Dianne McAdam Tap Quotations

I think tape's going to be around a long time, but it's being repositioned. We're still going to need tape to hold older backups and longer term archives because it's still the most inexpensive way to do that. The difference is that tape will be the second tier of backups, not the first tier anymore.

In the enterprise, you already have all these libraries, but a lot of midsized companies want smaller automated tape products. The PX500 series plays into that market -- the lower end.

This is a pretty powerful tool. Backup software does not keep historical information like this and other tape vendors do not have the capacity to keep this information for long periods of time.
