MAMMOTH

The Mammoth Cartridge Tape Subsystem takes 8mm tape performance to new levels, with an uncompressed data capacity of 20GB, and a 3MB/sec. data transfer rate. Its high capacity, fast transfer rate and rapid search speed provide the performance required to meet growing data storage needs. Mammoth not only provides quick backup of ever-expanding quantities of data, but also paves the way for emerging applications such as digital video and multimedia, near-online storage and hierarchical storage management. High performance data compression using the intelligent IDRC (Improved Data Recording Capability) algorithm typically doubles capacity and throughput. Mammoth's read compatibility with previous product generations protects the long-term investment in 8mm technology.
