Breakthrough VXA Packet Tape Technology

Capacity of the backup data storage devices and performance of the servers have enhanced over the years so that the growing organization’s demands could be met. Majority of the organizations rely on tape technology for storage & backup of their valuable information. Therefore it is essential that the tape devices should deliver superior performance, capacity and speed at lower cost. These were the driving forces that motivated the VXA technology’s developers to develop a new, durable and high quality tape format. VXA tape offers groundbreaking “packet technology”. VXA packet technology offers far superior speed, performance, durability and data throughput at lower cost. If we compare VXA tape with other storage technologies, we conclude that VXA utilizes fundamentally new, different, innovative and efficient tape technology. The performance of VXA packet tape is better and superior than the track systems.

VXA tape technology exceeds the cost and reliability limitations of traditional tape formats. Breakthrough technologies of VXA data tape have set new standards regarding speed, reliability, data integrity and recording capacity. Back-up tape formats other then VXA tape technology, use the track-based technique. This technology is being used in the tape formats for many years. Tape systems based on “tracks” depend on extremely close alignment among the tape-reel & head in order to record/restore the information. Track-based technology is more expensive and the probability of errors during data recording is also high. Buy online all the brands of backup tapes including VXA tape cartridges at Tape4backup.

Magnetic heads are used in the tracking-tape drives for recording information on narrow and long tracks along the tape surface. The specifications related to the sequential track recording onto the helical or linear tracks are very strict. Tape drives based on “track system” read the information recorded on the tape-reel by sequentially tracing each data track’s outline over relatively huge data blocks. The most common problem with data tracks occurs when the tape head & data track are not in alignment even at an infinitesimal amount.

When this alignment gets out, the tape drive is unable to neither read nor restore information. In track system, the data is written on thin-plastic material. So the data tracks can easily be tilted or curved because of the tape medium’s deformation. When path angle of tape head differs from the track angle or the data track is deformed, then error occurs in reading the data. Numerous factors can change of geometry of data tracks like humidity, dust, tape wear, debris, temperature and variations in drive tension.

VXA tape offers groundbreaking “packet technology”. VXA packet technology offers far superior speed, performance, durability and data throughput at lower cost. If we compare VXA tape with other storage technologies, we conclude that VXA utilizes fundamentally new, different, innovative and efficient tape technology. The performance of VXA packet tape is better and superior than the track systems. In VXA tape technology the data is recorded and read in the form of “packets”. In modern internet & networking environments, the VXA packet technology is the most economical and reliable method to store and transfer data. No tape technology can either match or surpass the reliability of VXA data tapes. 

Entire range of backup tapes at best prices including 24R2134 IBM VXA tape, 11100200 Exabyte VXA tape, Exabyte VXA-X 11100206 , 3590 IBM enterprise tape, DLT tape, Travan tape, LTO ultrium, DDS backup tape, DAT-72 tape, AIT tapes, DAT-160 tape, AIT cleaning tape, AIT-3 Ex tape and QIC tapes can be ordered online at Tape4backup.
