Tape Library Sales and Repair Services
Protecting your investment and maximizing the life of your current data backup solutions can always be a daunting and sometimes overwhelming task, tape libraries are an enterprise class solution to get THAT job done.
Tape libraries can store immense amounts of data, currently ranging from 20 terabytes up to more than 50 petabytes of data, or about one hundred thousand times the capacity of a typical hard drive and well in excess of capacities achievable with network attached storage. For large data-storage, Tape libraries are a highly cost-effective solution, with cost per gigabyte as low as $0.10 USD. Tape libraries also add the value of providing systematic access to very large quantities of data. The tradeoff for their larger capacity is their slower access time, which usually involves mechanical manipulation of tapes. Access to data in a library takes from several seconds to several minutes.
Pinetree Peripherals, sells and repairs tape libraries and can provide on-site service and part sales to help you keep your mission-critical assets up and running, in a cost-effective manner.
