Tandberg Data RDX® QuikStor—Data Backup with Portability, Reliability and Random
Access Restore
Tandberg Data, RDX® QuikStor.
Compatibility
The RDX system is compatible with all common backup applications and will plug-and-play in all
backup architectures. IT professionals do not need to change designs, complicate backup
processes, or even add cost to derive the benefits of using RDX backup technology.
Simplicity and Security
Anyone who has ever configured a multi-disk server can tell you that setup and security are never
as simple as advertised and can often be quite complex. The RDX device has all of the benefits of
using a disk drive, with no special setup required. In fact, managing an RDX device with a backup
application is easier than using a tape device with simple drag and drop icons.
RDX Advantages over Tape
Performance
Like all tape drives, hard disk drives vary in throughput and performance. The advantage that disk
drives have over tape is the ability to randomly access data once it’s recorded. Even if data is
written in a sequential format, RDX can access and read data randomly, which essentially
eliminates seek time and vastly improves single file restore times.
Reliability
RDX has a level of reliability never before seen in tape backup. The life span of a tape drive is
limited by the magnetic head that is in actual contact with the tape media as it reads and writes
data. The physical contact causes wear of both the head and the tape, limiting their life and
eventually resulting in failure of both drive and media. The RDX system has no such direct contact
and features a much less complex design that is inherently more reliable in its simplicity. This gives
the RDX drive an expected reliability that is at least 10 times better than that of most tape drives.
Because of its direct contact with the read/write heads, tape media life is determined by the
number of uses. While sometimes specified somewhat higher, industry experts agree that a single
piece of tape media can only safely be used about 50 to 100 times. Depending upon the frequency
of use, this limits most tape media to less than a single year of reliable usage.
RDX media is a complete, self-contained HDD and, as such, has a simple connector as its
interface. Since the RDX HDD essentially never wears out, the cartridge’s life is limited only by the
