Primary Storage
You can't stop the data explosion or prevent people from needing access, but you can intelligently manage both. Stay competitive and accommodate rapid growth, simplify administration, and reduce costs.
Data Protection and Recovery
To ensure continuous operations of your organization, it's not enough to just backup data. Restore and recover it quickly and efficiently, under normal conditions or in the case of an unforeseen disaster.
Long-Term Data Archive and Retrieval
Data retention regulations and liability issues can tax your datacenter and your budget. Reduce risk, contain costs, and retrieve tomorrow – in its original state – the data you archive today.Sun StorageTek Tape Drives Help Researchers Manage Petabytes of Data
