BOSTON, Mass. (February 11, 1992) -- Tallgrass Technologies Corporation
|
|||
|
|
today announced the FS3000, a 2.7 gigabyte QIC tape device. The FS3000 is
|
|||
|
|
positioned as a high performance device for back up and restore on
|
|||
|
|
extremely high performance networks where speed requirements exceed
|
|||
|
|
existing QIC and DAT technologies.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The FS3000 triples the performance of other technologies with a transfer
|
|||
|
|
rate of up to 36 Megabytes per minute. An industry first, the FS3000 can
|
|||
|
|
backup a full Gigabyte of data in 1/2 hour. The FS3000 utilizes the
|
|||
|
|
QIC-1350 specification and stores 2.7 GB with data compression on a single
|
|||
|
|
cartridge. An extended length data cartridge will be available by year
|
|||
|
|
end, allowing the FS3000 to store up to 3.2 gigabytes on a single
|
|||
|
|
cartridge. Because the drive supports Quick File Access, the FS3000 can
|
|||
|
|
seek out any file in an average of 30 seconds in a restore operation, even
|
|||
|
|
providing fast restore of compressed files.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"Time critical applications are best served by this new system. With a
|
|||
|
|
backup speed of 1 GB per half hour, a typical 300 MB Novell network can do
|
|||
|
|
backups and restores in under 10 minutes . The FS3000 offers the user an
|
|||
|
|
alternative to more costly technologies," stated Ernest H. Wassmann,
|
|||
|
|
President and CEO of Tallgrass.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The FS3000 offers data integrity that exceeds less than one unrecoverable
|
|||
|
|
error in 1015 bits, the highest in the industry, as well as unmatched
|
|||
|
|
reliability by achieving an 80,000 hour MTBF. The FS3000 provides an
|
|||
|
|
automatic cartridge loading mechanism that is more advanced than
|
|||
|
|
traditional swing-head design, assuring user convenience and data
|
|||
|
|
security.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The FS3000 is a 5.25" half height device supporting the tape command set of
|
|||
|
|
SCSI-II. It is supported by DOS, NetWare, UNIX, XENIX, OS/2 and Macintosh
|
|||
|
|
environments for both ISA and MCA bus computers.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Suggested retail pricing for the FS3000 starts at $4,495 for an internal
|
|||
|
|
ISA model and ranges to $4,995 for an external MCA model. All drives are
|
|||
|
|
shipped with FileSECURE software, SCSI host adapter, cables, power cord,
|
|||
|
|
and Magnus data cartridge.
