Product information for Quantum BC2AA-FM:

The Quantum Streamer BC2AA-FM is an internal DLT streamer designed for use in server and storage systems. It supports the DLT VS160 tape format and is intended for secure, high-capacity data backup and archiving. The device is designed for installation in standard computer or server housings and enables data storage in physical tape form, suitable for long-term archiving.

Applications

The streamer is primarily intended for businesses and IT infrastructures requiring reliable, tape-based data backup. Typical use cases include backup strategies for servers, workstation systems, or small to medium data centers. The DLT VS160 format is particularly suitable for environments requiring high data security and long media lifespan. The device is used in internal systems, with physical installation inside the computer housing.

Functions and Features in Detail

The streamer offers a nominal capacity of 80 GB, with an effective capacity of up to 160 GB achievable through compression. Compression is performed automatically and depends on data structure; non-compressible data reaches the nominal capacity. The data transfer rate is 8 MB/s in non-compressed mode and 16 MB/s with compressed data. These values refer to the speed at which data is written to or read from the tape. The MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) is 250,000 hours, indicating high reliability and long service life of the device.

Technology Explained Simply

The streamer uses the DLT VS160 tape format, a standard for magnetic tape drives offering high data density and stability. Data is stored on a magnetic tape housed in a special cartridge (tape cassette). Compression is performed hardware-based, increasing effective storage capacity. The MTBF rating is a measure of expected operational life without failure and is used in industry to assess component reliability. The stated data transfer rate describes the speed at which data can be written to or read from the tape.

Compatibility and Accessories

The streamer is designed for use with DLT VS160 tape cartridges. These cartridges are specifically developed for the DLT VS160 format and must be used for device operation. Compatibility is limited to the DLT VS160 format; no other tape formats are supported.

Installation and Mounting

The streamer is an internal single unit and is installed in a standard computer or server housing. Installation involves mechanical mounting in an available drive bay, with electrical and data connections properly wired. The installation requires physical mounting and cabling according to system requirements.

Operational Advantages

The streamer provides high storage capacity with minimal space requirement in the system. Automatic compression increases effective capacity and reduces the number of required tape cartridges. The high MTBF rating indicates long operational life and low failure probability, which is beneficial for critical backup systems. The data transfer rate enables efficient data backup and recovery, with speed doubling for compressed data compared to non-compressed data.
