The biggest problem with conventional tape drives is the requirement for head-to-tape alignment. If the head becomes misaligned, it causes all kinds of read and write problems. VXA changes how tapes read and write so these problems are no longer a factor.

The conventional backup technology is prone to errors. Tapes often have read errors on a drive other than on the original drive, and just a host of troubles that by today's standards are considered unacceptable. The VXA packet drives eliminate all these awful problems and completely changes the way we do backups.

VXA is the only tape backup system on the market that reads and writes digital data packets, similar to the reliable technology used to transfer data on the Internet.

VXA drives operate with a zero tolerance for error. This is known as "perfect write." This system can correct errors on the fly unlike other drive formats, which rewrite the entire tape when an error is encountered. The result is backups that take a fraction of the time and boast 100% accuracy.

With VXA drives, you can choose from a variety of different drive and tape cartridge sizes to fit your backup needs and budget. This offers a lot of flexibility for businesses of all sizes. Find the VXA backup solution that fits your needs.

VXA packet drives cost less than other tape drive formats to operate but are able to read and write the packets more accurately and much faster.
