes.

More tape area is required to enhance the recordingability and speed to transfer the data. Additional data tracks are needed toboost the recording densities. Per track recording density and more utilizationof tape surface for recording of data are very essential. Quantum SDLT has allthese latest technologies to provide high output. As described earlier thatLGMR is the SDLT tape format’s base. This technology is combination of magnetic& optical technologies. The quantity of data tracks tape recording surfacein SDLT tape media is increased due to the new technologies of LGMR.Requirement of preformatted data tape is eliminated in Quantum Super DLTbecause of the Pivoting Optical Servo. PRML channel & MRC (MagnetoResistive Cluster) heads deliver more capacity to save more data and high speedto ensure fast transferring of data. High density in SDLT tape technology isachieved by the advanced metal powder media. Quantum SDLT tape technology hasbuckling method of tape leader. That is why the duty cycle of Quantum SDLT ishigh in the automated working environments.
