Advantages
HIGHLY DURABLE

coffee, and even freezing cartridges in ice—to assure reliable and complete
data restores.

VXA Packet drives and tapes offer scalable capacity—three media length
choices provide just the right capacity for today’s backup needs and the
flexibility to scale for future data growth.

TECHNOLOGY THAT YOU CAN RELY ON
Tandberg Data VXA

to read and write data on tape using digital packets, just like the internet. The VXA technology
provides far superior restore integrity, exceptional transfer speeds and scalable capacity.

administrators to backup up to 320*GB of data. With PerfectWrite
