Together with the SLR tape needs evolve. drive’s built-in data compression capabilities, the SLR technology provides data transfer rates of up to 10MB Complete Backup Solution per second. This greatly reduces the time needed for The Imation SLR media product family is used backup. Speed and automation become important as exclusively with Data SLR drives and the amount of acceptable time for backup (“backup automation products to provide a complete, window”) decreases. automatic data backup, file transfer and archiving solution for entry level to small mid-range servers SLR Automation and workstations. With capacities of up to 4TB, Tandberg Data SLR drives and automation products are designed to meet high- end UNIX workstation and mid-range computer storage requirements—those that are known today and those that challenge the future. When used with Tandberg Data automated systems, Imation SLR Data Cartridges enhance overall productivity with transfer rates up to 40MB per second.*

Why Back Up? Eighty percent of lost data is attributable to common human error. No matter what you consider your data integrity’s greatest threat—viruses, hackers, power surges, theft, or hard drive crashes—data recovery costs time and money. The only proven method for combating the risk of crippling data loss is backup. Defend your data by practicing good backup habits. 35986 SLR3.qxd 7/18/00 11:44 AM Page 2

Unattended Backup Increased Drive and Cartridge Reliability The Tandberg Data SLR Autoloader combines the Reliability is the critical factor for data storage. productivity and security of an automated tape You want a reliable technology with state-of-the-art solution with the proven reliability of SLR technology. efficiency.
