The Sun StorEdge SDLT 220 desktop tape drive is a single-drive tape option for the backup of workstations, servers, and small databases. The Sun StorEdge SDLT 220 desktop unit delivers reliable data protection, including backup and retrieval, of your valuable data. You can manage your data with significantly shorter backup windows than comparable desktop tape drives for higher performance and increased productivity. The tape drive is also backward-read compatible with DLT type IV media, which preserves your investment in the DLT tape platform. The higher capacity of the Sun StorEdge SDLT 220 drive means that you need fewer cartridges, resulting in a lower investment in new cartridges.
