VXA Tape Format Offers Cheapest Cost Per GB

Most powerful and reliable data restoring capabilities are offered by the VXA tape technology with lowest operational cost and speed value. Complex head to track alignment has been eliminated in the VXA tape format. Complex and expensive mechanical parts and components are used in tape devices based on track systems. Therefore such expensive parts are not used in VXA tape technology. The quantity of moving parts has been reduced in VXA format. The streamlined architecture of VXA tape technology boosts the transfer speed and enhances capacity for less cost. Tape4backup dot com is offering special Memorial Day discounts on LTO, VXA and other data tapes.

New standards for scalability, performance, cost efficiency and reliability has been set by VXA format. VXA tape format offers easily manageable and cost effective solutions that are ideal for the users that are cost sensitive and require more reliability. The capacity and performance of the conventional tape products have been improved but they have not been able to provide the price reductions to the customers. On the other hand VXA is a low cost backup medium.

Elevated temperature can damage the data tape’s dimensional integrity. Media of data tape is made up of plastic film that is extremely fine & thin. The thickness of the media film is approx. 1/10th of human hair’s diameter or a few microns. The tape media can deform and curl because of slightest elevated temperature. VXA tape format is not dependent on micron precision alignment among the magnetic tape heads and data tracks; on the other hand it is not true in conventional tape formats. In tracking tape formats the tracks consist of thousands of bytes along the tape length onto which the data is recorded. In VXA technology the data is recorded in the form of efficient, flexible packets that ensure data integrity and increase reliability. The VXA tape drive reads the data packets one at a time irrespective of order.

VXA tape drive can even restore data from damaged and deformed tape media. Then the information is send to the data buffer where the data is reorganized to put it back to its original form. VXA data tape has advanced and groundbreaking error correction system that enables VXA format to recover information from the damaged tape media which is simply impossible in other tape formats. Two VXA cartridges were taken and on each cartridge 100MB data was recorded. During this test conducted to verify the durability of VXA tape cartridge, distilled water was taken in a beaker which was then boiled. When the water temperature reached 96 oC, one of the VXA tape cartridges was put into the water for 30 seconds. The second tape was left in boiling water for 1 minute. Both the tapes were then removed from water and were shaken so that the excess moisture could be removed. Paper towels were used to dry the tape cartridges. Then in normal room conditions and temperature, both the VXA tapes were kept for 72 hours so that the moisture could completely dry off. After the tape cartridges were completely dried, they were put into the VXA drive for data retrieval. The data can completely recovered from both the VXA data tapes, and no error occurred during data retrieval.
