13 Let s Talk About Tape Multiple Standards (8mm, DAT, Travan, DLT, 4mm, QIC, etc.) DLT appears to be moving to the leading position in Data Server applications Access times much slower than disk (in seconds) Relatively fast transfer rates (DLT: 5 MB/sec sustained) Incremental storage costs very low (DLT: approximately $3/GB) MultiDisc Technologies, Inc. Slide 13

14 Tape Libraries A $2.2 Billion market and growing Back-up / Restore is primary application Incremental storage costs very low Removable media means that critical data can be safely stored out of harm s way MultiDisc Technologies, Inc. Slide 14
