Sun StorageTek T10000B Tape Drive

Bigger is better, biggest is best

Looking for a better way to boost storage capacity without increasing your footprint? The eco-efficient Sun StorageTek T10000B tape drive delivers the industry’s highest capacity, making it ideal for 24x7 datacenter operations requiring high duty cycle data storage and retrieval.


Simplified Management
Highest capacity and high performance
Finding a way to boost performance without increasing your footprint or your budget is key to improving utilization and reducing costs. With 1 TB native capacity and 120 MB/sec throughput, the StorageTek T10000B tape drive delivers a potent combination that enables you to double your capacity in the same footprint while simplifying media management.

A terabyte of data in less than 2.5 hours
As a result of its 120 MB/sec throughput, the StorageTek T10000B lets you write a terabyte of data in less than 2.5 hours, shrinking backup windows and saving staff time and resources. Add optional sport cartridges to the mix and get 2x faster average access to data.

Reduced power, and acquisition costs
In addition to providing you with the highest capacity and throughput, the energy-efficient StorageTek tape libraries and drives help you minimize power, cooling and acquisition costs when compared to disk in production, backup/restore, disaster recovery, and archive applications.

Broad Compatibility
Seamless integration protects your investment
The StorageTek T10000B tape drive protects your investment through media reusability, connectivity, and exceptional compatibility. It integrates seamlessly into your existing mainframe infrastructure and maximizes utilization by enabling you to re-use your existing T10000 media.

Compatible with third-party applications
What’s more, the StorageTek T10000B is compatible with Sun StorageTek enterprise libraries and integrates seamlessly with leading third-party enterprise software libraries and business applications. This simplifies deployment and maximizes your return on investment.

FICON and Fibre Channel connectivity
The StorageTek T10000B further simplifies deployment by providing both FICON and Fibre Channel connectivity. For the first time, the T10000B utilizes the same physical tape drive for FICON and Fibre Channel, allowing you to easily transition between both open systems and mainframe environments.

Reliable Performance
Designed for high duty cycle environments
The enterprise demands of start-stop and high duty cycles place components and subassemblies under tremendous stress. Each component and sub-assembly in the StorageTek T10000B is designed to meet these rigorous operational demands.

The tape drive supports your most demanding 24x7 business operations with highly reliable, enterprise-class tape drive technology adapted from the proven Sun StorageTek T10000 tape drive.

Superior mechanics
The drive’s superior mechanics include a dual head design that reduces media wear, unique hub-locking cartridge design, the highest level of Error Code Correction capability available today, and the SafeGuide tape path.

SafeGuide tape path reduces media wear
Sun’s renowned SafeGuide tape path implements a 5-roller design that guides the media without contacting the tape data surface. Only the tape heads contact the data surface, reducing media wear and improving reliability.

Lower linear velocity ensures accuracy
While competitive drives run at higher linear velocities, the StorageTek T10000B’s lower speed ensures more accurate tracking at the head/tape interface. The lower velocity also ensures more gentle tape handling, improving long-term data reliability.

Protects Your Data
Meet your evolving data security and compliance requirements
With the StorageTek 10000B tape drive, you can take advantage of encryption and write-once read-many (WORM) technology to meet your evolving requirements for data security and compliance.

Built-in encryption capabilities
The StorageTek T10000B comes with built-in encryption that works in conjunction with the Sun Crypto Key Management System. This tape-encryption appliance provides a simple, centralized, scalable solution for managing the keys used to encrypt and decrypt data written by the tape drive. This ensures that only the right people have access to the data, and helps you avoid potential legal and financial problems caused by loss or theft of unencrypted data.

VolSafe keeps it safe and secure
In addition, Sun StorageTek VolSafe secure media technology provides WORM capability to help you meet stringent electronic storage regulatory and legal requirements You can store data securely on non-erasable, non-rewritable tape and recall it quickly when you need it.

Hanns.G HG281DJ 28in TFT

A super-sized, high-quality display at an affordable price

Written by Paul Monckton
personal computer world, 14 Jul 2008

The first thing you notice about this display is its 28in size.

Not simply the physical dimensions of the screen, but also the enlarged type and icons.

It has the same 1,920x1,200-pixel resolution as a 24in monitor, so the individual pixels are much bigger.

We were pleased to see that, unlike with some other large-screen displays, the grid lines between the pixels were almost invisible, keeping images smooth and text easy to read.

If your eyesight isn’t great, then this monitor could make things a whole lot easier for you.

Fitted with a pair of video inputs, the HG281DJ can accept analogue video via the standard VGA port and digital connections via HDMI.

It will also accept high-definition analogue component video via an adapter, which is good news if you want to use the display for gaming on an original model Xbox 360.

At 500cd/m2, this is a very bright screen, so you can make full use of its TV-like proportions for watching HD video in well-lit rooms without difficulty.

Contrast levels could be better – there’s some noticeable backlight bleeding in dark scenes – but overall the HD281DJ acquits itself rather well for a TN panel and is capable of delivering vivid, saturated colours beyond our expectations.

However, one major omission is the lack of flexible scaling options for 16:9 and 4:3 inputs, meaning you’ll have to rely on your PC graphics card for that.

Externally, the casing is robust and well made, if a little uninspiring, with a bezel that’s rather thick by today’s standards. The power switch and menu controls are mounted vertically down the right-hand edge of the case, making them rather frustrating to use as you can’t read the labels and look at the screen simultaneously.

If you’re in the market for a large screen, the HG281DJ is a decent quality display that won’t break the bank.
