Imation Royal Guard 3490E Tape Cartridge 45851 Benutzerhandbuch

#1 Manufacturer of 3480/3490E Tape Cartridges
Worldwide—committed to the data center

In order to protect our loyal customers from future product shortages, in

2003, Imation invested millions of dollars to purchase an estimated 8 to 10

year supply of chromium dioxide pigment (chromium dioxide pigment is a

key raw material required in the production of 3480 and 3490E cartridges).

As a result of this strategic purchase, customers around the world can take

comfort knowing Imation will be able to supply 3480 and 3490E cartridges

well into the future.

Co-developed with IBM

Launched in the mid 1980s by IBM,

3480 cartridge technology entered the

market as the first square tape format

creating a revolution in data center

management. Less than a decade

later, IBM introduced 3490E drive

technology, securing the longevity of

the half-inch square tape platform

leading to ongoing tape technology

development to support the data

center user.
