VXA tape format is more superior and intelligent than streaming tape formats including heliacal scan and linear media technologies. VXA tape format’s unparalleled media reliability comes from its innovative “data packet” technology. The data is first broken into smaller units and unique addresses are assigned to them. Data storage and archival procedure adopted by the VXA format is almost similar to the way information is send and received on the internet. Exabyte VXA-1 drives read-write data at 3 MB/s native speed. VXA drives attain 2:1 compression, thus resulting in double the amount of VXA tape cartridges’ native capacity.
Exabyte VXA-1 tape devices are loaded with cutting-edge technologies to help the users feel safe about their sensitive data, like read-after-write system, error correction and hardware compression. In order to assure absolute integrity, the VXA drive reads the data after writing it onto the tape during its record-operation. If the drive detects a write-error, then the VXA drive moves back to the specific data track and re-writes the data packet. This new error correction system not only detects the errors, but also efficiently corrects it as well without affecting the overall performance. This error correction is done during the write-operation, thus saving your valuable time.
