In film and video editing and special effects creation, it is critical for
editors to be able to move jobs quickly and safely on and off their
workstations. In many organizations, each editing workstation has a
dedicated DLTtape drive for near on-line storage. The introduction
of Super DLTtape drives allows editors to move jobs on and off
their workstations faster, thus eliminating down time, and lets them
manage even larger files more efficiently, again saving time. As
video and film files grow larger, dedicated Super DLTtape-based
libraries could become the industry standard.
Other applications in which Super DLTtape technology has had an
immediate impact are image-based applications, such as medical
imaging, and real-time scientific data collection applications, in
which there is an essentially unlimited need for more speed and
more capacity.
In order to meet the varying needs of these and many other appli-
cations, Quantum will offer a range of Super DLTtape technology-
based products. These products address the individual storage
needs of low-, mid-, and high-end system users in the mid-range
storage market. This range of offerings will make it possible to meet
the needs of an expanding range of vertical market applications.
Let’s take a closer look at some of these vertical applications and
how the DLTtape system is making life easier for a growing num-
ber of users in speciality markets.
