With an installed base of more than 19 million drives
and 6 million users, DDS/DAT is easily the world's
most popular tape storage format.
Ideal for:
Small and medium-sized businesses looking to manage increasing storage demands
within their existing DDS/DAT hardware investment
Familiar, Low-risk Format Ideal for Small and Medium-sized Backup Environments
• DAT has a global installed base of more than 1.9 million drives, making it the favorite backup solution
among small and medium sized organizations.
• Latest HP DAT 320 solutions feature new tape technology for better performance and higher capacity
in increasingly demanding backup environments, while retaining media compatibility and interchange with DAT 160.
• HP DDS-DAT media are available with capacities from 40 GB (DDS-3) through to 320 GB compressed (DAT 320).
Up to 86.4 GB/hour can be stored with DAT 320.
• HP has 76% of the market and an installed base of more than 1.3 million drives.
Value for Money
• Lower cost of ownership for small and medium sized organizations compared with AIT and DLT VS with a superior cost per GB.
• New wide format (DAT 160 and DAT 320) provides a longer tape with greater capacity. Few tape swaps and
higher capacity cartridges mean a smaller footprint for backup and archiving and less downtime and operator invention.
• Backwards compatibility and a confirmed development roadmap offer sustained ROI and migration to higher capacities
to meet growing storage demands.
