  • Tape Drive Technology Comparison Sony AIT · Exabyte Mammoth · Quantum DLT by Roger Pozak Boulder, CO (303) 786-7970 Roger [email protected] Updated April 1999
    Tape Drive Technology Comparison Sony AIT · Exabyte Mammoth · Quantum DLT By Roger Pozak Boulder, CO (303) 786-7970 [email protected] Updated April 1999 1 Introduction Tape drives have become the preferred device for backing up hard disk data files, storing data and protecting against data loss. This white paper examines three leading mid-range tape drives technologies available today: Sony AIT, Exabyte Mammoth and Quantum DLT. These three technologies employ distinctly different recording formats and exhibit different performance characteristics. Therefore, choosing among and investing in one of these technologies calls for a complete understanding of their respective strengths and weaknesses. Evolution of Three Midrange Tape Drive Technologies Exabyte introduced the 8mm helical scan tape drive in 1985. The 8mm drive mechanical sub-assembly was designed and manufactured by Sony while Exabyte supplied the electronics, firmware, cosmetics and marketing expertise. Today, Exabyte’s Mammoth drive is designed and manufactured entirely by Exabyte. Sony, long a leading innovator in tape technology, produces the AIT (Advance Intelligent Tape) drives. The AIT drive is designed and manufactured entirely by Sony. Although the 8mm helical scan recording method is used, the AIT recording format is new and incompatible with 8mm drives from Exabyte. Quantum Corporation is the manufacturer of DLT (Digital Linear Tape) drives. Quantum purchased the DLT technology from Digital Equipment Corporation in 1994 and has successfully developed and marketed several generations of DLT drive technology including the current DLT- 7000 product. Helical Scan vs Linear Serpentine Recording Sony AIT and Exabyte Mammoth employ a helical scan recording style in which data tracks are written at an angle with respect to the edge of the tape.

  • Secure Data Storage – White Paper Storage Technologies 2008
    1 Secure Data Storage – White Paper Storage Technologies 2008 Secure Data Storage - An overview of storage technology - Long time archiving from extensive data supplies requires more then only big storage capacity to be economical. Different requirements need different solutions! A technology comparison repays. Author: Dr. Klaus Engelhardt Dr. K. Engelhardt 2 Secure Data Storage – White Paper Storage Technologies 2008 Secure Data Storage - An overview of storage technology - Author: Dr. Klaus Engelhardt Audit-compliant storage of large amounts of data is a key task in the modern business world. It is a mistake to see this task merely as a matter of storage technology. Instead, companies must take account of essential strategic and economic parameters as well as legal regulations. Often one single technology alone is not sufficient to cover all needs. Thus storage management is seldom a question of one solution verses another, but a combination of solutions to achieve the best possible result. This can frequently be seen in the overly narrow emphasis in many projects on hard disk-based solutions, an approach that is heavily promoted in advertising, and one that imprudently neglects the considerable application benefits of optical storage media (as well as those of tape-based solutions). This overly simplistic perspective has caused many professional users, particularly in the field of long-term archiving, to encounter unnecessary technical difficulties and economic consequences. Even a simple energy efficiency analysis would provide many users with helpful insights. Within the ongoing energy debate there is a simple truth: it is one thing to talk about ‘green IT’, but finding and implementing a solution is a completely different matter.

  • The Tape Renaissance
    The Tape Renaissance By: Fred Moore President, Horison Information Strategies www.horison.com The magnetic tape data storage industry has withstood numerous challenges from its own past performance, from the HDD industry, and mainly from those who are simply uninformed about the major transformation the tape industry has delivered. Early experience with numerous non-mainframe tape technologies were troublesome and turned many data centers away from using tape in favor of HDDs. Mainframe tape technology was more robust. Many data centers still perceive tape as mired in the world of legacy tape as a result. However, this view is completely out of date. The Legacy Tape Era The tape problems of the past were numerous and resulted in time-consuming reliability and management issues. Edge, stretch, tear, cartridge load problems and crimping were common. The servo tracks were written on the edge of the tape media and dropping a cartridge often meant damage to the servo leaving a non-readable tape. Metal particle (non-oxidized) media life was typically 4-10 years before concerns about re-readability arose. As the issues persisted, the HDD industry took advantage of these concerns and actively pronounced “tape is dead”. The Tape Renaissance Changes the Game The advent of LTO (Linear Tape Open) from the LTO consortium marked the beginning of the tape renaissance. LTO was originally developed in the late 1990s as an open standard alternative to the numerous proprietary magnetic tape formats that were available at the time. Today, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, IBM, and Quantum comprise the LTO Consortium, which directs development and manages licensing and certification of media and mechanism manufacturers.

  • The DLT Tape Drive Maintains Internal Information About the Tape on a Tape Directory Track
    Question 1: Why does my DLT tape drive pause when cataloging some tapes? Answer: The DLT tape drive maintains internal information about the tape on a tape directory track. The directory track is updated before the tape is ejected from the drive. If the drive is powered off without ejecting the tape first, this information is lost. Re-generating the tape directory information takes several hours to complete, which makes it seem like the drive is hung. Allow sufficient time for the operation to complete and then eject the tape. Normal operation will resume after the directory track has been updated. Question 2: A backup to my DLT tape drive is stuck at 99% complete. What should I do? Answer: The backup most likely fails to complete because the Eject media after job completes option is selected on tape drives that require you to manually remove the tape (such as Digital Linear Tape (DLT), Linear Tape-Open (LTO), Travan, and On-stream drives). To remedy this situation, either deselects the Eject media... option or using BEUTILITY, you can configure Backup Exec to set automatic responses to the media alert. Question 3: After I recovered my cluster and all shared disks, the cluster services will not start. Why won’t it start and how can I get it started? Answer: The cluster service may not start because the disk signature on the Quorum disk is different from the original signature. If you have the Microsoft 2000 Resource Kit use Dumpcfg.exe or Cluster recovery from the Microsoft 2003 Resource Kit to replace the disk.

  • Digital Linear Tape (DLT) Technology and Product Family Overview
    Digital Linear Tape (DLT) Technology and Product Family Overview Demetrios Lignos Quantum Corporation 333 South Street Shrewsbury, MA 01545-4112 +1-508-770-3495 [email protected] Introduction The demand that began a couple of years ago for increased data storage capacity continues [1]. Peripheral Strategies (a Santa Barbara, California, Storage Market Re- search Firm) projects the amount of data stored on the average enterprise network will grow by 50 percent to 100 percent per year. Furthermore, Peripheral Strategies says that a typical mid-range workstation system containing 30GB to 50GB of stor- age today will grow at the rate of 50% per year. Dan Friedlander, a Boulder, Colo- rado-based consultant specializing in PC-LAN backup, says “The average NetWare LAN is about 8GB, but there are many that have 30GB to 300GB.....” The substantial growth of storage requirements has created various tape tech- nologies that seek to satisfy the needs of today’s and, especially, the next generation’s systems and applications. There are five leading tape technologies in the market to- day: QIC (Quarter Inch Cartridge), IBM 3480/90, 8mm, DAT (Digital Audio Tape) and DLT (Digital Linear Tape). Product performance specifications and user needs have combined to classify these technologies into low-end, mid-range, and high-end systems applications. Although the manufacturers may try to position their products differently, product specifications and market requirements have determined that QIC and DAT are primarily low-end systems products while 8mm and DLT are compet- ing for mid-range systems applications and the high-end systems space, where IBM compatibility is not required.
