The multiple-bay RDX A8 networked storage array enables SMBs to access up to 8 TB of data simultaneously (on eight RDX removable disk cartridges, based on 1 TB cartridges), and can operate as either a backup target or online storage. Leveraging its ability to mix different capacity RDX media (160 GB to 1 TB) in a single appliance, the RDX A8 provides “pay-as-you-grow” storage scalability and investment protection.
The Imation RDX A8 delivers comprehensive benefits to SMBs:
- Backup: Faster, easier and more reliable data protection
- Restoration: Quick recovery of data in the event of a disaster
- Cloud-enabling applications: More efficient cloud seeding and storage
Data transfer rates of up to 75 megabytes per second enable rapid incremental and full backups, while random access ensures users can find information more quickly than with any sequential-access tape solution. Combining fast access times, high data transfer rates, infinitely scalable capacity and ruggedized media for reliable performance, the Imation RDX A8 is an affordable, enterprise-strength backup system that’s purpose-built for SMBs.
