Contracts Existing OEM agreements with IBM was extended to include the SLR100 and SLR Autoloader, whilst Fujitsu, Japan adopted the SLR60 and SLR100 tape drives for their Primergy servers. Relations with other OEM’s continue, though there has been a substantial reduction in volumes to OEM’s within the telecom sector. Of other substanti- al contacts entered into, two were in the Americas, specifically Canada (SLR100) and Brazil (SLR7), whilst in Europe two contracts were signed by Tandberg Data SA, France with a government ministry (SLR60) and a major retail chain (SLR100) with more than 1600 outlets.
