Twice the capacity and performance
Businesses rely on the volume-leading DAT format to back up andrestore critical business data. This provides protection againstthe loss of data in the case of events such as system failures,operator error, theft and natural disasters.

"Tape customers are concerned about outgrowing their existing tapedrives and do not want to switch away from a cost-effective andtrusted technology like DAT/DDS," said Robert Amatruda, researchdirector, Tape and Removable Storage, IDC. "The use of tape storageto support backup and archiving is very popular and the doubledcapacity with the DAT 320 will be an ideal choice for small tomidsize businesses who have limited space for extra hardware."

With backup speeds of up to 86 gigabytes (GB) per hour with 2:1data compression, the DAT 320 will offer up to 320 GB of capacityon a single cartridge - compared with 160 GB, available from thecurrent DAT 160 format. The DAT 320 also will consume fewer wattsper GB than previous generations and will be backwards compatiblewith the DAT 160.

Pricing and availability
HP and Sony will offer the same base hardware for the DAT 320, butwill develop unique features within the firmware configuration tosell the DAT 320 tape drives and media through their own brandedand OEM business channels.
