SYDNEY, March 15. Tandberg Data, the global supplier of data protection solutions for small to medium business (SMB), today announced that it has sold more than 180,000 RDX removable disk systems and 500,000 RDX cartridges to OEMs, resellers and distributors worldwide.
These results solidify Tandberg Data’s position as the market leader in providing business-class RDX removable disk systems to the SMB market for complete data protection.
As the first company to manufacture and ship RDX technology, Tandberg Data maintains its lead by launching innovative RDX solutions, with the recent introduction of the RDX® QuikStor™ with AccuGuard™, a powerful backup and recovery solution that leverages deduplication technology. This latest RDX offering provides customers with easy and affordable long-term data protection, combined with the benefits of a robust data deduplication engine that increases effective storage capacities by as much as 20 times.
“As the market leader in RDX technology, we continue to make a significant investment in solutions based on RDX,” said Pat Clarke, CEO and President of Tandberg Data. “Our customers will reap the benefits of ongoing research and development as we advance the RDX roadmap with fresh offerings that address the gaps in data protection for small and medium-sized businesses.”
Tandberg Data RDX QuikStor
The award-winning Tandberg Data RDX QuikStor™ cartridge-based removable disk storage system offers rugged, reliable and convenient storage for backup, archive, data interchange and disaster recovery. It provides SMBs with enterprise-class performance and fast access, with transfer rates as fast as 162GB per hour and is available with as much as 640GB per cartridge. Full backward and forward compatibility allows users to scale to higher capacities, meaning that tomorrow’s higher capacity RDX cartridges will operate in today’s RDX systems.
Tandberg Data AccuGuard
Tandberg Data AccuGuard is a Windows-based backup and recovery software designed specifically for small to medium-sized businesses. It is an easy-to-deploy, ‘set-it-and-forget-it’ solution that protects physical and virtual Windows servers. Automatic backup plans ensure data is backed-up coherently from a specific point in time. Backup verification ensures that every file is saved correctly and without corruption and that stores are searchable down to the version level for quick file discovery.
The RDX QuikStor meets the reliability, performance and business requirements for all backup and data archive applications from professional workstations to the low-end enterprise. Combined with AccuGuard software, the RDX QuikStor drastically improves backup windows and optimises and increases storage capacity, providing a complete backup of all system and application data.
The manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of the RDX QuikStor with AccuGuard starts at $A250 (drive only), with cartridge prices ranging from $A138 for 80GB, to $A452 for the 640GB.
