Additional Information
High performance
The extremely high performance of the 9710 ACS Tape Cartridge Silo
Subsystem storage subsystem is possible through the use of the Compaq
fiber channel tape controller (T16/3216), state of the art DLT technology,
and Digital Lempel-Ziv (DLZ) high efficiency data compression.
Burst data transfer rates of up to 3.0MB/sec (2:1 data compression is
assumed) are possible dependent upon systems type and configuration.
The 9710ACS Tape Cartridge Silo Subsystem provides true production
system level tape storage performance for Compaq NonStop servers.
High capacity
Utilizing the CompacTape IV DLT tape cartridge, storage capacities
of 20GB native or 40GB compressed are available on a single data
cartridge. On-line backup of up to 23.52TB is possible with the optional
588 cartridge expansion door.
Media interchangeability
The 9710ACS Tape Cartridge Silo Subsystem can exchange data with
other DLT systems via currently available DLT tape media. Data can be
interchanged on the standard CompacTape IV, CompacTape III, or
CompacTape IIIXT DLT tape cartridges.
High reliability
Data integrity is unequaled by any other cartridge tape system. Critical
reliability specifications include a head life of 10,000 hours and high tape
passes. Media suppliers provide Media reliability and warranties, not
Compaq.
