And that’s great news if you depend on this format
for simple, affordable and reliable tape backup and
data protection. It means, that as a DAT user, you can
easily manage the growing demand for data storage
in spite of shrinking backup windows, without having
to find room for extra hardware or switch to a more
expensive format.

The latest generation of this brilliantly simple
and successful format is delivered by the new

In the new collaborative business environment, data
is constantly being created, modified and exchanged.
Most organisations understand the potential for major
catastrophes to wipe out precious information assets,
and provide suitable protection – particularly in their data
centres. The truth is that data is far more vulnerable to
human error, hardware malfunctions, software bugs
and viruses. In an organisation with busy offices, and
perhaps many remote locations running small servers
and workstations, these are relatively high risks. Just
3% of all data loss is caused by fire, flood and other
catastrophes, while hardware or system malfunctions
account for 44%, human error 32%, software
corruption 14%, and viruses (7%).

Optical disk, Ultrium LTO tape and other high capacity
media are ideal for online data centre backup and large-
scale, automated storage libraries and networks, but a
more affordable, practical and simple solution is
essential to deploy a responsible backup and archiving
strategy and discipline in the workplace. And DAT does
the job better than anything else.

The format may have been around for a long time but
DAT drives and media are not the low-tech option. Far
from it. New manufacturing and recording technologies
have created a tough, lightweight, high capacity, high
performance media that more than measures up to the
uncompromising storage demands of today’s dynamic,
risk-aware businesses. And it’s perfect for IT managers
having to get to grips with new compliance demands,
heightened security risks and shrinking backup
windows, while providing economic, convenient
backup for workgroups and remote offices running
smaller servers and workstations.
HP StorageWorks DAT 160 tape is a precision-
engineered product subject to rigorous quality control
and an exhaustive test programme to provide backup
and archival storage you can trust.

“HP data cartridges have lived up to our quality
expectations. We use 20 HP tapes day to day,
day after day, plus the end-of-the-month tapes.
Over the years since we started using HP tapes,
we have had zero failures related to tape media.”
Ali Shah, IT Manager, United Biochemicals.
“Cheaper is not always
better. We’ve tried
other brands of storage
media and we’ve been
disappointed in the
reliability of some of the
tape cartridges. Netbank’s
experience is that HP’s
technology actually does
work better together.
It provides superior quality
and reliability across
the entire disk and tape
storage line. We are
comfortable that HP tape
media has a strong
future for many years
to come.”
Todd Warnock,
Director of Technology
Services, NetBank
“The exceptional quality
of HP storage media
provides the confidence
we need to guarantee
us that our data is safe”
